We had such a great weekend! We took advantage of the great weather (not too hot, not too cold = perfect) AND a good portion of the U.C. population was at the BYU game therefore leaving the rest of Provo not crowded and free to explore! We decided to head up to Sundance and ride the tram. It was beautiful... we all loved every minute of it.
At the top of the lift we got off the tram and decided to hike to Stewart Falls. The kids were such troopers and loved hiking. They loved seeing so many grasshoppers and butterflies. We even spotted a couple of deer.
Aspen's poor little legs got a bit tired so she needed a ride for part of the hike. We hiked about a mile and a half to get to the waterfall and then instead of hiking the rest of the way back down to Sundance, we hiked the mile and a half back up so we could enjoy the tram ride on the way down. Parts of the hike got pretty steep... that made for sore legs later in the day!
The waterfall was amazing-- it was so beautiful. We sat on some rocks, ate some snacks, and enjoyed taking in nature and all of the beauty surrounding us! It was great to be together-- just the four of us-- no cell phones, no video games, no ipods... JUST US! We decided we need to do stuff like this more often. The kids thanked us over and over and over for taking them... they loved it!
**NOTE to those asking about our family pics: My darling little Aspen was the photog for the one of me and Jared. Then some random, really nice lady offered to take the family picture.**

i think you have one of the most adorable families in america. and now look at you, going for hikes on a saturday afternoon. could you be any more picture perfect?
What a fun idea. I love the pictures you took. That sounds like such a fun family activity. I sent you an invite, let me know if you don't get it!
What darling photos -- who took the one of you and Jared and the kids? Did you set a timer or have someone take it? Love them!
I agree, the family pics are just darling. I like the one of you and Jared...so cute. You'll have to tell me how to get from the falls to the tram though.....I didn't know you could do that. That sure would have saved my toenail..
I love the hike to Stewart Falls--very kid friendly. I also want to know about hiking to the tram. These are the cutest pictures of your family! I love them.
ok, I want you or Jaime to make me one of those darling headers. I don't know how to do that and I love it!
