south fork


my friend, robynn, and i realized that neither of us had been up the canyon yet this summer. we both love spending time up there and it seems criminal not to go more often when i live right at the mouth of the canyon. so, we loaded the kids into the car, supplied ourselves with all of the necessary entertainment, and headed up to south fork.


even though we brought things for the kids to play with, the main attraction (of course), was the stream. the kids loved throwing rocks and sticks into the water.



 

i've realized that going up the canyon is not the same experience that it was when i was single and without children. i still enjoy it, but it is a little more stressful to watch the kids playing near the water. i could only handle it for so long before we decided to head back to the picnic blanket and hang out there. 




eli decided to take some pictures of the group.




madeleine knows how to relax. it was great to escape to the canyon for a little while and enjoy slightly cooler temperatures and beautiful scenery.
