Last weekend we traveled to Utah to visit with our family as they gathered for the celebration of Elder Benson's call to the mission field.  He was dropped off at the MTC this past Wednesday where he begins his preparation for a mission to Belgium.  It was wonderful to visit with my family in Logan and then to visit with the Hinck family in Layton.  We also met up with Kirsten.  She came to Logan with the help of Aunt Sara Jane.  Everyone was excited to see Kirsten. We had not seen her since we dropped her off at BYU in August.

I am sure they enjoyed having all their family gathered.  With many missions on the horizon, this could be one of the few times in the next little while where we will all be together in the same place.

A lovely couple.

The fall colors in Sardine Canyon were breathtaking and we even caught sight of a moose taking a drink near the side of the road.

Our family was in awe of the beautiful foliage in Sardine Canyon.  We stopped for a quick picture.  Matthew was not happy to interrupt our journey.  If we had angled the camera a little better, the fall colors would have been depicted in a more prominent way.

Our moose friend.

Just to the side of the Benson home, is a field where geese drop in as they travel their route southward.  Dave was intrigued with the photo opportunities.

Quite a beautiful scene.

Fall has won it's spot as my favorite season.
