How we celebrated 11 years married!
All together, with our two beautiful boys.
Last year for our tenth Ben and I went to Las Vegas, alone, for a great little get away. This year I strongly felt I wanted to just do something together as a family.
I have never been to Arches before. It's awesome! Awesome I say. I noticed in the parking lots that Utah plates were very rare. I saw Tennesee, Texas, Washington, Oregon, lots of California, and a few others. I think sometimes we take for granted the awesomeness that may only be a few hours drive away for us. People come from all over the country to see these! There were also lots of people from other countries too. We loved it.
Just a little brag moment for our little Andy, who has been potty trained for several weeks. I worried when we started our Delicate Arch hike that he wouldn't be able to hold it the whole time. We even brought a pull-up for emergencies. Ha! He made it the whole time no problem, and not once on our trip did he have an accident. SA-WEET! What a good little Manny-man.
Day 2 was tiring! He slept a good 45 minutes or more bobbing around in the backpack.
Charlie is a rockstar hiker and I started calling him my mountain goat because he was so good. He liked that a lot, and started saying, "I'm a mountain goat, eee-awww." Ha ha! We reminded him that a donkey says eee-aww not a goat. So funny! 
Ben found some fun off-road trails to four wheel drive on, the scenery was gorgeous. This hole looks a lot smaller before you get to it. I was a little worried we wouldn't fit, but then I climbed out and saw it was fine.
Now if this isn't a perfect "Backcountry Ben" photo then I don't know what is!

What an awesome trip, it looks so fun. Congrats on the 11 years!
I'm so glad I you had a good time. I notice the same thing about the license plates when we went to Bryce Canyon this summer. Over the course of three days we counted licenses plates from 17 different states, saw tour buses full of foreign speaking people. Interesting. After trying to potty train Kara I have concluded that it doesn't matter what people say boys are easier to potty train than girls! So proud of Andy!
Wowzer! I think that is beautiful. And congrats to your 11 years of bliss, right? And that is perfect to have the whole family go to celebrate with. That family is what you have made together through your marriage.
Boy, I must be having some hormones, that made me cry just typing this up... so now you know that I really meant this from my heart. love gina
