Ellis at Delicate Arch

My mom enthusiastically takes command of our family and marches us off to Arches National Park but not before my dad drowns us all with suntan lotion. She then shovels us into the visitor center while she interrogates the staff. Then we’re off in the van; the way she orders my dad to drive you’d think the van was really a tank. She marches us off to different places and makes us stand to attention while she takes our mug shots. Does she think we’re going to desert or what? There’s nowhere to go, only the desert. However, I get fed up and so I decide to go on a solo mission, it’s not long though before I’m shot down with my older brother’s complaints that I'm delaying him.
