We were excited to line up a trip to Hickory in the middle of October- hoping to not only visit our family but to also spend some time in the mountains. Alli and I both were itching to get up to Blowing Rock to take a hike, breathe in the cool mountain air, and see some beautiful Fall foliage. Alas, that did not happen....we got a soaking rain, warmer temperatures, and not much color on the trees. But we forged ahead on the Boone Fork Trail, and completed an awesome five-mile hike with Tallulah leading the way!
Then we checked out Hickory's Oktoberfest (which I always remembered as being so cool but apparently I was wrong) where Collins and Mimi enjoyed the foot long corn dog.
Our big surprise of the weekend- Collins bonding with the four dogs in the house! She has always been nervous around the dogs, but somehow she got over that and petted, played and talked to the dogs all weekend. A big step, and a fun trip!
