Fall Colors

The one thing I miss from Colorado is the fall, I don't miss the cold, but I miss the cooler weather of fall and all the colors. I'm glad I was able to enjoy a beautiful fall weekend in Utah and catch some of the colors. We first went to Bridal Veil Falls, but there wasn't a lot of colors, so we left there and went up the canyon a little farther and started to hike towards Stewart Falls. I did this hike this summer. Brittney was in a nice pair of sandals and I was in flip flops so we just hiked up enough to see some colors and some beautiful colors we did see.

Success, she made it without falling!

 

BYU Football

I was able to attend Parents Weekend up at BYU the last weekend in September. I got to Utah on a Friday and left on Sunday so it was a quick trip! I manged to get a football game in there, take the kids shopping see fall colors and have dinner with some family.
Here are the pics from the football game and yes, we won 48-0!!

It was a beautiful fall day, but did have to put my jacket on by the end of the game.

My nephew Kyle and his wife Nicky went to the game with us. It was a lot of fun visiting with them!

Three BYU Cougars

When we got back from the BYU game, Carolyn and Brent had just got home from the Spanish Fork HS game, their son Kirk(Dale's cousin) is the coach. I know their kids enjoy their BYU season tickets while they attend the HS games.
We forgive them for wearing red! Spanish Fork is also where Brent went to high school. 

Camp Rocks

A few weeks ago Makenzie was a volunteer for Camp Rocks. This is a 3 day overnight camp for special needs kids. A friend of ours organizes camps for these kids through out the year and all summer long. Makenzie has volunteered for theses camps in the summer as did Brittney when she wasn't working.

During camp rock Makenzie was assigned to a specific kid and was with him during the day and was his camp buddy. This camp is not only fun for these kids, but a lot of fun for all the volunteers as well. They get to swim, do archery, basically camp things. The fun thing they did was have a paint war. I almost think the volunteers enjoy this more than the kids.

Had pink hair for a few days until all the paint washed out

Sailing

A few weeks ago Jacob went sailing with the scouts from church and Dale was lucky enough to be an adult leader, I wish mom's could go on trips like these. They took out 4 sail boats in Galveston.

Here are some pictures Dale took, but he didn't get any of him.

Jacob so excited to get up early to go to Galveston
