beginning of sister visit

If I wasn't going to see Rach again very soon it would have been a much harder goodbye when she left. We saw and did so much, that the time we were together now feels like a blur. I love these two and I am so, so happy they could come visit.

To start, I wanted to do something special for this occasion and I impulsively bought a Dutch Baby pan. I don't know why it has taken me so long to get one, since the Dutch Baby at the Original House of Pancakes changed my life the first time I had it. They are so easy to make and delicious. The recipe I used can be found here.

The weather was beautiful and our first official outing was to the trail near our house.
