In March we went to Moab so that Ben and his sister, Melissa, could run in the Canyonlands Half Marathon. Ben wanted to run a half marathon as part of his marathon training and he convinced Melissa to run it too. We rented a three bedroom condo and went down a day early so that we could enjoy Arches National Park. It was fun to be with the Huffs and Clara kept telling us how much she liked our new house.

We spent Friday morning in Arches. We went to Sand Dune arch where we all had fun exploring and climbing. It was my first time in Arches and we are excited to go back when we have more time to explore.
