Utah Pictures, volume 2

Years ago, pre-children, we were having dinner with Kolby's boss and some coworkers and someone suggested that we go up the canyon for a BBQ the next weekend.  Kolby's boss quickly asked, "Will my children fall in the river?"  I don't know how we responded to that, but I know we've had plenty of fun laughing at that ridiculous worry every since.  

But when Clay suggested we go to this spot up Big Cottonwood Canyon on the river to picnic, the first thing I thought was "Oh no!  Will my children fall in the river?"  

They did not fall in the raging river.  And they didn't fall off a cliff, get lost in the woods, or get burned in the fire either, although I was terrified the whole time we were there that one or another catastrophe was inevitable.  

All in all, it was a fun-filled night eating partially hydrogenated vegetable oils, nitrates, meat "product," and high fructose corn syrup.   I prefer not wasting my time worrying about artery-clogging carcinogens.

Thanks, Courtney, for letting me swipe your photos.
