Picnic in the Canyon

On Tuesday, we went on a picnic up Big Cottonwood Canyon.  It was very pretty.

Everyone loved throwing rocks in the river.  Nate tried to take a different way across, and unfortunately stepped on a rock that wasn't too stable. He landed both feet in the water as he tried to get back on the rocks.  The funny thing was, a few minutes later, he tried the same path.  Stepped on the same rock and had the same wet outcome.  Sometimes we don't learn on the first mistake.  A lesson we can all learn from :).  

After throwing rocks for awhile, we went on a walk up the trail and eventually came to this fallen tree which we thought made a good picture spot.  We then went back for some cookies and headed home for T.J.'s flag football game.  It was the first time Margaret has seen American football.  I think she was a bit confused, especially with it being a revised version for 8 year olds!
