I wasn't entirely convinced summer was over until this last weekend.

Because we have a few family birthdays in October, we headed up to Midway this weekend to celebrate all the October birthdays in one shot. Jamison's big sister and her husband live up there. Since our new house is so close to the entrance of Big Cottonwood Canyon, we decided that we would take the Guardsmans Pass way to get there, instead of the freeway. The drive was insanely beautiful.  This is the best time of year to do that drive because all the leaves are changing and are so vibrant.  If you have a free afternoon in the next few weeks drive up Big Cottonwood through Guardsmans Pass, stop at the Homestead and get some delicious fudge, and then walk around the scare crow festival going on on the front lawn of the Homestead. I mean, can you think of a better way to spend an October day?
 The yellow was SO bright.

nephews Andrew and Gage brought up their skateboards and longboard.

 Cohen was loving standing on the front of the longboard.
 Gage and Chase have a race.
 This is the view coming out of the canyon into Midway. Gorgeous.
 Wahoo!

those pictures of the canyon made me really homesick.
