Birthday Hike

We did our annual birthday hike up Little Cottonwood Canyon for my birthday on Monday. As usual it was a fun adventure. We have done this hike as a tradition almost every year since 2004 (before we were married).
We started our hike on the trail to the waterfall and it turned out that the trail has been covered up by the forest service people (if thats what you call them). Trees had been cut down to cover up the trail. Well it fooled us:) We took a wrong turn and ended up bushwhacking it and climbing big rocks to get to the waterfall. It took us about two and a half hours to get to our destination. I was really proud of Calvin's hiking skills and Bryce for caring both boys through a lot of it.
We decided to try and take the trail back. It only took us ten minutes to get back to our car. That is how far we were off the trail on our way to the waterfall. I am really thankful I listened to Bryce because I thought we had to go the opposite way the whole time we were hiking. Bryce has a great sense of the outdoors:) Here are a few pictures.






For those who wanted to see a side picture of my belly. This is me a week ago at 24 weeks.
