Birthdays and Saturdays

Last Saturday, Andrew celebrated his 9th birthday at a place called Classic Fun Center.  A couple friends from school joined us for the afternoon party, with skating, scooters, arcade games, and fun.  It was a pretty good time.

The rest of the week was busy with school and work.  I was helping to cover for a couple nurses on vacation, so I kept extra busy, which should make for a nice paycheck.  Friday night, Jake and I even snuck out for a quick dinner date.  

Saturday, after some much-needed cleaning around the house, we grabbed our water bottles and headed for the hills!  We explored the Alta area, which we had not been to yet.  Very pretty- as you can see some of the leaves are starting to turn.  

A great view, windows down and Dave Matthews Band on the radio...what could be better?

(Well, maybe less arguing from the back seat.)

We covered about a mile of a trail, then stopped to play in the creek for a while.

Good practice for Dave, who is going to spend four days away at Camp Perkins with his class in a couple weeks! 

Fall is my favorite time of year, so I am loving this weather lately!
