One Day Trip to Payson

Our one day trips seem too be just so much fun, our trip to Payson didn't seem like it was on the right path. Our tire was low, we had to get gas, food, ice...ugh we left about one and a half hours late. We were off though and we were excited!! We found the trail with no problem...and we were off...on the wrong trail. We didn't make it far until we realized this so after redirecting ourselves we were off again!! The weather was so beautiful, the trees were so beautiful, the kids were full of so much energy and we were enjoying everything about the hike. We thought the only nature we were going to see was a cow grazing all alone along the trail. Then we stumbled across a black rattlesnake. It was nice enough to warn us that he was there and to watch out. I was a little dissapointed that the creek and falls were completely dry but the hike and time with the family was great. The snake was a good lesson to teach the kids and neat to see nature.



We were then off to Woods Canyon for some fishing. Matthew didn't realize that the water was there and jumped in to begin with. We even saw a bald eagle, that was so awesome. No fish but the eagle made it all worth it. We were all completely worn out and ready for the ride home.
