I Had Forgotten that Leaves Change Color

What an amazing time to visit Utah.

We had a wonderful time visiting family and enjoyed a hike up Bridal Veil Falls, a visit to Grandpa and Grandma's Cabin, and an evening at Thanksgiving Point. We are counting down the days until we can visit again.

Thanksgiving Point

We spent an evening at Thanksgiving Point in Lehi. Besides getting completely lost in the corn maze and ending up back at the entrance we had a great adventure. It was nice to leave the triple digit weather and actually enjoy the warmth of the campfires. It was definitely jacket weather. Of course I packed a jacket for everyone but forgot mine. It reminds me of Sunday mornings when all the children look great for church but I've spent so much time getting them ready I show up looking bedraggled and careworn.

I've Caved

Yes, I have caved into peer pressure.
I have finally joined the blogging community.

I am an utter failure at journaling (unless 'to do' lists and calendars count as journaling). I think that perhaps with added pressure from outside I can actually keep a record of some events in our lives. Then I will not have to look blankly at my children when they ask, "when did I?" or "what was I like?".

As an added benefit, I now have a place to post all of the amazing pictures our exorbitantly expensive camera takes.
