family, fall, food, & fun

Well we been here in SLC for a little over two weeks now and have been enjoying spending time with family, the fall festivities, eating out at our favorite food joints (and cooking our own food), and just having fun. No offense Montana but I'm really loving that Utah has SO MUCH MORE to do, see and eat here. Keith's sister Catherine came last weekend with her fiance and we all went to Gardner Village to see the WITCHFEST. Gardner Village is the cutest place ever! It's all decked out for fall with Witches and fall garb. It has the cutest little shops complete with fudge!

Later that day we went to City Creek Mall in downtown SLC. Holy cow what a sweet MALL! We had fun trying on silly outfits while the boys watched.

Yesterday Keith's Aunt Charie invited Carson and I to go to the Hogle Zoo with her and some of her daycare kids. We had never been there before so I was super excited! It was so fun and the perfect weather for October. Couldn't have been a better day. Thanks again Charie!

Since we've been in Utah we've also got to go on several dates. It's been almost six months or so since we've gone on one since we were in Montana for so long. We've been loving the help of Keith's family, they're so willing to babysit Carson so we can go out. We've been able to go to some of our favorite food joints and try new ones. In and Out, Kneaders, and Zupas are some of our favs here in SLC.
