Fabulous Fall

I won't lie, I have very much enjoyed the fact that this fall has still felt like summer, oh endless summer, but I do love fall. If it weren't that winter were right behind it, I would love it even more.

My favorite things about fall:
- Slightly cooler weather so you don't feel like you are going to melt when you spend the day outside
- Fresh peaches!
- Fresh pears
- Farmer's Market
- Picking things from my garden
- Fall colors
- Pretty canyon drives
- Playing in the leaves

Last weekend, we had a day filled with my favorite fall things. After the Stake baptism, I went to Farmer's market and stocked up on fresh peaches. I then came home and we packed a lunch and headed up Nebo Loop. We had never been up there before, so Jared did a little search for a good trail that that his pregnant wife could hike without dying and that an 18 month old would survive. He found the Grotto Trail. It was an easy hike up to a small waterfall, which was perfect. Kenzie was in heaven throwing rocks into the pool of water. We then drove up to a semi hidden lake (I thought it was hidden, but apparently it is pretty well known because there were a bunch of people there). We stopped just before the lake to play in the leaves and take some pictures.

Anyway, that is a lot of information about our adventure just so I can post these pictures... :)

Don't really love how ghetto I look here, but the rest of the fam is cute!

Also on Saturday, Jared finished our cold storage shelves! Yeah! They turned out great. It is so nice to see what we actually have in our food storage rather than just see stacked up grocery bags. Here is his finished product, prior to clean up and shelf stocking of course.
