Arches

We recently went on a little trip to Arches National Park.

I don't know why I loved it so much, but I did.

I think part of the reason was because first thing we did

was go on the 3 mile hike to Delicate Arch.

It was challenging for my little family, but my kids rocked!

They hiked happily and didn't complain and

I was so proud that we accomplished something difficult together,

had fun while doing it & helped each other out.

At one point J and I were holding little W's hand so he could walk downhill without falling

and each of the girls came up and grabbed one of our hands. 

So we were walking downhill all holding hands in a row.

We were almost done with the hike and we were 

all I think feeling pretty good at our accomplishment.

It almost makes me cry thinking about it.  

Because it was so sweet.

And because I'm afraid that it will never happen again.

I don't know how much longer my kids will hold my hand.

But I am so grateful for that wonderful little moment that we had together.
