Since Leon had Monday off for the 4th of July, we felt compelled to do something. I guess we felt like slackers for not going to the Provo parade. So, we headed on down to Payson Canyon to hike up to Grotto Falls. 
Actually, "hike" is a pretty loose term in this case since it's only .3 miles each way and requires very little effort - perfect for the non-hikers in the group (names will be withheld to protect the innocent).
There were several bridges made from logs and planks of wood that mixed things up a bit.
I guess at one point Landon found the experience too loud for him. The falls are in a cave of sorts and I suppose the sound of the waterfall and all of the people bounced off the walls more than he liked.
Since it was officially a holiday, there were many other families with the same idea. With the water being so cold, we had to wait our turn for the rocks to become available for the photo opp.
Some pretty cold feet (sorry, Laurel and Natalie - just look away).

Leon was the only one to brave the cold water long enough to wade out and stand under the fall.

Looks like a really fun hike! I'd love to try it someday.
And the FEET! You should warn a girl BEFORE an upcoming feet picture, not after it. Sheesh. (Oh PS, Natalie is no longer an official foot hater. She betrayed the code by wearing open-toe shoes. It's just phobic ol' me now.)
That looks amazing. We need to take that hike for sure!
