Later that afternoon I was determined to go up and look at the fall leaves, and so of course I drug some friends up to Sundance with me.
Isn’t that so pretty?? I have some willing subjects too…
Aren’t they just darling? Unfortunately it started to get too dark…
We then headed up to Park City to meet up with some friends.
Followed by a viewing of the new Footloose…awesome.
Definitely a fun Saturday! I just love fall activities. I KNOW there is a lot more where that came from.
Speaking of fall…today I made some healthy Potato Corn Chowder and some Homemade Wheat Bread for my friends for dinner, and I forgot to take pics…dang it. I was really in the mood for something fall-ish, and it hit the spot. Try it if you need a dinner idea for this week!
Are you seeing seasonal changes and loving it? I hope so! So pretty!
Don’t forget…tonight is your last chance to enter the October Sickeningly Sick Music Mix Giveaway!
Ah yes, fall is a sigh of relief but in the back of my mind I’m dreading the winter to come. At least it means apple cider and hot chocolate and cozy sweaters and boots.
… and snow tires (!)
Hi
I have been following your blog for about 5 months now and it has been just what I needed. I have already lost close to 20 LBS and plan to keep going. There are some days when I just can’t go for a run outside or to the gym, so what would a you recommend for a good treadmill under $1000?
