Hiking in Stewart Falls

So this last Saturday Ben & I decided to go hiking. We both love being outside & being active so it sounded like a great activity. The weather said it was supposed to rain that day so we brought umbrellas & jackets and went on our way. The hike is just under 4 miles round trip. Well, about half a mile into the hike it started raining, then pouring, then hailing, then thunder & lightening. We found a grove of trees and put our jackets on and got our umbrellas out however we both managed to get soaked!! We waited for about 25 minutes hoping the storm would pass and when it didn't we decided to head back. We then ate the picnic we had packed for when we got to the waterfalls in the truck and then drove around the national park for a little while. It then started to clear up and we embarked on the hike again. It was a fun hike and so nice to be outside especially after the rain. The waterfalls were really pretty too. Utah is not normally this green this time of the year so I really reminded me of home which I loved. Here are some pictures after we got soaked and made it to the falls.

This is Ben staring out into the forest, I think he's trying to look explorerish.

Ben & Stephanie

So my computer crashed a few months ago, so tonight I had some spare time and I was uploading pictures from my camera back onto my computer. I found these random pictures of Ben & I.

We are at the TCU/Utah game. I was completely frozen by this point.

Us at the Jazz Game

Here we are at Halloween last year. Our pumpkin is in the shape of a football.
