Concerts, Hikes and Costumes

My oh my, am I behind when it comes to this little blog.  Not only have I not even mentioned the fun times of the week of Halloween, but also the crazy/busy/fun weekend before the week of Halloween.  So let's get started and play a little catch up.

The Crazy, Busy Weekend of Fun (Oct. 25 - 27)

Friday - The Fictionist and Imagine Dragons Concert

Friday night, Danny and I headed up to Ogden for the Imagine Dragons concert.  The last time we saw them, they were still considered a local band and the venue was free.  We were curious now that they are much more popular and filling huge auditoriums, how the concert would be.  They put on a great show, as did Fictionist, the opening band. We had a great, loud time.

Imagine Dragons!

Who knew so many cell phones could be such a pretty view?

Saturday - Roommate Reunions, Hikes, and Parties of the Birthday and Halloween sort

I got up Saturday morning and met up with some of my wonderful past roommates for a little roommate reunion.  Melissa, Rachel and I went on a hike or two up in the Uintas, chatting whole time. We had a late lunch with still, more chatting.  I loved every second of it.  Melissa and Rachel, you two are the best!

First we went to the waterfalls on the upper Provo River.  I visited here earlier this summer with Danny and my sis-in-law, Sarah.  It was just as lovely in the snow as it was in the summer sunshine.

Melissa, Rachel and Me!

Rachel and waterfalls!!

One of us managed to fall into the river (twice), but
let's not point fingers.

A soggy foot shot.

Next, we ventured up to Mirror Lake and took a walk on the trail around the lake.

Lovely, isn't it?

A little snow never stopped us!

pictures that I missed getting a photo of her by the lake.  Next time,
Melissa, next time.

In the evening we dropped by our friends' Dave and Anna's house to celebrate Anna's birthday.  It was a potluck and I have to give a little shout out to Danny, who made a fruit salad while I was working on my Halloween costume.  After the birthday party, we went to my cousin Julia's Halloween party.  Julia has this creepy, old barn in her backyard, which was perfect for the party.  Julia's parties never disappoint, plus I was quite pleased with how Danny's and my costumes turned out.

Danny as the Brawny Man and me as a spill.  Note: Melissa, you were right,
the Brawny man no longer has facial hair.  I remedied this by just coloring
some on with a sharpie.

Sunday - Meetings, meetings and more meetings, of the Churchy sort

That's all I really have to say concerning Sunday.  It was fine, just busy.
