It's Fall

On Thursday, my mom and I took the boys on a drive up the canyon to look at the leaves. It was the perfect day to go: 75, blue skies and amazing colors. We oohed and awed through Little Cottonwood and Mill Creek canyons and I thought "Well, here is something I missed while in Virginia - vibrant fall colors, crisp air and the canyons." Uh, huh. That was Thursday! Today is rainy and cold - with a high of 50 and a chance of snow in the SLC valley. Snow?! I think the high in Chesapeake is supposed to be 80. I have a feeling that my first winter back will be an interesting one. The boys are going to love it, though. We went almost to the top of Mill Creek and there were patches of snow, and Gabe was so excited he could hardly stand it! He and my mom had a little snowball fight and cute Dylan kept asking "What's dis, mom?" When I replied that it was snow he said "Huh?", as though he didn't quite get it or believe it. My thoughts exactly, kiddo!

Fall colors and snow. Two things I definitely miss!

Yes, they were pretty fun to see after so long. And sorry to hear it is son hot there still, sheesh! But, get this - it DID snow on Saturday! None of it stuck, because it rained first, but it snowed for two hours, at least. And then we did yard work yesterday - typical Utah Fall! Wish you were here to enjoy it!
