Pretty Utah

After we dropped Elder Criswell off at the MTC we decided to take the REALLY long way home... it was a BEAUTIFUL drive through the Provo Canyon, all the way around to Park City... the fall colors were gorgeous... we stopped by a pretty lake and went on a little hike. Jaxon absolutely LOVED it. We also couldn't just drive through Park City, so we stopped for some shopping at the Tanger Outlets- although I LOVE shopping there, and we always seem to find some awesome deals, ie; Nike, Columbia, Childrens Place, etc... It is NOT all that it's cracked up to be. There are better outlets in California... but I guess when you live in Logan, Utah, shopping in Park City can be pretty exciting :)

 This kind of reminded me of Washington State...

but I still think Washington beats Utah on it's beauty!! Utah is more of a "pretty desert", Washington is just always GREEN and always pretty! I miss seeing Mt. Rainier too- the most beautiful mountain I've ever seen, and I got to look at it every day for a year!

But Utah's fall is gorgeous!
