Going "to the mountains!"

One thing about living in a brand new subdivision is that there aren't any mature trees, so sometimes I feel like we're missing out on the beautiful fall leaves.  I bought the makings for s'mores at the beginning of September, hoping that we would find an evening to go up a local canyon and enjoy the leaves.  We finally headed up "to the mountains" (as Benson puts it) after General Conference on the first Sunday in October.  We found a perfect little picnic area and roasted hot dogs and marshmallows.  The kids loved it!



The old smoke-in-the-eyes trick...we couldn't get a good picture of Benson here...



After our little picnic, we drove farther into the canyon to get a good view of the fall colors.  The sun was setting, but it was still beautiful!


Happy Fall!

Very fun! We used to take a lot of Sunday drives in the various canyons when I was growing up. There are plenty of leaves here, but not mountains :)
