Calf Creek

Today our family hiked up to the Calf Creek Waterfall and I can honestly say it was one of the coolest things I've ever seen! The falls were about 120 feet tall and the hike in was about 3 miles each way, so we hiked about 6 miles in total today. It was worth it though :) When we made it to the top, Meg and I swam in the 50 degree water, out to the base of the falls. It was hard, but its good to say we did it. I still can't believe we did it! That water was ice cold!Savannah made it through all 6 miles without complaining, and made the hike alot more fun. She has found a bunch of new "forts" throughout our adventures, which include holes in rocks and replicas of Anasazi homes. She definatley keeps the rest of us going! Mom and Dad are doing good, and I think they like being back in good old Southern Utah where they both grew up. I know Meg and I are discovering a lot about our parents as they talk about "What they did when they were kids" :) I've enjoyed hearing all of the stories and seeing how much they know about the land. We also went up to/ across Hells Backbone...its a bridge on the top of a mountain with a straight drop on both sides. It was definatley an experience! I think we all enjoyed it, even Dad who has a thing about heights- he can't stand them! He was extra careful to stay a safe distance away from the edge, which is good because we wouldn't want anything bad to happen :) When we were driving up the mountain there were some cows and bulls that were roaming on the side of the road and in the surounding areas. At one point there was a Bull and a calf and Savannah said " That bull must be that little cows mommy!" Classic! We really must be city girls :) We were laughing for quite a while after that one.

Well, enough of me talking! A picture is worth a thousand words, so here's a couple pics!

This is a picture of Savannah and I on the top of a rock at Hells Backbone.

Meg's first attempt to get under the falls :)

Savannah found a giant flower- the type you blow the seeds off of and make a wish.

Two of a Kind!

What a dare-devil! This is Meg on a cliff up at Hells Backbone....Dad went and waited in the van because he couldn't watch her climb out on the cliff :)

Thats all for now!
