Mimi came to visit us at the end of September (yes, we know we're getting this out late... but we figured it was better than never!). She came to visit for ten days, but the time just flew by. We went apple picking Ya Ya Orchard, just west of Longmont. It was a lot of fun, but the trees were pretty small and more or less picked over (the season was very early this year due to the hot, dry summer we had here in Colorado). We did get to pick some apples and they had some animals to feed (a couple of horses and donkeys). Mommy shared a caramel apple with Kara, and Daddy and Kara even took a hay ride around the whole orchard! It wasn't as much fun as Sky Top Orchard in Flat Rock, NC, however, which we highly recommend to our friends down South!Another highlight of Mimi's visit was a trip up to Rocky Mountain National Park to see the elk. Mommy and Daddy were a little worried that we were going to head all the way up there and then not be able to find any elk. Well, we should not have been worried. We drove past a large herd hanging out at a high school just south of Estes Park, before we even got into the park! From there, we were able to find quite a few elk. It was an exciting adventure for all of us (we included some pictures in the slideshow, but here's a link to all of our Rocky Mountain National Park pictures).
In baby news, we had our 20-week ultrasound last week. The baby looks great! 10 toes and 10 fingers! the big news out of the ultrasound is that Mommy and Daddy have decided not to find out the baby's gender until he/she is born. We figured, how many times in your adult life do you actually get surprises?
