We went up the canyon on Saturday to spend time in nature. We didn't learn our lesson from the previous Saturday when we visited Bridal Veil falls with a hundred other people. We drove up American Fork Canyon and stopped at a picnic area for a minute and the kids had fun exploring. Tuck insisted on wearing his explorer hat and bringing his survival guide and gave us great tips about eating stinging nettle and dandelions. Then we headed to Tibble Fork which was ridiculously busy. No parking was more than enough reason for us to head elsewhere. We went to Cascade Springs and were pleasantly surprised that there were only a few people there (which was funny because one of them was Tuck's old preschool teacher from almost 3 years ago and she recognized him). Anyway Tucker found out why Mom and Dad are ALWAYS saying "be careful" over and over again every time we go anywhere when he fell off of the boardwalk and into the mud. He kept saying that he wanted to clean off his shoes and was a little upset. Brett and I were just glad he couldn't see his back where all of the mud was. :) All in all it was a good trip and a nice break from the norm.
p.s. I guess we need some more mountains because these ones have reached their maximum occupancy.

jack heard the Sh-boom song on your blog, and said, "Cars?"
I'm impressed he connected the music.
Jealous of your mountain adventures. We have no mountains. We just go for walks to find pine cones in neighbors yards.
And got your card in the mail. So glad to hear from you, and that you liked Tucker's picture. There were I think three that I really liked of his, do you want all of them?
nebo loop :) They look like little explorers and so cute!
