Ambling Along on an Agreeable Autumn Afternoon

Today's blog title is brought to you by the letter "A"
(in honor of the 40th Anniversary of Sesame Street!)

Dallin is now 14 months old and finally big enough to
face forward in his car seat!
He likes the view.



On Friday we decided to take a late afternoon
walk along the Bonneville Shoreline Trail.

The weather was beautiful and warm.


Dad joined us!
And Yuki was thrilled to be included too.


Erin was soooo happy to be with Dad again.
She wanted us to take a picture of just the two of them.


A view of USU Campus with the sun almost ready to set
behind the Wellsvilles



Peek-a-boo Blue Eyes!


Some bright red berries (emphasizing our lack of botanical knowledge)



One easy way to get children to pose for a photo:
allow them to climb on rocks!



The return hike included some stunning orange clouds at sunset. Dad was trying to think of a poetic metaphor when Megan said, "it looks like grilled cheese." Guess it was dinner time. Erin was too tired to walk all the way back, but Megan was feeling energetic and carried her sister piggyback for a time. We were also treated to some deer on the trail, and Yuki's nearly-hopeless nose actually scared up a pheasant.

Actually it's a simile.
