We went out to look for fall colors last weekend with Megan's brother Thane. It was really fun, but we didn't see much color. The most popular color changing tree in the rocky mountains is the Aspen, which changes to gold. So when you go up in the mountains you see green and gold. Natives call the changing leaves "colorado gold." So anyway, we wanted to experience it so I got on the local news channel's website and got the best drive to see the leaves. It was a long drive so we didn't get it all in and most of the drive only had pines, it wasn't until we got higher into the mountains that we started to see some gold. It was beautiful but it made me miss Logan and the red leaves in the Canyon. We did see a bunch of deer and a jumping trout. Also Thane went back to his Boy scout days and showed us an herb that has numbing properties. I guess Native Americans used to chew it to relieve tooth aches. Thane failed to mention the numbing properties when he offered it to Megan and her mouth was numb a good part of the ride home.:)
Lauren, Kurt and Thane
Kurt, Lauren and Megan in the Rocky Mountains. (Alexis is sleeping in the background)
It is fun having two girls. Alexis is now 3 months and a little tougher and not as interesting to her sister. Lauren is a big help and can make Lexie giggle where Megan cannot. I took some pictures of the girls together. Alexis is fourteen pounds and even sitting Lauren couldn't support the weight. Alexis doesn't look too comfortable but never complains.
Lauren and Alexis interacting. (Look mom I made my bed!)
Trying her best to hold up the chunk.
Lauren kept kissing Lexie and I thought it was adorable but I kept missing the shot. So I had her do it again and again. She doesn't understand "freeze" So she would kiss I would take the picture, she would pull away and the camera would take. Try again... same thing. They were both patient until I finally got the shot!
