Today was our ward dinner up in the mountains, so clint and I and my whole family went up to enjoy dinner in the mountains and a hike to donut falls. I've always loved hiking donut falls for some reason. It's a quick easy hike up and there is actually something worth hiking up to. This time, however, we were unable to go all the way up to the donut. After we took the time to walk across the river once and freeze our feet off a girl told us that paramedics were on their way because a girl had fallen up there and broke her back... We just stood around for awhile wondering what to do when and then we saw two paramedics on their way up and they started up the rocky waterfall. They had huge bags on their backs and following them were a few more EMT's with what looked like a raft thing to put the girl in and it didn't look like an easy hike up to the actual donut (where the girl was). So we decided to hike back down before it got any darker and by the time we got down to the parking lot there were tons of sheriffs around and we heard them on there walkie talkies say that they still had not got the girl down from the falls. Scary! Amid all that clint and I managed to pose for a picture to remember our hike.

New Blog
Sorry about the new blog. I had to change it because I started my other blog on my hotmail e-mail address. So to make it easier I changed it so I could have it all linked through my g-mail account. I thought it wouldn't be a huge deal because I had only blogged a few times and don't have many readers. I'll try to blog more consistently so my blog is interesting.
