It does exist!

Fall, that is. Houstonians, did you know that some parts of the country actually do get to enjoy the season of Fall?

David and I got the opportunity to take a little vacation this past weekend. We went to our favorite place Steamboat for a few days. It was a MUCH needed and very much enjoyed 4 days! David's parents were already up there when we got there and my parents took care of the kiddos while we were gone so BIG THANKS to all 4 of them, this trip really couldn't have happened without all 4 them!

It really was so nice to enjoy Fall. We saw the leaves changing and enjoyed the cool weather.

We also enjoyed a hiking date on Friday to upper fish creek falls. I had only done this hike once before and I had forgotten how beautiful (and hard) it was. It was 5 miles round trip so we had our work cut out for us. It was definitely worth it once we got to the top to see the upper falls.

We spent most of the rest of the trip eating a lot of yummy food, relaxing, and SLEEEEEPING. The catching up on sleep part was really great.

Thanks again Mimi & Bubba and Suzu & Teddy (and Nat and Dan because they babysat one night and Audrey for picking us up at the airport) because without all of you we couldn't have gone!

This is what 2 well rested people look like:

Though we had a blast, we sure missed our munchkins and couldn't wait to get home to them. Highlight of my night was when Micah said "mommy, I love you thiiiiiiiiiis much!" and gave me a big hug! While it is nice to relax and rest for a few days, I wouldn't trade being a mom for anything.
