Apple Picking

We went up the mountain to Angle's Orchard to pick apple again. It was a beautiful day and we enjoyed walking down the path through the apple trees. We picked a lot of apples, half were for eating and the other half were for making apple pie filing. The girls just loved eating the apples right there in the orchard.

Finally Fall




Fall is my favorite time of year!! I love the cool mornings and beautiful days. We have finally made it through the hot summer and now we can enjoy the great outdoors. The girls and I have been going to the park 2-3 days a week. Every year on the first day of fall the girls and I make fall leaf cookies. It's just a fun way to kick off the new season.

Temple



This morning Mark called me from work to tell me he had heard that they were going to put Angle Moroni on top of the temple in Central. We were right in the middle of making cookies. I told him we would try to get down there. About 20 -30 minutes later we arrived in Central. Before we ever go tot he temple I could see the line of . We found the first open spot along the rode and parked our car. We could see angle Moroni dangling from the crane. After a few minutes and a lot of pictures we decided to try to get closer. We were able to find a better spot. As we got out they were just about to put Angle Moroni on the top of the spire. I was so glad we were able to see it. As an old man said to us as we were walking back to our car, "This is a once in a life time opportunity." What a blessing it will be to have a temple so near.
