Gary and I got back late Monday night from a fantastic trip to visit our friends Eric and Missy. We got to know them in Baltimore and about 3 months ago they moved to the town of Sand Lake, NY, about 20 minutes outside of Albany. They have a beautiful new house situated on about 10 acres and even if it hadn't been the height of leaf color-changing season while we were there, it still would've been amazingly gorgeous. So while we were going on a tour of microbreweries (research turned up a lack of wineries in the area), Emmylou stayed with Grammie, and from the looks of the photos she took, they might've had as good of a time as we did, although I bet her stay didn't involve crashing through a screen door after mooning everyone like her Daddy. Good times, People, good times.

Playing at the Incredible Pizza Place with my friend Tiffany's kids Hadley, Ashton and Maddox (unfortunately, no picture of Foster!)...







Emmylou spent over two hours playing with this wagon she and Grammie found at a garage sale Saturday morning...



Then they took it to the zoo with Amelia to go back and see the butterflies...





Making pumpkin bread back at Grammie's...




And taking a couple of important phone calls and covering Grammie with stickers...




No wonder she was exhausted when we got her back Tuesday morning!
