This was the last major outing of our trip. It was Jim & Sage's first trip to Calf Creek Falls, but hopefully not their last! The trip started off not so great - when we got to the parking lot we found that Sage had blown out her pants. So...we had to resort to the back-up outfit which happened to be long sleeved pajamas. Not ideal for the climate/situation, but they would have to make due until her outfit dried. She did okay most of the way up, fell asleep after awhile. But the last half mile or so she cried. I couldn't take it after a few minutes, so I ended up carrying her. We ate lunch there, Sage took a little snooze, and we all played in the water a bit (but it was just as cold as I remembered it being.) Jim was the only one that managed to get ALL the way in. On the way out Sage was NOT a happy camper. She did sleep for a little while, but once she woke up it was a ball-fest!!! She cried, and cried, and cried, and cried! I think people thought we were being negligent parents, but I don't THINK there was anything wrong with her. She was just done with being in that backpack. It was a long trip back, but we finally made it out. We hope to do it again some day. When Sage can walk :)

So fun to see the places that you have been over the last while. Sage is certainly getting her introduction to the world! By-the-way...is that baby cruelty...putting her in Calf Creek??? lol. It IS cold water! What a beautiful place though! You will have to go sometime and camp there. We had fun doing that with our little kids. They loved the water!
That is quite a trick...Jim holding up Sage in one hand. How cute!
Love all of the pics! They are so fun to see!
i remember the good ol teva tan i used to try to perfect while hiking to the falls with you every summer. i also remember how the temperature totally drops when you get close to the falls. aaah... so refreshing. regarding the pic below. i guess i should let todd try that with sailor. i freak out everytime he even puts her above his head. this is me "todd... todd... todd, please put her down that makes me nervous" . he actually quoted me the other day when i put her over my head. i'm such a hypocrite. love all of your pics.
I so want to take Shay there so bad! So beautiful!
