Trip Over the mountain!

 Well Mr. Handsome and I took a really fun drive, just the two of us, over the mountain. The leaves were changing colors and the day was sunny and beautiful with not a cloud in the sky. I loved all the smells and sights and talking with my hubby uninterupted! We cut a bunch of wood for our wood burning fireplace this winter. I never saw a man look as handsome as Mr. Handsome while cutting wood! Just look at those arms:)
 I hauled the wood from the ground to the truck. Some good old fashioned excerise!
 A gorgeous overlook

 This was my favorite spot! So amazing.

 Stopped at a beautiful overlook to have a yummy lunch. We were hungry after all that wood cutting!
 We saw a lot of deer.

 Beautiful deer
 A 4 point buck
 We got out of the truck several places along the way to bugle for elk. It was so much fun.
 We saw some nice bucks
 Gorgeous overlook! I know why people come from all over the world to see this place. We are so blessed to live here. The first thing that comes to my mind when I see this is, "God is great".

We are going to make this an annual excursion, so....
until next year!

You know, I have seen similar pics with the both of you in camo. I have to be honest in saying that I am so stinkin jealous!

Trev loves hunting and neither one of us can get enough of the mountains. We used to go on long backpack trips together. When we had only two children, I went on a hunting trip with him. It was so much fun and I have been itching to join him again.

But with Trev's mom working and my mom living so far from us, we can't ever figure out what to do with our FOUR kiddos. The last several years, I have stayed home with the kids while Trev goes with his buddy. It drives me nuts because I feel so left out, and because I want to share our love of the mountains together.

So..... you are really killin me here smalls.

BTW - I am really surprised at how beautiful southern utah is. I guess I have always figured the best mountains were found up north. But truly..... beautiful. Thanks for sharing!
