Fall Break

Instead of heading to a nice warm sunny place for Fall Break we enjoyed a nice weekend in Logan.  Darren took Tyler and Ella out on a good bike ride along the Bonneville shore line trail.  It was his cool down after a good ride.  We met him at Lundstrom park where Darren and I used to hang out when we were dating.   

Tyler enjoyed taking pictures of trees and hikes this trip.  

Ella loves to rake leaves. I read a magazine outside with a  cozy blanket around (while siting by the car waiting for Abby to wake up from her car seat nap). Tyler played Angry Birds inside. but Ella..  She raked up Grandmas leaves but there just wasn't enough.  She found a bucket and started collecting leaves from the neighbors yards.  Pretty soon her pile was monstrous.  The neighbor boys came running over to help jump in them.  

We also went for a short hike on the  Jardin Juniper trail.  Darren proposed to me on a log along this trail on December 8, 2000.  Now we hiked along it with three kids in tow! 

Then we drove back to Old Ephraim's Grave.  9 miles on a bumpy dirt road wasn't easy.  But it was cool to finally get back there to see it.  It was a great drive.  We spent most of the weekend with Grandma and Grandpa Balls, we are sure glad they could join on us our "vacation".
