Lexie was scared when we went to Weber River off the corner of the 189 and highway 84. It wouldn't have been so bad except we were going under the bridge that the cars were driving on. This was our shortest visit mainly because it was unsafe to bring all the girls out of the car and nobody wanted to hang out under the bridge where it was so loud.
