Happy Fall Y'all!

Yes! I finally got my drive up the Alpine loop. I look forward to this all year long and this year we almost missed it. The weather forecasters are predicting a cold end to this week which means most of leaves up high will be gone. So I was able to convince Chad to not have any appointments after church and to sneak away with me and the kids to go see the beautiful leaves. What a wonderful time we had!

I love that we are so blessed to have this beauty just 20 minutes from our home! We keep reminding the kids how lucky they are!!!
We stopped at Aspen Grove, one of our very favorite places and got some beautiful pictures of all of the colors.

Seriously look how beautiful the scenery is. I love my husband and my great family. Oh I just love this time of year!!!
We took my mom along with us too.
(remember as you see these pictures that
I am 7 months pregnant and HUGE)

The kids were thrilled to have all of this time with their dad. This is a rare occasion, especially on a Sunday!

What a great way to end a great day! Max didn't care much about the leaves but was thrilled
when he spied this tractor!

Happy Fall Y'all!

Thank you so much for the pictures. Aspen Grove is such a special place for our family. I have always wanted to see what fall and winter looked like up there. I have often though that our family would go to utah this time of year just to ckeck it out. SO THANKS. You saved us a trip. We are on our way to Nauvoo to check out fall up there. I will do a post.
