no rest for the weary. we were up and at 'em saturday morning for our sunrise hike.
there are some things worth waking up early for and this can count as one. natalie provided some goodies to put together that morning. some YUMMY trail mix and apple slices that we soaked in orange and lemon juice while we hiked. she also carried a gallon of HOT cider in her backpack so we could all enjoy a hot drink while we watched the sunrise. it's she so sweet?!
mom, emily, natalie, katie, and melissa and the trail head for delicate arch (3 miles round trip). it's listed as a strenuous hike and i think that would be accurate. we were all so proud of our adventurous mom for doing it with us.
the view at the arch was just amazing. when we got there i was surprised at the number of people already there (mostly photographers). but, everyone was almost reverent as they took in the view. it was very peaceful.

under the arch
on the way back we also passed some rock art. pretty cool.
it was a wonderful way to start our day.
we went back to our hotel room, freshened up, took a nap, and then went to lunch. we had heard the moab brewery was THE place to eat so we went there. we were all pleased with our food.
