Candace came out to visit for a week before she headed off to Australia for 2 months. She had never been here so I decided to take her for a hike in Boulder up Mt. Sanitias. It was a great hike but very steep. We were both winded most of the time :0
We also went to a Pumpkin Patch and Corn Maze. I was amazed at how quickly you can get lost in a corn maze. Luckily we all made it out and found some good pumpkins to take home.

We had our 4th annual Picnic Breakfast at Chautauqua Park this Sunday for Father's Day. For the past 4 years the Blankenships and our family meet at the park around 8am with breakfast burritos, cinnamon roles, fruit salad, coffee and mimosas. It is a great tradition that seems to grow every year with new additions to each family and inviting new dads (and their families) to join us. This year the Pattersons helped us celebrate the dads in our lives and it was another great morning of food and fun.
The annual family picture
A little confused? For about 2 or 3 days, the first place Tilly would go in the morning when she came downstairs was right in front of the oven. She would look at her reflection and it was like she was meeting up with a long lost friend. They would sing, laugh, talk, read, or just sit quietly together. It was a riot. I really think she believes there is a little girl who comes to visit her whenever she goes and sits on the rug by the stove. What a funny kid. I love it.
