Vacation – day 5

Here’s a pretty picture from our campsite.  It was hot in the tent this morning.  No sleeping in… Here we are at Arches National Park.  It is still very hot.  Look at all the stuff packed on top of our car! The rock structures were really neat.  We saw sheep rock and elephant rock. I liked looking for windows in the rocks as we drove by. At the visitor’s center I got some bird fact cards to color.  There is a barn owl! I learned all about plants like the yucca from a ranger and earned a junior ecologist sticker! We didn’t walk the trail to the double arches, it was way too hot!  But we did walk the 104 steps between the trailheads!  There is a lot of counting this trip… It was so hot I stuck to the fence! Thank goodness the car is air conditioned!            This is Colorado.  Yay!  Another state!  I held my breath and wished for chocolate milk. We kept looking for wildlife on the rock walls, but didn’t see anything.  The river below was full of river rafters though.

Tomorrow I get to see Grandma!

Love, Elena
