Mesa Falls

Finally the snow is gone and the weather is better so we have decided to start exploring the terrain around Rigby. Plus we have 9:00 o'clock church and needed away to subdue the wild animals that live in our house. We have found Sunday afternoon drives do the trick. A couple of weeks ago we drove up to Palisades Reservoir, but first we stopped off at Palisades creek camp ground to have a picnic. When we got there we noticed there was a hiking trail so after lunch we went for a short hike. We are very regretful that we didn't have a camera because there was a cool water fall and some neat looking cliffs. We soon realized we were very unprepared for a hike and turned back to the car. Ethan was very distraught for he wanted to hike further down the trail. As we continued toward the car we gave Ethan a lesson on how we were very unprepared for a hike and gave him an equipment list of what we need to be more prepared.
Sunday May 31, we set out to see the lower Mesa Falls just North of Ashton. We thought we were more prepared this week, but we were wrong. We forgot the insect repellent and the mosquitoes were very thick they about carried Kyra off. We went down to the falls had some nice lady take a picture and ran back to the car. Then as we were ready to leave I looked at the camera and notice the nice lady didn't get the falls in the picture so I ran down to the falls and snapped a picture to prove that we were actually at Mesa falls. The drive was very beautiful and the kids had fun too. Next time we will have the bug spray ready.
