One of the first views of the falls from the trail.
Stewart FallsMy department offers the opportunity for faculty members to bring colleagues from other institutions to BYU to collaborate on research projects. This week I finally took advantage of the opportunity and brought another young professor to BYU. Aside from brainstorming and doing some initial data analyses, we took some time off to enjoy a hike in Provo Canyon to Stewart Falls. Chris and I originally thought it would be a perfect family hike, but my sister Eleanor convinced me that Elena and Eva might not do so well given some of our time constraints. Emily graciously offered to watch the two girls so we could still go. Since Christopher is still really stranger anxious, we brought him along in a hiking back pack.
The weather was fantastic--sunny and clear, but still cool enough for a hike. I had forgotten how enjoyable the hike is, how beautiful the view is, and how refreshing the mist from the falls is when you hike down to the base. After the hike we had to gert back to work, but not before we enjoyed a little Cafe Rio lunch.

That looks like such a beautiful hike. Gustavo and I have never hiked together so maybe we'll go do that one of these days. I'm glad you guys had an opportunity to get out and do that together it sounds like lots of fun.
We sure missed you when you couldn't come up to visit. We probably aren't making it to Utah until at least next year, but hopefully we can catch up then.

We really missed you guys too. I was looking so forward to getting caught up, meeting Riley, and showing our kids where we used to live. We need to plan an official trip to Delaware/Maryland where we have plenty of time to visit. You're always welcome at our house here in Utah whenever you're able to make it out.
