Bikes, Picnics and Waterfalls

Last week the kids and I decided to get some exercise while taking in part of the beauty of Provo Canyon.  There is a great paved bike path along the Provo River through Provo Canyon.  We decided to pack a picnic lunch and our bikes and enjoy the sunshine.  We ate our lunch at Canyon View Park and then got on our bikes and rode a few miles to Bridal Veil Falls.  The parkway goes right to the falls.  We took a break here and cooled off in the natural spring water that feeds the falls.  Kendall complained of the temperature of the water more than Riley - but I didn't blame her, it was COLD!

 This is Bridal Veil Falls - Pretty, huh?

My handsome little man

 Climbing part way up the falls in the cold water

Sissy wanted to follow us regardless of how cold her feet got

 My little princess

 Love spending time with these two

Riley wanted to see under water with his sunglasses on

 I guess this proves that Little Gym has paid off, huh?

 The falls are so pretty.  I need to take Andy with us next time.  He's only seen it from the road.  I am going to miss these fun "field trips" with my kids once school starts again.

Oh to be able to go in the mountains! I am so glad you are enjoying your time in UT. You seem to take advantage of every opportunity. I can't wait to see the colors start to change as fall approaches. I can live vicariously through you. That's the part I miss the most about living there. Your photos from Alaska are beautiful. It's funny, I think I've only met your mom a couple of times but when I see pictures of Kendall she reminds me of your mom.
