So I had one daycare kid on the Friday before the 24th but I really wanted to do something with the kids. My friend Jen and her daughter Emily are up for anything so we took the kids up Payson Canyon to the Grotto which Jen had never been to. Grotto ???? big deal you say but how can you have lived in Utah County your whole life and never have been?

Stuck behind cows while trying to get up the canyon. This nice guy behind us with a car loaded with bikes got his off and started herding the cows to higher ground.


We had a picnic at the park at the mouth of the canyon before we headed up to the Grotto.


Jenna, Brady, Stephen & Brooke
