And it's coming to an end, which makes me sad. I am particularly sad to see the 2010 fall season come to an end because it has been amazing. The colors were stunning this year.
Our Fall Extravaganza began when we went on our second annual tram ride at Sundance between the morning and afternoon session of Conference on October 2nd.
It was unseasonably warm this year. Last year we were all bundled up and huddled together under blankets, but this year we didn't even need jackets.
We invited my parents to join us this year, and they did. And since Mindy was staying at my parents house that weekend, she joined us too. As well as her adorable girls.
The leaves were pretty, but we were told that the colors were more vibrant the week before. They also told us the same thing last year. And we still saw a lot of green.
We got off at the top to eat some sandwiches, carrot sticks and granola bars. Too bad we left our waters in the car. I'm quite sure that was Brian's fault ;o) And then a bee flew into Brian's mouth. No kidding. Serves him right for not bringing the water.
This next picture is a testament to how hard it is to take a decent picture of a group of kids. I had thirteen shots to choose from and this is the best I got...
And then back down we went.
And even though we didn't see the 'peak', the weather was perfect, the company was fantastic, and the scenery was beautiful. Speaking of beauty, it doesn't get any better than this -
Next up, a trip to Missouri (more on that later), with the hope of seeing an autumn 'show'. I hadn't ever been east of Colorado and I was quite excited at the prospect of seeing some amazing fall colors. However, we were a little disappointed. There was literally one picture-worthy tree in Kirksville.
So, we missed the 'peak' at Sundance and there was no 'show' in Missouri. However, I have never witnessed such beautiful fall leaves in the Salt Lake Valley as I did this year. And it went on for weeks! Oh, it made me so happy to get in the car and drive or just walk around and look at all the colors. Or to simply look out my front window.
And now the trees are almost bare and we are headed for some very cold, snowy days. But, it was fun while it lasted.

Oh, how I miss that warm weather! That area looks so beautiful...we'll have to try that sometime, I don't think I've ever been to Sundance.
And you are so right, taking a {good} group picture of littles is quite the task! :)
I forgot to tell you that things sure changed after you left. We did get a lot of color and it was pretty.
