I celebrated my birthday this week by taking Talmage to the eye doctor and visiting Costco to buy new glasses for him. Not really...that was just what I happened to do on my birthday. The real celebration was on Sunday when I had my birthday dinner of salmon and carrot cake and my husband gave me the afternoon off.

| One of our traditions is to sing the Happy Birthday song as loudly and off-key as possible. So Mindy is plugging her eyes and almost everyone is singing theirs hearts out. |
I also wanted to go up Provo Canyon for my birthday so Scott and I did that yesterday over lunch while the kids were in school. We went up the Alpine Loop which connects Provo Canyon and American Fork Canyon. We like to go up and see the fall colors.
We got lunch at Kneaders and then headed up to find a place to picnic. There weren't a lot of fall colors actually. Some trees near the top were still completely green while some trees lower down had completely lost their leaves. But it was still pretty.
That evening, after dinner, we went to a barn dance. There's a barn out in Mapleton that is specifically for large groups to do things like this. It was sponsored by our violin teacher and she invited all her students to come and play the music for the dancing while everyone else danced. We danced square dances and Virginia reel-type dances. It was very much for the whole family and the woman in charge taught us every dance before we did it. It was a great idea--I just wish our evening had been a little less rushed and the barn had been a little closer.
