We had to book our campspot in October in order to get a place for Spring Break. At the time, I didn't know I would be pregnant so it sounded perfect. Even though I didn't get to hike as much as I would have liked I still had a great time and so did my family!
We got there On Saturday, and Easter was the following day, so we got to have Easter and hunt eggs in the beautiful red rocks of Arches National Park.
It's a lot more fun to hunt eggs in rocks then in your backyard!
And then there was all the glorious hiking!
Monday morning we planned to hike to Delicate Arch. This one is my favorite, and I really wanted to do it. It is only 3 miles round trip, but it is pretty much straight up for the first half. A 28 weeks pregnant woman is probably not an ideal candidate for this hike, and believe me I got lots of stares and a few comments about it. But if my 67 year old dad and my 3 year old son could do it, I was going to too. It wasn't easy...
But these two, sure make it a lot of fun...
And the view when you finally get there, is undescribeable!!!
The next few days were filled with... more hiking. :o)
We had a campfire to roast hotdogs and marshmallows, and Grandma gave them glow sticks that they pretended to were swords and fought each other as pirates.
The next day was followed by even more hiking.
And on this hike we found an impromptu spot, to get some pictures of my two favorite cuties!
Aren't they just gorgeous? Even though she has dark hair/green eyes and he is blonde with blue/grey eyes I think they look similar... it's fun to imagine what their little sister will look like.
We had so much fun! We definitely want to go back... when I am NOT pregnant, of course!

What a fun trip! You are such a tropper to be doing that right now, but it sounds like it was really worth it. You guys are making some precious memories. Can't wait until that new little girl joins in all the fun. I can't wait to meet her!
