Reflecting on the week we realized just how little we’ve been together as a family and how worn out we were (mostly Natalie).  We decided our family needed a low-key outing so we could reconnect a little bit.  So, we headed up American Fork Canyon for a picnic dinner and then we made s’mores over a fire.  The canyon was beautiful with the autum leaves changing and a few fallen leaves swirling across the road.  The temperature was just perfect too; just a hint of crisp, cool air letting us know that Fall has begun and Summer is definitely over.  We were the only people in the camping/picnic area and it was good for everybody to forget about scool, work, church, etc. and just relax.  I’m just thankful for wonderful kids and the good memories we made today.
