Saturday Morning Hike

Saturday morning we all drove up to the trailhead of Doughnut Falls hike.  Lynda Ann's family, Tucker's family and Neal and I.  We had a great time.  It wasn't too hot.  In fact, it was almost on the chilly side.  Perfect weather for hiking.  The hike was great and certainly not extremely hard.  The trail was dry.  Just a week prior there was snow still on the trail.

Some fun pictures of the hike:
Getting ready for the hike.  Sunscreen, water, hats and jackets.

 Annie's kids along with Digby coming up the road.

 Ready to start hiking

 Sisters, sisters, there were never such devoted sisters . . . . . .

 Taking a quick breather.

 Our darling returned missionary and gorgeous daughter-in-law!

 Typical picture of grandchildren on a log.  Love it!!!

 The group picture taken by some innocent but nice bystander.

 Here we are at the top of the trail.  We've come as far as the trail and river allows us to go.

 I wish the picture could catch the beauty of the falls, the rushing water and nature.

 The Gertsons with missing two.  Jeff at work and Emmi in the Navy.

 What a cute 'old' couple.  I would dare to say we are fun grandparents and pretty good sports.

 This area was the only part that was a little squeeky.  Luckily, no one slipped off the rocks and no one got wet.

 Andrew just hanging out and waiting for the group to catch up.

 Climbing up the rocks from the river below.  The rest of the trail was easy.

 Mallory with more of the family following behind.

 We took a break from the hike and Tucker and Lexi decided to have a sword fight with their walking sticks.  It appears the dad is overpowering daughter.

 But then daughter comes back strong.

 Mallory, Annie and Abby along with Digby.  So fun to have Mallory back home with us.

 Neal, holding up the two trees?  Whatever!

 Here we are at the trail end.  Waiting for every to catch up.

What a fun hike and a perfect weather day.  After the hike, we loaded up and Annie drove on up the canyon and ran into snow.  We headed down the canyon.  Everyone ended up at our house.
