Fall Camping Weekend

We'd been itching to go camping again and love camping in the fall because of the fall colors in the mountains. We decided to head up to one of our favorite spots at the beginning of October. However, there wasn't much color and we realized it was the Utah fall colors that we really miss. Oh well. We still had a nice relaxing weekend together.

Scott begged for an early birthday present and I knew just the right one to give him. He was so excited to finally get his own Calvin and Hobbes comic book.

Another avid Calvin and Hobbes reader.

Now all three boys have their own books and spend many hours reading and rereading them over and over again.

Noah used to HATE reading until now. His reading has really come along in 1st grade and now he's happy to sit and read to Daddy.

Scott often has his nose in a book.

Elizabeth relaxing after an awesome run through the mountains. The boys rode their bikes and mom and dad ran. Loved it!!!

Steve fell asleep in his chair as usual.

Joshua read his Calvin and Hobbes book to me, complete with faces and sound effects. So cute.

Noah found a bottle of fish bait and got creative with it.

We went hiking on the Discovery Trail. It was beautiful and quiet.

There were educational sign posts along the way.

The boys loved this walkway.

Noah loved this big pine cone.

The kids felt the need to get as close to the water as possible, of course.

Joshua. Isn't he cute?

Joshua wanted to be sure and have his turn to pose for the camera on this particular spot.

Noah insisted on having his picture taken on this particular spot. I was happy to oblige. I love pictures!
