I always love a colorful morning sunrise when taking Baylie out. Then I went on a hike with the ladies. We hit Lake Mary and Martha since there isn’t any snow at the ski resorts yet. Fun hike with mountain air and a cool wind. When I got home Sadie was making crepes and gave me some. Fantastic!

Even more fantastic was date night with Darren. We went to Ogden for a comedy show from Robert Mac. He was hilarious. One of the openers was also funny. Pre- comedy we ate at Rooster’s and then stopped at a small art gallery store.

Found some old pictures while doing a little cleaning. They were printed out as 8x10s and I love them.

Just feeling extra thankful for my family today. And that we could make apple crisp. Sometimes I hope my mom and dad are looking down and smiling at the kids being together. The three younger girls were so fun this evening.

Some things I enjoyed this week:

Last Sunday School lesson taught for the year. Cotton candy pink and blue sunrise colors on Monday. Beaver moon. Hot chocolate. Skinny 50. Froyo with the girls. Costa Vida salad Sadie made. The girls going to Lagoon one last time with their passes.

Antelope Island was quite enjoyable today. Saw more bison than people on the trail (I put on my brave pants and crossed a couple sketchy parts), the cloud reflection was pretty, the top of Frary Peak was great spot to snack and rest, and I got a new bird.

Started November off right in Capitol Reef.  We drove through small towns and over smashed pumpkins to find fall and pie.

I had such a lovely hike where we went to the Radio Tower.  Eating pie for second breakfast (because first breakfast was of course a breakfast burrito from Maverick in Richfield) at the Rim Overlook high above the yellow trees and road was awesome.  The smell coming from the Pinyon Pine was also awesome.
