# The Day We Named Sammy’s Arch

April 10, 2015 1 min read

The day our youngest led us to Delicate Arch in Arches National Park was a coming of age for all of us. After watching his big brother and big sister in the lead on other hikes, he knew just what to do. Here’s the story (http://www.parents.com/blogs/parents-perspective/2015/04/07/fun/kids-take-the-lead-at-national-parks/), my post this month for Parents Magazine.
