We walked along the creek and saw all the vortexes built by New Agers (and probably gullible tourists). Here's a couple pictures of them in case you don't know what they are.
Poeple stack rocks at certain places that they think have a spiritual energy--it's their way of taking the focus off of the Creator and putting on the creation. Jeremy taught Sam a new game--Vortex Bowling. I kept the lookout for angry park rangers while they knocked down dozens of them.
We then decided to cross the creek--a better idea when standing in the sun on the side because it was cold and moving fast! On the other side, we found the Magical Swing put there by someone named Mr. Nobody. I don't know if it was magical, but it was big and fun. I even braved it, though I have had bad luck with rope swings in the past.
We crossed back over the creek as the afternoon shadows brought out all sorts of photographers who can't resist taking pictures of this beautiful place. On the way home, we stopped at my favorite Dairy Queen in the whole world.
Evan ate his first ice cream cone all by himself and I was a lot more worried about the mess from across the table than Jeremy was sitting right next to him, but he managed to get most of it in his mouth. We ended our day with a high speed pursuit up the switchbacks--we happened to pull out onto the highway behind our friend, Ryan. It wasn't really high speed, but there were some squealing tires just for the fun of it.
