Happy Valley

From our house

Utah Lake: 14 minutes west
Provo Canyon: 4 minutes east
Bridal Veil Falls: 9 minutes east
Mount Timpanogos: 20 minutes north
2 Temples: 20 minutes north or south

There's a reason it's called Happy Valley. We discovered another: Noni Gardens*: 3 minutes east.
If you have rocks and you have water, you have a happy Gage. This is the only picture I got of him actually in focus. He burns about 1,200 calories/minute.


The big, open space makes you want to take big, open steps - even if you only have a 6" inseam.


The wading pool is truly magic. It feels "iceberg runoff" cold to adults, but perfectly fine to children.

"Chill out, Mom! For Pete's sakes, it's not like I'm going to fa...WHOA! WHOA!"


"Don't say a word. I am shamed." (In my imagination he has a Spanish accent for that last sentence.)





*Please do not confuse my enthusiasm for the Gardens as any enthusiasm for MLMs, for which I have only disdain.
