Trails 2 Travel

 Also for stake conference I decided I'd much rather have a trip to the wilderness. So Ty and I took a trip up the Alpine Loop to try out the Stewart Fall trail which I've heard isn't too bad. We timed it so great as the leaves in the valley were changing for Fall. It was so beautiful!  The trail was pretty easy, mostly soft packed dirt and only a few steeper parts. My favorite part on the way there is where you walk through a grove of short trees with white trunks. Kind of felt like a fantasy world.  The Falls were so beautiful! Once we'd hiked down to the bottom we climbed up to the first tier of the waterfall which is where we are left. Ollie had a blast especially when he was off the leash!  We let him roam for a little while and even let him play with another dog that was there. I didn't want him following here in case he was dumb enough to go over the waterfall. The pools were nice and cool and fun to walk around.  Tyler climbed up even h

 Ok so this isn't a new trip or anything. These are pictures that we finally got from our friends from our trip to Capitol Reef to do Sulfur Creek. Looking at these pictures makes me remember how awesome that hike way! This log is actually pretty high above the (not so deep) flow of water since there's a waterfall right there.We felt like Peter Pan in Neverland to be honest. Soo cool!  This is the first waterfall and we had a ton of fun playing at the base of it and crawling in those cracks of rock! It was slimy and cold but sure made for cool pictures.  People think the narrows are amazing...  but seriously sulfure creek is just as amazing. It gets almost as narrow yet you still get lots of sun and the rock formations around you are so cool to look at!  The second waterfall. It wasn't as deep at the bottom so not quite as fun.. dang  We found a great sliding rock and went on it a couple dozens of times!  This was the last waterfal

 Ollie likes to climb up and cuddle on the couch. Cuddle bug!  He's not as cuddly with me, but everyonce in a while I get him to lay down.  We went to this park activity where they had a giant tv screen where we watched Kung Fu Panda 2, and had free popcorn and cotton candy, and almost got to go up in the hot air balloon. I stood in line for like an hour, but they never got it running... dang Here we are laying on our "blanket" (Ollie's car seat cover that I made) in the grass during the movie. Fun date night!

 One of the first few weeks into Fall we decided to go up to SLC and have a day up there. We walked around the new City Creek Center which we actually got to see the roof closing over us which was... REALLY cool. We were amazed at the engineering anyways. We also did a session... my first live session. Awesome! The SLC temple is soooo beautiful inside. It really is incredible. Lastly we took a quick tour of the Beehive house! Ty had never been there so it was pretty neat. Sadly we were in too large of a group and didn't get very much information. Here's Ty in front of his old bedroom!  Me in front of their living room. It constantly surprised me how beautiful the furniture, and carpets, and walls... everything was so fancy! To live back in those days! haha  This is the music room where the carpet is what really impressed me, especially since it is an exact replica of what was originially there.  Ty in the store :]  We finally got a picture together! Woo

So I realize I haven't posted in over a month! But Fall semester has been crazy! Look Ollie is even worn out for me! ( P.S. that is now officially Ollie's chair in my mind because of the way he sits in it. I just find it hilarious how comfy he looks) Basically Ty works 8- 10 hours a day. I work every mon, wed, and fri for 8 hours so over 20 hours AND I have 20 credits of school. It's insane, especially with one of my classes giving us a test almost every week and huge projects. Basically I foresee barely getting any As if I do at all... ouch, but it might just be because I don't care for half of the classes I'm taking. It's rough. Anyways we're gonna get through! Just lot's of studying to do and all of Fall t.v. that's started now is a hugee distraction!
