Pumpkin Walk

 I've really missed the Pumpkin Walk the last couple of years, so I was super pumped to be able to go again this year with Karlton's family for the 40th anniversary! We saw Taylor Swift, Spiderman, Moana, Magic Tree House, Trolls, Sound of Music and so much more!






























Fall Boat Ride

 We had to get a beautiful fall ride in before we had to take our boat out of the marina. We've had a gorgeous fall!

Caineville

 We had a fun camp with our local motorcycle friends. We rode into Capitol Reef and saw the Temple of the Sun and Temple of the Moon and the Glass Mountain. The kids and moms had fun beading with me, and we also made some tie dye dirt shirts. It was a windy, dirty camp, and we had rain the last night. It was pretty greasy getting out of there, but we made it. We listened to conference on the way home and saw some fresh snow up in the mountains.









Bar 10 Ranch

 We had the super fun opportunity to go on a UTMA side by side ride to the Grand Canyon. We rode from St George to the Bar 10 Ranch, a working cattle ranch close to the Grand Canyon that has a lodge. The Bar 10 was just delightful! We stayed on a Conestoga wagon, and they cooked every meal. Everything we ate was delicious! We went on some fun rides, saw lots of cool geology and a variety of landscapes. We saw a tarantula on the trail, and a lot of lizards and desert flowers. One machine in our group broke down on the way in. Their axle broke and they lost a wheel. On the way back out, Wes and I went to help them get it going. The Grand Canyon is breathtaking and deep! The overlooks we went to were pristine, there was no one else there but our group, and that was cool. Such a great trip! Thanks UTMA!
