Memorial Day

We hope everyone had a wonderful Memorial Day weekend even though the weather was gloomy and wet here in Utah. The rain didn't stop us from wanting to go out so we did. Grandma and Grandpa Thompson took Evan under their wings so we could hike to Fifth Waters in Spanish Fork Canyon. Amy and Austin braved it with us. It was sprinkling as we drove up to the Trail head. When we got out of the car and started walking, the rain stopped. The smell was heavenly on the trail until we got closer to our destinations. If any of you haven't heard of Fifth Waters, its a trail that leads to some Hot Pots so their was a lovely smell of sulfur in the air. Despite the smell, the trail was beautiful.



After a 2.5 mile hike, the water was very enjoyable. It was so nice to relax and talk with fellow hikers.

Considering that it was a rainy and cold day, it was actually really nice. We couldn't have timed it any better. The sun came out for us but as we were walking back to the car, it started raining again. I was the only one that managed to get mud all over the back of my pants. I don't know how everyone else came out of that pretty clean.
