We've tried to fit in a couple trips up the canyon before it's too cold. The leaves are starting to change and it's beautiful. I would encourage everyone to get out this week and enjoy some great outdoors!
We went last weekend up Little Cottonwood Canyon with the Goodrich clan (we missed you Brett and Matt!). I think we were a little crazy packing up dinner and all the kids in the pouring-down rain but that made it more spontaneous and fun! April got some fried chicken and the rest of us pitched in with chips, drinks, fruit, and a pasta salad.
We spent most of the time warming up around the warm fire that Gene and Justin built.
Camille, Rachelle, and I were impressed at how fast they got the fire going while it was raining. It took us much longer when we went camping.
After our bellies got full of food along with s'mores and cookies, it was fun to just talk and laugh around the fire. The kids got tossed in the blanket
and Camille, Rachelle, and Gene showed us the "Goodrich theme song." (I didn't know such a thing existed!)
Molly had so much fun that she requested to go to the mountains again the next day. Since it was one of those lazy Sunday afternoons, we decided to take a drive up Provo Canyon. We parked somewhere and started walking up a paved trail until we arrived at Bridal Veil Falls.
This was as far as we got because Molly decided that she wanted to play in the water. The water was so cold but she didn't seem to mind!
We walked across the rocks to try to get some pictures.
The only thing that got Molly out of the water was the promise of homemade ice cream when we got home. 
Mmm, did somebody say ice cream?
