The kids were out of school on Friday, so we spent the whole long weekend leaf peeping across northern Utah. We drove the Alpine Loop, hiked around a lake up in Cache Valley/Logan area, then hiked around some more lakes in the Uintahs. The boys will tell you it was too much car time since Mom banned the iPad halfway through (because of the bickering) but when pressed they MIGHT also confess they liked seeing new places, eating junk food, listening to things & singing songs in the car, “feeling peace” by the water, acting as creative directors for Mom’s pictures, and eating their fav foods at a diner. But only if you twist their arms. 😉 Dan & I love a good car ride (minus the fighting) and the golden aspens & pines were on point👌🏻 Enter, fall.
