Happy Fall (Now that it's pretty much over...)!

A few weeks ago, the weather was gorgeous and sunny, and knowing that according to the forecast, it wasn't going to last much longer (and it didn't -- it's now COLD and snowy in Utah ... I'm so not ready for this!), we knew we needed to take advantage and get out for our family fall picnic. So we grabbed our "finger-lickin' good" meal to-go and headed for the canyon. The leaves were pretty much done with changing color by that point, and most were on the ground, but we were able to get a few pretty shots and had a wonderful time together.

After dinner, the leaves were just too tempting, so we had to

make some piles and jump in them ...

And of course, throw them at each other!

Eliot had a great time in the leaves. His favorite part was building "dinosaur nests," aka leaf piles (we're just a little into "Dinosaur Train" around here these days ...).

We walked (or in Eliot's case, rode) the path to Bridal Veil Falls,

And enjoyed the beautiful scenery of Provo Canyon.

And naturally, if there are rocks and water, throwing has to be involved!

Goodbye for now, Fall fun ... we'll do it again next year!
