The Perfect Fall Weekend!!

Dennis and I took a ride up Log Canyon ... and the pictures don't do it justice ... it was absolutely amazing ... the perfect weekend to be 'leaf peekers'. It was also a warm day ... not exactly fall cool, but still beautiful.

The maples are the red ones and they turn first, but in the canyon up higher we found these brilliant quakes and their bright yellow colors. As the cold nights come the quakies will continue to change. We love fall weather!

I couldn't resist a picture of all the quakies ... it was a beautiful ride.

Just to prove we were there ... here is Dennis waiting while I took a picture. We enjoyed staying out at the property Friday night and then we trailer-ed the quads over to Log Canyon. (I had hurt my back and so we were being very cautious about how much I rode - we made it a modest ride, but a beautiful one!)

A Few More Fall Pictures ...

A unique shaped rock formation ... Can you see the Momma Bear turned around to speak to her little cubs? That is what we saw as we were coming down Log Canyon ... cute isn't it????

Dennis thought this one looked like a small version of the bear at California Adventure. Use your imagination.

Pretty cool looking trees ... love the pine in the middle of the quakies!!

One last look at the canyon as we were leaving.

Breakfast at Grandpa and Grandma's!

Mike and Jodi and their boys were here for the long weekend ... and for the BYU football game ... so we decided to have a family breakfast on Monday (Labor Day) before they left to go back to Henderson, NV. It was fun to get them all together. Diane came over and helped us get lots of pancakes ready ... and Dennis cooked 5#'s of yummy bacon!

Here's the cousins getting to spend a little time together and eating a great breakfast!! (Carter, Tanner, Bailey, Peyton and Kelly)

The boys ... Nathan, McKay, Talmage and Dallin ... and they all had 'several' waffles ... love a good breakfast!!

Building a Trail on the Property!

When we have the grandkids out to the property they want to ride the 4-wheelers ... (of course!) ... and we decided that we would build a little 'quad trail' for them to ride on so they can stay off the roads. The problem was we needed to clear some branches so it could be done. David and Jen came out with her kids and we all worked on the project. (Above: Nathan, Tyler, Jacob and David clearing the trail)

We also had to dig cactus that was growing in the trail ... another big project. (Above: David, Dennis, Nathan, Kelly and Jen are digging the nasty stuff!!)

Jacob especially LOVED the trail ... I think he drove around it at least 12 times!! (It is about .2 of a mile! Short and sweet!!) His legs almost don't reach the floor boards ... but we have them drive it in LOW gear so they can keep in control better. It was a good project.

Here is Dennis going through the trees trying out the fun new trail. It gets a little dusty in a few places ... so maybe in the future we will add a little gravel to help with that problem!
