Waterfall Canyon

I love birthdays! I especially love when people have birthdays and invite us to celebrate with them. My friend Brooke turned another year awesomer this last week and invited us to play with her and her family. We started the morning off with a quick run, then we got the kids and dads and headed up the mountain. Never having hiked the Waterfall Canyon trail, but having often heard of if, I was excited for this adventure on a beautiful day.
The hike was a little steeper and rockier than I expected it to be, but our kids, and really all of the 10 kids in tow were troopers, I don't think I heard any of them complain once. The payoff of seeing the waterfall was definitely worth a few rocky passes though - it was beautiful!
Our family right in front of the ice sheet that leads to the waterfall's base. After the picture, I immediately put my sweatshirt back on - it was much colder up close to the water.
With one last shot of the view of the valley from the waterfall, and a hot little shot of Molly in the corner, we headed back down for a picnic at a playground and some beautiful birthday day enjoyment!
