Red, Orange and Gold

Fall is here.  I really don't know how it happened.  I went to New York for a few days and came back to an incredibly colorful, and cooler, Park City.  It happens every year, yet somehow I am consistently shocked at how quickly the seasons change here.  One day, you're driving around with the windows down wearing a tank top stopping at a lemonade stand and the next, you're dusting off your ski gear because the forecast says "possible snow on Friday."  In any event, here is a little farewell to a glorious summer.  

In the summer of 2011, we hiked Pinebrook and the mid-mountain trail...



We spent time with friends, and some older ones...





We visited the dinosaurs at Zoorassic Park...







We cooled off at the Basin Rec Splash Pad (Liam's new favorite place)...









We appreciated the beauty of nature in the Uintas and caught our first fish with Papa (and got stung by a horsefly)...








We started a family tradition of having Sunday picnics at the lake...









We went on a canoeing/kayaking adventure with good friends...












We capsized...



And we played...







Happy end of summer, folks!

Yes - that is Rachael taking pictures while Liam falls out of the canoe into the water, and Dad soaks his cell phone.
