Fall Hike

Before it got too cold Aaron and I went with my family on a hike. We did it the fun way: we drove up to the top in one car and left another car at the bottom. So we started our journey through the Butterfield canyon.
Aaron leads the way as we follow his behind:)
Aaron had fun taking some pictures. We held Ryanns hands so they wouldn't get too cold.
Here we are walking along the trail. This is by one of several cars down in the ravine. It's tradition when we go on this hike to hit one of the cars with rocks. It's simple fun!
We all had to enjoy a break with some scenery.
The leaves had all fallen and filled the trail with their light brown color. It was pretty. The only green was from the pine. Can you spot the red hoodie!
If you see our blog often then you know Aaron always has to do something crazy for fun. One of his favorite things to do in kindergarten was to balance on the board they had in the classroom. It's good to know he hasn't grown out of having fun!
Everyone is looking at Aaron walking over the trail. Boston has his cute little dinosaur beenie onHe's crazy.
I stole the camera from Aaron! Say hello! It started to get colder. If you can't tell what that white stuff is on the ground that is snow, you'll see a lot of it next week!
We ended the hike by having a fire that Aaron and Dave started with a spark and some bug repellent spray. We cooked up some s'mores, starbursts, twinkies (which didn't work very well). Ryan found a rock that she picked up and said, "look a hat rock!" So I said, "wow, let me get a picture. That's awesome!" She was so proud. It was great to be in the mountains, they are so beautiful. We hope to spend more time in the great outdoors next year!

Surprise Date

Aaron and I had to go pick up my car because we had to get it fixed. I hate when cars don't work like they should. So I wasn't too happy about having to pay another thousand to get it fixed. Aaron and I had a laugh as we were driving: We decided that putting a sign on the side of an old Suburban to advertise a limousine service wasn't the best idea, so we got a picture for fun.
Another thing that Aaron and I hate is those gravel trucks that get on the freeway with more rocks flying on the road than they have as their load. We got hit by about ten rocks by this lame truck so we got a picture so that we could scare him. Can you read his license plate number? The last time we got stuck behind one of these trucks we lost a headlight and had several rock chips everywhere. Watch out for these guys!!
Anyways, the day so far was very lame. We had to drive back home from the mechanic. Aaron had me follow him to go home. I was surprised to get off of the Lehi exit. Aaron knew I was not happy and so we went to Thanksgiving point and watched a movie. That made me happy.
After the movie we got some icecream. Aaron really likes rasberry sorbet!
mmmm, and I got smooth chocolate!
We had fun sitting and talking.
Later, we went on a walk around the grounds. Thanksgiving Point is beautiful!

They had glassblowing classes every week. There were a lot of blown glass art pieces in the gardens. They are so fun. We had a great time!

Aaron's Birthday

The Reimschiissel's had a party for Aaron on Sunday before his birthday. Look at that cake!!
Okay Aaron, now smile for the camera!!
Now, blow out the candles and make a wish!! Look how helpful:)Aaron turned 25 on October 23th. We went to the Star of India restaurant the night before, it's one of our favorites.

Before Aaron woke up I decorated the living room for his birthday. I had his presents ready to open, he was excited!He was most excited about his new journal.Later that night, we ate at Golden coral with mom and dad. The waiters sang him happy birthday and he got a rootbeer float with a candle to blow out:)
