Fall is almost here! Last year at this time it was still summer but there is orange and red everywhere and I am ready to make stew and apple crisp. The kids started school. Collin is in 8th grade and Grace is in 5th. When I was in 8th we lived in Finland and when I was in 5th we lived half the year in Denmark so it is interesting to remember being that old and wondering what they will experience and remember.
We had quite an eventful Labor Day. We had our usual Labor Day breakfast with my moms side of the family. Kind of a small crowd this year but it was up the canyon and at one of my favorite spots up American Fork Canyon - Mutual Dell, or "The Dell".
My sister Sarah and her family and our family went to Sundance and rode the ski lift up to the top:
It was so beautiful!
We took a hike around the mountain which had so much different scenery:
And then rode down which was more fun than going up:
Grace has had a great month. She is again a mother of a bunny - Speckles, which makes her life complete. We just hope he isn't a grumpy bunny all of the time and will eventually stop biting, scratching and growling.
It is harvest time and it is so nice to live by my dad who has a huge garden and shares with us. He brought us 3 bushels of corn to "put up":
We got 22 bags of Ambrosia corn - the best we've ever tried.
He also brought us 3 1/2 bushels of pears, and a bushel of apples. Our food dehydrator has been working nonstop!
