An Easy Hike?

I have been looking for easy, family-friendly (aka out of shape thirty-something friendly) hikes to take with the kids, and discovered Battle Creek in Pleasant Grove. It was supposed to be a short hike, not too steep, to a waterfall, with shallow pools the kids could play in. Sounded great!
Amy Udy and her four kids came with us, and so did Gabe's buddy Tyson.
The falls were beautiful, but we almost stopped before them, as there were several falls before these:

We had a great time freezing our feet in the cold water and relaxing in the shade. (Especially relaxing in the shade).
The kids had a good time, Amy and I could barely keep up with them. They explored, skipped rocks, ran, walked, fell, climbed, and laughed. It definitely wasn't the quick and easy hike I anticipated, but it was beautiful, peaceful, and strangely relaxing. Here are a few photos.
