Snow Basin and poop.

I just couldn't stand it anymore.  It was such wonderful weather and the leaves were changing and we were all just sitting inside!  Wasting away the lovely autumn air.  So I rounded up the whole family and headed up the mountains. 

It was one of those weird random cold days (that were followed with 75 degree days.)  As always, I'm trying to take some photos of my kids and then Hali decided she needed one like Aiko too.

Obviously, it's not near as cute.  Plus, then, she stepped in dog poop, in chacos.   I laughed, she totally deserved it, mocking my baby.

Derek also hates when I take photos.  I know, I know, but I just want to capture all the wonderful moments, which is ALL the time.  Some times, I realize that I just need to store the precious moments in my mind. 

 

Which is hard, because I feel like brain has been MIA for quite some time. 

A forgotten meadow. A Yankee Meadow.

I know we've mentioned it numerous times, but we really miss the red mountains.  While in Cedar, we decided to go for a Sunday drive up the canyon.  

Most of these shots were taken while driving...so they aren't super clear, but really, who couldn't love these colors?

The drive up to Yankee Meadow goes from desert, the pines, to red, to blue.  

The clouds were exceptionally lovely that day too. 

By the time we got to the Reservoir, it was COLD!  Like 50 degrees cold and we were not prepared for the wind and mud.  We literally got out, took a few photos and then ran back in.  There were some campers nearby who started playing the harmonica by the fire.  It would have been fun to sit and listen.  Nonetheless, it was totally worth the whole drive, even if we were there less than 5 minutes.  

Thought you would like my test shot.
