Day with the Hubby

I haven't been feeling very well lately and I wanted to get out of the house. After being sick for so long you get tired of just laying on the couch all the time. I have been wanting to go to Costco for some groceries so I convinced Colton to come shopping with me. He hates to go shopping but he was a good sport.  A few weeks ago we tried coming home through the Nebo Loop in Payson but we could never find it. So, today we decided to take it in Nephi Canyon. It takes a lot longer to get up north this way just because the road is so windy and the speed limit is slow. It was so beautiful up there though. The trees are beginning to change colors and they were so pretty. I have never been on the Nebo Loop before and I really enjoyed it until I started to get sick. Since I have gotten older the mountains windy roads get me sick to my stomach. I don't think it really helped with me not feeling very well to begin with but the view sure was pretty. There were a lot of bikers along the road too. Some were going up and some were coming down but I don't know how they were going up, I would die! We went shopping for a little bit and got Colton a western shirt and cowboy belt that he has wanted for a long time now. He was so excited! So, I guess it was a good thing he came shopping with me. Maybe he doesn't mind to shop after all. =)  I'm glad we spent the day together and had a pretty relaxing time shopping.

It was so pretty at the top of Nebo.

Hunting

I rode up to Wallsburg today, near Heber, with Colton and his dad. Bryant has a bear tag and they wanted to go check the bait that he had set out. The weather hasn't been the best the past few days and it was really wet and muddy where we were. I was all prepared to go check the bait with them but I figured staying in the truck would be the best option.  While Colton and his dad went off on the four wheeler, I was able to enjoy the nature. There was a deer that came down close to the truck with her baby and they were just grazing.  They stuck around for about half an hour and then shortly after another creature came by. He didn't stay around too long and I'm not really sure what he was but it was still fun to see some animals out in nature.  I made sandwiches before we left because I knew I would be hungry so I had a sandwich and played numerous games of solitaire on my phone before they came back to the truck. They informed me the bear had been there so they set out more bait.  I'm glad I decided to stay in the truck because they were both wet from the rain and bushes that they rubbed up against along the trail.  I would have been freezing! But, I was nice and warm in the truck and enjoyed some quiet time out in nature. With no cell signal and no one else around, it was kind of nice!

Happy Labor Day

I am so glad my best friend decided to come to Utah to visit for Labor Day with her little family. Colton and I headed up to Provo this morning and it was a pretty relaxing day and we finally got to meet baby Skyler! She is already 3 months old and I can't believe it. We had a fun afternoon together though. Colton and Josh played catch at the park for a little bit while Emily and I just talked, what we do best, and played with Sky of course! Then we all went to mall and walked around a bit. We weren't there very long before we all started to get hungry. We ate at Olive Garden, which is one of my favorite places to eat, and it was so yummy! I really enjoyed visiting with the bestie today and her little family! I didn't get a picture with Skyler but I got one with her momma!
