Kolab Canyon drive

We decided on a whim after we packed up from camping in Zion that we would drive up and see Kolab Canyon. We didn't get out very much because it is a much higher elevation and it was cold. I didn't dress the kids for the cold because we didn't decide to go up until after we were on our way home.



The Aspens had almost lost all of there leaves except for this patch in the middle of this field. I most certainly did not jump a fence to get a better picture of them so don't tell the owner of the land:)






Kymbell in her brothers jacket since they didn't want to get out of the truck.





I think this picture was taken about half way up and you can see how high we already were.

Halloween

Here are the pictures of them on Halloween. I have a hard time getting good pictures when it is just me taking them and trying to keep everybody in place. Kyle had to work so we spent our time at a friends house, but my boys took off with the bigger kid crowds so I have no pictures of them trick or treating. The boys were ninjas and I made the girls costumes and they were fairies.

Zion Fall Camping!!!

I decided that I wanted to get on last camping trip in before it started snowing and was to cold for us to go to Zion. We had a good time, but it was definitely the coolest weather we have ever had there. It was amazing seeing all the fall colors and driving up into Kolab Canyons which was our first time. There aren't many pictures of the boys it seems, but we slow them down so they just take off without us.
Above is the river we usually go hiking in, but to cold to even think about this trip.
The beautiful trees were still changing when we went and I could not believe the pretty pink.

Kadence and Konner in our hammock. Look at her crazy hair.


A nice couple offered to take a picture of all of us together. We were pleased with the picture because it didn't look like he got us in the picture the way he held the camera.
Daddy and Kadence.
My girl showing me some love.
Kymbell taking a break from walking. She must have gotten tired from me carrying her on my back.
Oh wait! She decided to take a look at the picture to see if she knew anybody in it.

The girls fighting over who gets to drink out of the camelbak. Never mind there was another one in the pack next to them.
Kyle and I goofing off.

This is the mountain that is right above our campsite.
The sun setting on the mountain. It was very pretty on the red mountain.
