Clear back in May we finally deemed our family ready for a hike. Meaning, all of us together. Mark’s been hiking with Téa before and Mark and I did Mount Timpanogos two years ago but we’ve never gone as a family. We started out with an easy hike that Piper could manage.
The girls were excited to go. They thought they were cool with their new walking sticks Mark found in China. They have cool features like a compass (that may or may not point you in the right direction), a flashlight and a handy dandy wrist strap.
Off we go!
The girls insisted on pictures along the way. I couldn’t say no.
Téa had to show off to her sisters that she could cross the water on the log.
Calista doing her thing.
Don’t ask me how Piper made it up farther than her older sisters. Getting her down from up there was fun, let me tell you.
Finally made it to the waterfall.
Indiana Jones was there too. Oh, wait that’s Mark.
This is the face I got when I told Piper to smile. Awesome.
Mark, then had to show Téa up on the log climbing thing.
We had a great time. Things were going great until Piper decided to throw a huge rock at Téa’s leg. Thankfully no lasting damage was done. Mark took Piper straight back to the car to teach her a lesson. I have no idea what that entailed. Téa, Calista and I headed back at a more leisurely pace. No one fell in the stream, scraped a knee, or fell over a cliff. I’ll count the whole outing a success.

I keep saying I am going to take my kids on a hike up there and then I think about both my girls pooping out and having to carry them up...
