On April 17 we went to Arches National park for the last part of Spring Break. The weather was perfect that Thurs and Fri. We did all the little hikes that the kids could handle. The views were amazing. We hiked all Thurs afternoon. Then went to Moab where we stayed in a Motel. We ended up eating dinner at Pizza Hut which we will not do again until the kids are older. Way too long of a wait for the food and nothing for the kids to do. Also very loud and crowded. Staying in a tiny hotel room with 4 little kids is insane. Kids wouldn't settle down until late. Leia cried in the night and was confused. I was worried and couldn't get any sleep. It was one of those nights where I saw every hour on the clock go by. So after no sleep we decided that one night of that was enough. We hiked and saw all the rest of the things that we wanted to on Friday and then headed back for home. We stopped in Green River and tried to have a nice lunch at the Tamarisk Restaurant. We got home Friday evening which turned out to be a real blessing because Saturday I woke up as sick as could be. I was fevering and my tonsil flared up huge. I felt like I had been run over by a truck. It was not good, but I was so glad to be home and not on the road. Well I guess that is what I get for not getting any sleep the night before. I don't know. I was totally down on Sat and Sunday sick in the ditch and then Monday I was getting stronger and better. I had to get better! There was so much to do! The kids , the payroll, the house, the laundry. I am still glad that we went on the this little trip though. Just look at those cool pictures! It was a good time.
