Yesterday Darwin and I, along with Jared, Tracee, and Reagan took advantage of the nice, cooler weather and went for a hike to
Donut Falls up Big Cottonwood Canyon in Salt Lake. Jared & Tracee have done the hike before when the falls were still snow covered, but it's a hike Dar & I hadn't experienced before yesterday. It's a really simple hike to do, and would be a great one to do if you wanted to take your small kids out to experience some nature. The reason it's called "Donut Falls" is because the water comes down through a big hole it created in the side of the mountain. It's really beautiful, and yesterday was the perfect day to do it. Here's some pictures :)

Dar is getting really good at taking longer exposed pictures. Some of them look really cool!
The unfortunate thing is that these boulders were put in front of the falls, so in order to get a good view of them you have to climb all over the place, and it could be risky to do with kids. Luckily Reagan was in a carrying back pack Jared & Tracee got for her. But she was getting antsy and wanted to walk around on the rocks by herself.
You can see the water coming down through the rock in the background.
Reagan started to get a little tired & grumpy :)
Dar & Jared climbed up on top of the falls to get a better view.
This is one of my favorite shots Dar got.
If you can't tell, Reagan has flowers in both hands, and she was holding them straight out. It was pretty funny. She's so cute :)
DARWIN is on his 12th year of teaching, currently at Springville High School teaching astronomy, geology, environmental science, and physics. He also teaches physics at UVU for a 7 week STEM summer school program for junior high students. He also teaches teenagers in our church ward. He's super busy, but still makes time to be an awesome dad and husband.
