Summertime is for Adventures

Every year, I get excited for the summer, because I equate summertime with adventures.  (An adventure for me usually consists of wandering around in the wilderness or a road trip, in case you were wondering.)  I feel like I haven't been fulfilling my summery adventure needs as much as I should be this year.  Perhaps this is because Danny and I went on our big road trip back in April (when we went to Capitol Reef and Mesa Verde) and haven't been able to get away since.  I've been itching to go somewhere and found this little gem on pinterest, of all places!  A couple of Saturdays ago, Danny, Danny's sister Sarah and I headed out to the Uintas to check out these waterfalls along the Provo River.  It ended up being a popular spot with lots of families.  It was gorgeous and we had fun hiking down and wading in the river a bit.  I highly recommend.

This first waterfall is just a couple steps from the parking lot.

Sarah!

Every hike I go on, I tend to talk a picture of Danny
up the trail.  I always fall behind, because I like
to take pictures of things.

View down the river. We couldn't help but continue
on and explore some more.

My favorite quote from Sarah during our hike:  "Man,
this tree has a lot of junk in it's trunk."

And now we are back to the third waterfall, or is it now the first waterfall?

It was very cool, literally.

So tough, they are.

First waterfall = Full circle.

Afterwards, we headed over to Midway for a delicious dinner of pizza, shakes for dessert, enrichment at an art show, overheard cheesy lines from an outdoor wedding and listened to one of our friends perform until the rain caught up to us and the concert was canceled.  Not a bad day, except for the rained out concert, I suppose.
