Delicate Arch and the Melon Days

Here are my pictures from when I hiked to Wolfe Ranch and Delicate Arch last week. I am in some of them... can you see me?

Frame Arch - aptly named

Me standing on the right side of Delicate Arch (the French woman taking my pictures insisted on getting as many as she could...)

I look so tiny!!

Melon Days in Green River! It was so much fun and I bought a delicious Crenshaw melon!

Me stuffing my face with delicious watermelon

So much has happened!

Since I've blogged last, a lot has happened! I think I will make this a picture blog, and write what is going on underneath the pictures that need explanation.

Here are some pictures that Karen took of me teaching the station called "Rocks, Rocks and More Rocks!" We do an activity where the kids pair off and one is blindfolded, and they have to guess which rock belongs to them based on weight and texture.

These next pictures are from the main attraction at Arches- The Fiery Furnace! Visitors pay a fee of $10 to go on this climbing tour. Here are my pictures! It was SO fun.
