 Ended September with a fall hike with a good view from the Ridge Trail.

September 29, 2020

 It's nice when Ry is home in the evening.  Too bad it doesn't happen very often.

September 28, 2020

Still thinking about yesterday when Rylie showed Mason "long thumb" for the first time and he definitely laughed out loud.

Some September goods:

Sidewalk chalk. 

Yellow and orange. 

Finishing Madame Secretary TV series. 

Mornings out exercising the dog (and usually me). 

Road trips! Logan and Arches. 

Going to church. 

A little rain - it’s been so long since we’ve had any rain. 

Scriptures in the morning. 

Mr Rogers. (Listened to a biography of him.)

XC races - and watching Kenz coach. 

Good Netflix film - Enola Holmes

September 24, 2020

 Fall hike day complete with yellow leaves and moose!

Covid negative for Ry. But quarantine was good for her. Gave her a much needed break. And gave her time to apply for college. Which is totally crazy.

 Two good talks I read this week that go along with 3 Nephi 11 (which is an amazing chapter). 

1. Elder Brian Ashton - The Doctrine of Christ - October 2016

2. President Ezra Taft Benson - The Savior’s Visit to America - April 1987

Also - had another good Sunday afternoon visit with my parents in their backyard.

Good fall hike with Darren and Baylie. We had a little wind, some rain, a bit of fall color, and tons of people driving the canyon. Luckily they were not on our trail.

September 16, 2020

 Helped out with an XC meet at CVHS. Kenz is a great coach.

September 14, 2020

We spent the evening at Kenz and Tanner’s. They bought pizza and then we watched Mulan in their new basement. So enjoyable!

 Great runaway with D to Arches. Things to remember:

Turret Arch at sunset. 

Darren getting his green chili burger. 

Friendlier people in the morning. 

Trail across the fins. 

Double O from the other side is so cool!

“Money back guarantee.”

Tuna sandwiches by the shade of the car. 

Tapestry and broken arch. 

Secret campground parking spot. 

Solo Park Avenue hike. 

Kenz calling it “Sasquatch Lane.”

Sherald’s burger and fries zucchini. 

September 11, 2020

 Sunset in Arches is always a good choice. 

(I just like this pic that I took as the sun was going down - even though it doesn't look like the sun is going down.  The top pic was taken maybe 30 minutes later.)

 Good Labor Day. It started with a hike to Sunset Peak and ended with ice cream at Handel’s.

I really enjoyed the hike with D (and Jared Keizer and son).  Meadows and trees were pretty. It was a bit smoky from fires. We met K and T for ice cream and enjoyed eating and chatting. I went with coconut caramel and it was yummy.

Road trip to Logan.  My thoughts:

Watching lame shows in hotel rooms is the best. 

I’m pretty sure Cam could be a world traveler. She is so organized and never forgets anything. 

Darren - “Hey girls. I didn’t even pack my hiking shoes.  That’s love.”

Only needed about 10 minutes at the art museum. But way cool wooden shoe music display. 

Mountain man sculpture was hardest to find but was the best.

Utah state has good grass. 

Also good ice cream. 

I loved our game of bocce ball on campus. And playing oogla frisbee ball thing. Way fun!

Bear Lake was 90 minutes well spent. “ This looks like somewhere sting rays might be.” - Rylie

When we texted Kenz about Bear Lake - “ Did you get shakes? Or just covid?“ :)

Fredrico’s pizza was pretty much the 3 stars yelp said. 

Hotel pool for the win.

Sadie and Jessie have been having lots of fun lately. Two places you might find them are - in the hammocks or on their bikes. 

September 2, 2020

Went to watch Kenz Coach CVHS XC. So fun. And their girl took first and their boy took first. It’s way less stressful when it’s your kid coaching and not your kid running. :).

September 1, 2020

Good choice for dinner with D and Sadie by grabbing Zupas and eating at a park. Ry and Cam were off at work.
