Backyard fun

It was such a nice evening and I decided to make everyone smile for pictures.  That is all.

Head for the Hills

The lovely fall weather demanded outdoor activities.  We made a stop by the local pumpkin patch and then headed for the mountains.  We intended to drive the Alpine loop, but only made it as far as Provo Canyon for a picnic and then to the base of the Y.  It was an ABSOLUTELY BEAUTIFUL day!

Wizard of Oz

 

My mission companion, Kim Stephenson was recently Dorothy in a production of "The Wizard of Oz.  I went up to Salt Lake with Emily, Caitlyn, and my friend Ben to see her and it was so fun- she did a fantastic job!
