"The family, as we have traditionally known it, is such a refuge of safety. When true values and basic virtues undergird the families of society, hope will conquer despair, and faith will triumph over doubt". President Thomas S. Monson

Hikes and Waterfall Adventures

We went on a a lot of hikes this summer. We have so many that are so close to home. 3 of the hikes were up to waterfalls. Utah is such a beautiful state. We are so blessed to live here and enjoy the magnificent beauties of the earth that the Lord has created. It it truly marvelous.
Bridal Veil Falls, Provo Canyon
It was a little chilly

the girls climbing up the rocks
Madison met a Doggy. She just loves animals. She gets so excited when she sees them.
Dave being funny while trying to take a picture.
The family
Battle Creek Falls, Pleasant Grove
On our way up the trail there was a dead snake. Umm where is the head?
oh there it is... pretty Gross.
The halfway point.

It was a bit cold.... but Madison still loved playing in the water.






Addy like throwing rocks in the water.
Mt. Timpanogos Cave, American Fork Canyon








Stewart Falls, off the Alpine Loop
This was such a pretty trail. It's nice to have most of the trail shaded with the weather so hot. This was our first time to Stewart Falls.





Some of us went under the waterfall.

Nicole and Alicia
Me and Addy. She wasn't to happy about getting wet. The water is really cold. But it felt so good after that hike.
Joni and Mariah went up a little further where the waterfall is.


Looking down.
Jessica and Alicia went up higher to.

Addy got to pet a cute little doggy. Her name was bella.
taking a rest in the shade on the way back.
Yuck.... we were so dirty.
We ran out of water on the way back and we all couldn't wait to have lunch. So we stopped at the Subway at the bottom of the canyon. Ahh, so refreshing. This was a great hike, with beautiful views. Great for all the family, so we will definitly be doing this again.
