Hike Stewart Falls!

We just got back from hiking Stewart Falls in Provo Canyon. It was exhausting and thrilling. I carried Calvin and all the water and snacks all the way up, it says its a two-mile hike but with little Eliza legs walking most of the way it felt more like 3 and it took us almost 2 hours. 

When we got to the falls we knew we were a little pressed for time but we rested and got a little wet. Upon taking Eliza's shoes off we discovered blisters on each of her pinky toes, so we resolved to not make her walk too much on the way back. Anna found a fuzzy caterpillar that I wouldn't let her keep. And we all took turns at the falls-

We started back and saw storm clouds gathering. This time Thad carried Calvin in the pack and I was often found carrying Eliza. We got a call from Ben across the mountain and he said the rain was torrential, so we held Eliza a lot and took very few breaks and got *almost* to the car when it really broke open and poured on us. Some babies/toddlers were not pleased.

We passed some of our cousins hiking up with their kids while we were hiking down. I hope they made it down the mountain safely.
