Last week, Sweets and I took a drive up Corner Canyon for some dinner and dessert. Sadly, this summer has been so busy with work, vacations and family stuff that we haven't been able to enjoy the mountains as much as we would have liked. So, for FHE we decided we would take advantage of the beautiful weather and head up the canyon.
We saw a few animals on our drive up and then one hairy critter on our way home. The deer were beautiful, just minding their own business eating the weeds when we pulled up to them. We watched them for a few moments and I was amazed at how cautious and graceful they were. But the tarantula we saw was not beautiful...nor...graceful! It was ugly, and scary and I went into heart failure when Sweets backed up the car up to get a closer look at it. I mean seriously, what is the point of those awful crawling things?
Once we found our spot a ways up the canyon, we pulled over to a picnic area and set up shop. Since this was a last minute thing, we thought grilled cheese sandwiches would be a perfect meal with a side of fruit and peppered jerky.
It is amazing how yummy things taste when you are in the mountains. I don't know what it is.
The pups loved running around the mountain side visiting all the bikers that past by. Telly has never really been up in wild before, he was too young and didn't have all of his shots, but for his first time he loved it! And he didn't get carsick!!! Lately, he has had a few problems keeping things in his stomach while driving...poor lil' guy. 
However great the night was to spend with my favorite people, the view of the Draper temple and the city on the way down topped it off! It was completely lit up and there was nothing around it to compete for beauty. We just had to stop and admire the breath-taking views. Hopefully soon Sweets and I will be back out in the woods...when the weather cools of course!
