Exploring the enterance to an old Mine.

Now you need to be careful!

On the trail.

It's fun to capture everyone's uniqueness.

Scurrying up the side of the falls.
A favorite thing of the kids.
A dreaded one of Mom's.

Ahhh man, I want to go with them!




I guess I'll just sit and look at the stinking water!

Two cute heads adorned with cute flowers.

Some day when I'm older Mom will let us climb all the way up!

For now, we'll have to admire them from a distance!!

Whoa, she's buff!

One last shot in the tree.

Proud Mom of a half dozen kids!

This is a tradition that we started just last year. I hope to continue it year after year. It's nice to do other things that don't envolve sitting at a table loaded with tempting food. In fact, I would like to start doing more active things with my children on holidays instead of gathering around food. I feel like it will foster better health and strengthen family ties.

The trail is a breeze. It's completely paved and isn't even a mile long. Jaren was disappointed that I didn't let him take his shoes off and romp in the fridged water. Just another step I need to take in letting them really experience life. Next year, Jaren, next year.

Annika worried the whole time that Grace was getting too far ahead or would fall into the Provo River. I always have one child who is a worry wart. Of course nothing happened. How is that possible when there are so many "mothers" to look after her.

Kelli, Alleah and Grandma Penny came with us. I neglected to get photos of either them. I need to do a better job at getting photos of EVERYONE!
