Happy Halloween

Happy Halloween! And yes, that is my baby bump under that dress poof :).

Muddy Motorcycle Riding

The boys went on a boys motorcycle riding trip after a few days of rain, so of course, all the boys got stuck at least once, and even flipped a bike.  Here are some of their muddy highlights.

Pumpkins And Corn

There isn’t much that is better than a corn pit :).

And of course, we had to pick out pumpkins to carve with my nephew.

Crest Trail Mountain Biking

For those of you who like mountain biking, there are great places in Salt Lake to mountain bike, but with so many people in Salt Lake, the trails are often a bit busy.  Bade, his friends and a few siblings were able to go mountain biking on the Crest Trail up Millcreek.

Great Basin National Park

Great Basin National Park is one of the least visited National Parks, one of the smallest National Parks, and the quietest National Park.  This means that you get many of the lakes and hikes nearly to yourself. Bade and I were fortunate enough to also get the tail end of the fall foliage on our hikes.

Bade fit in some fishing at Cave Lake just outside Ely.  They were smaller fish than what Bade normally catches, but it was fun to be there since there were ducks, geese, and even ospreys swooping down and catching fish right in front of us.

Gandy Warm Springs was the highlight to this trip.  It is a bit (30 miles) of a drive up a dirt road, but so worth it.  Don’t think of this as a hot spring…it is only slightly warm, meaning the water is around 80 degrees, but the cool part is that this oasis in the desert has its own cave complete with stalactites and even fish swimming through it.  The cave goes back surprisingly far so you need to have flashlights.  We brought goggles, and put our dollar store flash lights in Ziploc bags so we could look at the fish under water in the cave.
