a little time alone

ned and i took advantage of a child-free afternoon and went on a hike up in the hills above slc. it was a beautiful fall day and the weather was perfect. we enjoyed talking alone without interruption and taking in the beauty of the world around us! i love being outdoors, it really invigorates me and helps me find my center.

enjoying beautiful fall

one of our favorite family activities is going on walks or hikes in the beautiful mountains wherever we are living. i especially enjoy hiking when the fall leaves are in color. about 2 sundays ago, we left hunter home sick in bed to go and take this walk in the hills around slc. it was in full fall color and smelled magnificent. yummy! i love the smell of fall. we had a wonderful time and the girls enjoyed exploring the secret trails in the trees.
