Celebrating Fall

Yesterday we tried to make the most of the first day of fall.

We went up in the canyon and took our annual family photos. We got some shots that I am pretty happy with. It didn't take long (37 shots to be exact) before the kids were D-O-N-E, done.

I think this is my favorite.

We had brought some picnic stuff with us and some warm sweatshirts. After we were done taking pictures we built a fire, roasted hot dogs and had a nice dinner. It's amazing the difference a month makes. This time were were cold and last month were in shorts and t-shirts and still warm.

After dinner the kids decided to throw around a football. Paul wanted in on the action and ended up throwing the ball into the stream. Andrew was devastated. We all reacted quickly by running down stream to save his glow-in-the-dark BYU ball. Well it was way on the other side, totally out of reach even with my weenie roasting stick. Paul did what any great dad would do. He jumped in the stream and got the ball. He was in shoes, socks and jeans.

Luckily he had some crocs in the car but we didn't stay too much longer (just long enough to make s'mores) since it was in the 40's and he was in wet pants. He drove home in his underwear!

Yum!

Happy Fall Y'all.
