Date Night

Last night for date night, after our fabulous home made pizza dinner, Steve and I decided to take a drive up the canyon. The leaves are just starting to change, and it's my absolute favorite time of year! We did some fun (for Steve) off roading. (I'll admit I didn't enjoy it much, especially when we couldn't turn around and had to off road backward.) Norris, Steve's truck, handled it like a champ! However nerve wracking, these off roading adventures took us to some simply beautiful spots.

These were taken at a ropes course we found about halfway up the canyon. We weren't sure we should be in there, the no trespassing signs were menacing, but it turned out to be a lovely spot.

This was the leaf I picked up. You can't really tell from the picture but it's the most brilliant shade of orange. Almost pink!


We kept driving up the bumpy, dirt road canyon, and found the most beautiful lake. Well, Steve called it a lake. I'd probly call it a pond, but still, breathtaking. The best part was seeing the small fish jumping high out of the water to catch the bugs. It was awesome!


There are a few things we don't love about Ephraim. No cell phone service for Steve, the lack of any kind of store except a Wal-mart, the sometimes unpleasant aroma, the 2 hour drive to Salt Lake, and the random internet, and power outages. However, Ephraim is not lacking in beauty. The beauty in Sanpete County, is different than what you'd see on the Wasatch front, but we've learned that different is good. Steve and I feel so blessed to have this time in Ephraim.
