We took the girls to Big Cottonwood Canyon a couple of weeks ago. Grandpa and Nana had been camping there all week and we spent the day at their campsite hiking, playing in the stream, and feeding a ground squirrel. The scenery was unbelievable and Haley and Allie had a lot of fun. The heat in the valley was 97 degrees that day but in the canyon it was only 74. It was nice to escape the heat for a while. Soon we'll be trying to escape the freezing cold!
Standing in the mountain stream was very cold, but Haley and Allie didn't seem to mind. They just wanted to be wet and were glad for the opportunity to play outside for a while.
You can see that the water was rushing very quickly at this point in the stream, but Haley insisted on getting in. I'm glad I got in with her because her foot slipped on a rock and she almost got washed away under the log. (Too bad she didn't have a change of clothes. Dry pants weren't much of a help at this point.)
Emily still does not enjoy camping. What a frown!
The hammock became the ultimate swing. Knowing how adventurous Haley and Allie are, you can imagine that they insisted Brent push them until they were completely sideways and about to fall out.
