I did my Murph crossfit workout on Memorial Day morning - I was happy with how it went considering we've only been out of quarantine a couple weeks.
Hiking the natural arch with Trisha's family - I carried Emmett in my hiking kid backpack-thing and it was tough! When we got to the shale I knew we were done, but we were able to snag some good pics before heading back down. Trisha's family continued on all the way to the top.
ha the only picture I could get of us both with the arch...the shale above us is much steeper than it seems
on the way down we slowed down and enjoyed the geology...plus we got to practice counting with all the steps
Emmett and I found some 'treasure'
I love calcite veins
