We've been taking advantage of the beautiful weather (high 60s, low 70s--wow) this week and have gone to the park every day. We also had a great playgroup trip to Wheeler Farm too-- we even saw a huge mama pig nursing 5 not-so-little babies. First time I've seen that in person! It's really been a perfect week, and we topped it all off today by hiking Ensign Peak with Kissie.
Cora walked all the way up and back with no complaining. She loved it! In her prayer tonight she said thankyou for the hike to the top of the mountain, the pretty grasshoppers and being able to see the whole world from the monument. It was super windy and a tiny bit hazy, but a great temperatures and a pretty view. Violet walked all the way up and 2/3rds of the way back. They both did amazingly well, way better than I thought they would! I've never been up to Ensign Peak before, and it was great.

At the top! It was sooo windy.
Violet was more interested in checking out a piece of ABC gum on the ground than the view. Ew.
Now the weather is supposed to turn more normal for November, so at least we took advantage of our week of Indian summer!

I miss having your Mom here in Eagle but isn't it wonderful for you and the girls to have her so close that you can do fun things like this? Memory makers!
The weather has been so nice! Im wondering how much longer it will last. Its a nice little hike to Ensign peak with a beautiful view. Thats impressive Cora walked the whole way and didnt complain.
How fun! I always loved going out on those random gorgeous fall days in Utah. YOur pictures make me miss having mountains to visit.
PS. Glad to hear you found a good mechanic and were able to get things fixed. We have a Honda Accord that is ten years old now that we are trying to keep running forever too :).
Good work girls! That is impressive for all of you! I'm going to have to get up there with James, but it looks like it might have to wait until spring!
