Hiking Maple Canyon

Continuing with delayed posts about our Utah trip ... after the Ironman we spent a few days in Nephi, UT with my parents. Ethan of course loved all the attention from grandparents. Luckily the cold snowy weather let up and we were able to spend a day hiking Maple Canyon which is about 20 minutes from Nephi. The scenery was beautiful and looks to be a great place to rock climb as the rocks were littered with climbing devices. Hiking is also a great way to entertain Ethan for the day. He had a blast climbing and jumping off rocks and exploring caves. We even found an area with some cool pictographs.
On the drive to Maple Canyon we had passed several sheep farms and promised Ethan that on the way home we would pull over so he could get a closer look. Well, to our good fortune on the way home a whole heard of sheep decided to take a stroll and we had to stop to let them pass. Ethan could not have been more thrilled as we all got out to get a close encounter with the sheep. Since it was early spring there were lots of cute little lambs for us to enjoy.
