Jeeping Excursions

In honor of the wonderful Fall weather we've been having lately, we have been trying to get in as many jeeping trips as we can. So far we are at 4 in the last couple weeks ha ha. One day me and my roommate Jenni drove up Green canyon and she was nice and modeled for me, then the next day we went up Providence canyon with a fellow jeeper friend of mine. We played around up there for a bit, and then had a fire and made delicious banana boats! Mmm... Yum!

The next day, which was a Saturday, us roommates (except one) went over to Hyde Park and had a cute little picnic on top of the most perfect hill ever! It was so fun! We bought food from Old Grist Mill (SO good!) and drove up to this place and played around for a bit.


Gorgeous View!

NEW LENS!

So I just recently got my new lens that I ordered and I absolutely love it! It's so fun! It's a 50 mm fixed with a maximum aperture of f/1.8. I haven't had a whole lot of opportunities to play around with it, but here are some pics that I took (using my new lens) of my roommate Jessica yesterday when we were taking out roommate pictures. We drove up Smithfield canyon which was SO beautiful!







My roommates are so great at being good little models for me ha ha

Bear Lake

Not this last conference weekend, but the weekend before my family had a little getaway vacation up at Bear Lake. Our neighbors are so kind and let us borrow their cabin that they are in the process of completing. It's a cozy little cabin and has an incredible view of the lake! That weekend also happened to be Utah State's homecoming so I only drove up and spent the day on Friday and Sunday. And Holy Cow! The Canyon is SO stinkin' Beautiful!! Man I just Love Fall so much!

I really love Bear Lake a lot :)



Friday we went down to the beach and played for a bit. The water actually wasn't too cold and all the men/boy jumped right in. Lexie started out wearing all of her clothes as you can see. But she loved the water and ended up like this...


Silly boys... whoever knows what they are doing... ha ha


Notice Danny's shadow (far right). He's got moose antlers ha ha. My sister got a picture of us taking this picture and it's funny to see Danny making his antlers.



Four-wheeling!! They have a couple 4-wheelers that they also let us borrow and play on. I love 4-wheeling so much! AND I drove one all by myself for the first time ever! It was just an automatic one ha ha... but yup it was cool. The area was so gorgeous with the leaves changing colors.

Mmmm Fall... :D Brings a smile to my face
