Hiking with Cass

A few weeks ago Cassidi came down for the weekend. It was SO good to see her.

On Sunday the weather was perfect so we headed out for a hike.

We thought we would try Kolob canyon since its not far from our house.

It was a BEAUTIFUL hike. Its hard to believe we can be in a desert looking at red rocks and at the same time walking through streams and lush greenery.

Luke is really getting much better at hiking. This hike turned out to be five hours. He walked all but the very last of it. Of course 98% of the time he was walking he insisted on holding sisters hand. (He simply adores Cass) Kolby got the deluxe ride on dads back.

Past the end of the hike there is a secret waterfall. It was just breathtaking how the water had carved the rocks smooth.

This is the real end of the hike, a massive overhang, you can tell by the size of us how large it is. Stunning with all the colors of the rainbow and water dripping down.

I hiked up on top of the waterfall this is looking down the canyon we had just hiked up.

We didn't really know what to expect so we all wore our hiking shoes/boots not our water shoes. On the way up we were all so careful to jump over the streams and not get wet.

Not so much on the way back, we all just jumped in the water and followed the stream.

We all had a blast and it was all the more fun because we got to share it with Cass.
