Hiking as a family around Donut Falls

Our family loves to hike so we took Tanja up Big Cottonwood Canyon hiking.  I love that we have mountains and can enjoy nature in about a 15 minute drive from home.

I love this family picture with Tanja, it captures her beautiful smile and shows that she is still a little timid and shy about being here in America.




During this hiking trip we would say hi to many people along the trail as well as on our way back to the car. It was fun to Tanja to learn that American's are very friendly.
In Germany you don't talk to people, especially strangers, while you are out and about.  The only time you do this would be to ask for directions or something along those lines.

We drove further up the canyon and walked around Silver Lake.
