Mary Kay flew in Wednesday for a fall visit. We discovered the last 4 times she has been in Colorado she has shared our attention with other family members. Last year she was here for the food taste testing, bridal shower, wedding (where she shared us with 143 of you!) and most recently, she was here Father's Day weekend with my parents and Cathy, Johnny & Layla. So...it was nice to have her to ourselves!
I was able to take a couple days off from work which, combined with my 3 day weekend turned out to be a nice 5 day break (yay!). Mostly we've done a whole lot of relaxing! But as promised we took Mary Kay in our camper for a nice fall get-a-way to our favorite spot....Meadow Creek Reservoir. Just for fun, mom wheeled her LARGE suitcase out to the kitchen and asked Mike to load it in the camper for her. His eyes were wide but he agreed and went to lug the thing outside, until he heard us snickering! Seriously, she did very well "travelling light" and I think felt quite comfortable in our redneck paradise.
We took a few a short hikes, spent some time reading and eating in the sun and huddled around the campfire at night. We had our first indoor dinner of the year because the wind picked up after dark and we all agreed it would be much more enjoyable inside. But at least we got lunch outside! Mike caught a few cutthroat trout and we cooked them up with our eggs in the morning....yum! We didn't spot a moose this weekend.....bummer. But we did catch some golden yellow aspens changing color.
So.....tomorrow is our first ultrasound (for those of you who didn't know we are pregnant again....SURPRISE!!!). We'll let you know if this is what we see....
It's a twin cucumber that grew in my garden this summer! Is it a sign??? We'll let you know!
