Fall Fun

 One of my new favorite things to do during fall season is go hike Stewart Falls and see the leaves.  I first did this hike with Russ and McKay a few years ago when they came out to visit.  So Todd and I tried the hike again around the same time and loved seeing the rainbow of colors.

 Once we arrived at the falls, we pulled our cold pizza and had a great picnic! What a fun FHE!

Sister's Retreat

 Last weekend, I took a few days off and flew to Texas to visit family.  All my sisters were there plus my wonderful sister-in-law Jenny even got to come too.  I enjoyed playing with Bryce, Spencer, and Trevor too. 

 We ate, passed around, and tried lots of yummy Cheesecake Factory desserts.

 Afterwards, we took a lovely walk along the riverwalk.  I got a little wet in these fountions.

 We enjoyed outdoor walks.

 We enjoyed lots of fun with the aunts and nephews.

 As well as lots of shopping, jewelry, food, fun, and laughs.

 We enjoyed lunch in downtown Bryan and drove by the old Queens theater, a memory from Grandpa and Grandma Fuller.

 Plus, Jon showed up for pizza, soccer, games, and football.

It was a fantastic family weekend! Wait, there's more: I got to skype my parents too! Such a nice time to see everyone. We love you!

Visiting Grandma Shurtz

 While Grandma Shurtz was in town, we stopped at Uncle Mike and Aunt Lisa's home for a fun visit.  We swapped Alaskan cruise stories, heard about her birthday parties, and ate treats.  We laughed at the great stories told and enjoyed the memories shared about Grandpa Shurtz.

We love you Grandma!

Fisher Family Pictures

 A few weekends ago, we gathered everyone together at a park in Ogden.  Louise was our amazing photographer and still had time to run and include herself in the picture! Thank Louise!  Afterward, we had a little picnic.

Flaming Gorge part III

 We saw a lot of hawks while in the Flaming Gorge area.

 Chris had a great view of one.

 Saturday morning, we headed to Brownie Lake to try our luck at fishing again.  Once again, we found more beauty.

 Most of the time, Jill and I enjoyed the view.  We did watch Roger pull one in.

 I even did a few casts into the lake.

 Todd and I saw deer in this spot.

 Lafe enjoyed getting into Grandpa's tackle box.  We headed back to camp, ate lunch, and packed up.  Instead of going straight home, we decided to take the long way home.  We drove through the Sheep Creek Canyon Geographical Area. 

 We didn't see sheep, but did see goats.  Maybe they should change the name.

 The Tower rock formation

 We liked the different rock color layers with the blue sky background.

 We also drove the Mirror Lake Scenic Highway Drive, stopping at Mirror Lake for a dinner picnic. 

The scene at the lake was very welcoming, yet the mosquitoes were not.  So back in the car and headed home.  It was a wonderful trip!

Flaming Gorge part II-River Rafting

 Friday was river rafting day. After going down the Provo River a few weeks previous, I was converted to rafting.  Now after the Green River, I am ready to start planning the next trip!  We had three rafts: 1st-Roger, Jill, and a few kids 2nd-Mark, Louise, Me, and kids 3rd-Todd, Chris, Susan, and Carson

 Todd's favorite part is what he calls "pirating", he jumps ship, grabs someone from another ship, and pull them in.

 This is Todd attacking my raft.  He grabs me, I make sure to hand the paddle over, and fall in with him.

 It was pretty chilly water, but was fun to get wet!

 After a successful attack, Pirate Todd had a huge smile on his face as he returns to his ship.

 Chris swims over to "help" Hailey cool off in the river.

Todd takes a video as he jumps in again.

 We stopped to patch up a hole and take a swim, well some of us did, others were already wet.

 Back on the river again, this time I switch rafts and helped paddle.  Upon arrival, we enjoyed a picnic lunch and dried off in the sun.

The Green River provided a nice rafting trip with plenty of scenery as well as fun rapids.  When do we go back?
