Donut Falls

This past Saturday we hiked Donut Falls with one of Jonny's co-workers and his darling family. (So far we have hiked, biked, and/or ran a race every Saturday this summer. It's so fun to look forward to an awesome outdoor activity all week.) It was a perfect hike for the kids, 4 and 6 years old. (Well, their dad Steven did have to carry them across the freezing river! And it was a little scary watching Jonny step from slippery rock to slippery rock with Julia on his back. Nothing too dangerous for sure, but a little adventurous!) The waterfall is gorgeous and there is some fun climbing involved. We highly recommend this hike that begins not too far up Big Cottonwood Canyon, just remember to wear shoes you don't mind getting wet and bring donuts to eat at the falls! (See Julia demonstrating donut-hole eating below.)

Your baby look a little bit like she is foaming at the mouth, and then I saw a donut, and it all made sense. Did you save some donuts for us non hikers?
