Tradition in the Bush family is to get out and hike once the leaves start changing. We live in such a beautiful place where we can drive for 15 minutes and be in the most beautiful wilderness. Our favorite spot is up South Fork off the Provo Canyon. There are trails galore and the most colorful and beautiful foliage.
This year we picked a cloudy Sunday afternoon to go up and retrieve our car from the top of South Fork where I'd parked it the day before for a long run down the canyon with a friend. It was the perfect excuse to take the family for a hike. We packed a picnic, picked a spot by the river, and ate our lunch. A few minutes after we began eating, the rain started pouring and luckily we were next to a pavilion and were able to wait out the storm before our hike. We hiked for about 20 minutes before the rain began to pour again; this time it didn't stop. We sought shelter in some trees while the kids whined and snuggled in, trying to stay dry. I said, "Isn't this fun!! It's like a real adventure!" They weren't convinced and I didn't hear the end of it all the way back to the car.
