Busted Outing Sort Of

We were on Fall Break since last Thursday (it has been glorious) but Monday was our last day off and I really wanted to take advantage of the Fall goodness going on outside before it turns into winter woe.

Landon opted to spend the day with a friend, so Whitney and I drove up to Sundance to ride the ski lift and take in the surroundings. But it turns out that yesterday was the last day to do that!!! Aargh! I didn't even know there was a last day to do that! It was a crushing blow for sure (I even had a coupon) but I tried to rally our spirits by walking around and taking pictures.

Whitney was less than thrilled about the walking around aspect of things. I don't know how she's immune to such beautiful surroundings, but she kind of was.

She perked up a lot when she got to climb down on the rocks by the freezing brook. She liked to put a leaf in the water and watch it float away. I actually got this photo of her from a distance when she turned to look at me (i.e., she wasn't posing on purpose).

Even though we were there past prime foliage coloring, it was still beautiful, especially up close.

I love how the macro setting blurs the background.

Childlike no?

I have a thing with blue skies and fluffy white clouds.

I love this one.

After leaving Sundance we drove to Heber to get shakes at Granny's only to find that it was closed for the season #$@!. So I kept driving and we ended up in Park City. It was beautiful up there, their Aspens were in prime gold (and yet I have not photos).

We eventually stopped at Kneaders to get dessert, a Napolean for Whitney and a Boston Cream Cupcake for me.

We got some fun items at T.J. Maxx and drove home, good heavens it felt like a road trip!
