We started off on the trail up Mount Timpanogos, but quickly discovered that it has been washed out by our massive snow melt and last night's torrential rainstorm. So we wandered around for a bit, then took off up the trail to Stewart Falls. It is GORGEOUS! The rain has kept everything green and beautiful, much more lush than it typically is in July. The hike wasn't overly hot and the kids were troopers.
When we got to the falls, we discovered that they were extraordinarily full and that the base of the falls was covered in feet of snow! We enjoyed lunch and a cool-off at the falls, then hiked back.
We ended the day at the Riverwoods - they've put in some water spouts and the kids enjoyed playing in them for a while (after Mommy got some iced coffee). Then I bought them some clearance sale clothes at Gymboree to wear home and there you have it! A fantastic day in the great outdoors with my wonderful kiddos!
Life is great! Being healthy enough to enjoy it is even better!

P.S. the first two pics are of the trail this morning - the moment when I realized that I needed to find an Oregon-like place to spend the day!
