Fall Leaves, Tinfoil Dinners, and Starbursts!

Last night we went up Millcreek Canyon to look at the changing leaves and to have good old tinfoil dinners over a camp fire. The canyon was so pretty all the leaves were just starting to change color. I saw many places to take great photos of changing leaves, but our picnic area was not one of them. So I hiked up a little to take a few photos. Oh I so badly want to be able to take awesome photos. But I will have to wait until one day, I enroll in some classes.

Cole loves the outdoors! He also loves fire. We were getting the wood on the fire and Kevin looks over and Cole had the matches and had lit a match before we even knew it. Aaah. It's a boy thing right? He enjoyed throwing wood chips into the fire and being right by Dad helping him.

Love being married to such a handsome boyscout! He cooked our tinfoil dinners perfect. I never liked roasted marshmallows. Probably because I burn them (I missed the patience line in heaven, not Kevin though) he makes a golden brown marshmallow. Crunchy on the outside and smooth and gooey on the inside. We also roasted starburst candies. The fire doesn't just melt them but makes them also gooey and crunchy. Hard to explain, I guess you'll have to try for yourself. Last thing we roasted dough for breadsticks. I got the recipe off a website that called it Bannock. Which just tasted like biscuits to me. It was okay, would have been better with some butter of course!

2-3 C Flour

1-2 T Baking Powder

1 tsp Salt

2-3 T Oil or butter

2/3 C Warm Water

We had such a good time up the canyon just with our little family. I love family outings! I am so blessed to have such a great family and to be able to go and enjoy the wonderful things all around us.

Cole took this picture of us. Wow he is even a better photographer than I am. He does have some mad skills though.
