A daunting task... this is only a quarter of the leaves that still have yet to fall. The leaves are massive in size though which makes it a wee bit easier to gather and bag.

The nightly ritual of 'I need a glass of water'....really, ....are you really all of a sudden so thirsty.?

Marty and I hired a babysitter and went on a gorgeous hike...it was nice to actually hike at a good pace and be free of stragglers....although we do love hiking with our kids too...
And then we ended on this note - hiking out of the canyon... Utah can produce some pretty scenery thats for sure...
We went to Logan last week to the 'pumpkin walk'...a tradition now of 3 years. It is a free event and pretty fun esp. cause we meet up with my brother and his family...
-Diane, Liam is sport'n the hat you knitted. thanks!
The little rugrats...before our ward party...the scary thing -Liam looks so natural with a 'stache'...

Merry and Lee came for some pumpkin carving...
The kids wanted nothing to do with it...they thought it was disgusting to pull out the guts and then we didn't really trust them with the knives so it ended up being a father- son competition.
Who won?

so fun to catch up with all your pictures, I don't get to see them otherwise. Loved the fall leaves, sunsets and kids. Loved, loved the duck shots...would it be bragging to say how darling my grandchildren are??
