Last Thursday was such a beautiful day here in West Virginia. Stewart has a hard time staying focused when the weather is so tempting outside. So instead of him wasting his time trying to study he asked me to go with him on a hike. We decided to go to Blue Bend, a swimming/camping recreational area, which is only a half an hour from us, to enjoy the great outdoors.
When we got there we decided to hike the one mile trail to the scenic overlook… I should have known that the only way to find a scenic overlook was to hike up a hill! The hike was well worth it though. It was a beautiful trail lined with rows and rows of Rhododendrons, West Virginia’s state flower. When we got to the top we took a few pictures and then headed back down the hill. We had a great time, enjoying more of West Virginia's great outdoors.

We Made it to the Top
So Stewart and I are having a baby in October. As of right now we are 20 weeks along. Before we learned the baby’s gender we (ok mostly me) decided to do the “Baby Gender Cake Test” to determine our baby’s gender before the official ultrasound. What is the Baby Gender Cake Test you ask? I will tell you, you take a cake mix and dye half the cake mix blue and the other pink, then you pour both the blue and pink batters into a round cake pan doing your best to make it equal. And then you bake the cake as directed. When the cake comes out you should have a half blue, half pink cake… next you frost the cake as you wish and decorate it to you liking. Afterwards you spin your cake around until you decided to stop. Cut into the cake…what ever color the peace of cake is that you cut out is supposedly the gender of your baby.
Just before we took the test
The ResultOur cake test came out Pink… now here is the real question, was it right? In all honesty the cake test has a 50% chance of being right. I know lots of you who read this blog would love to know if we are having a boy or a girl, but you will just have to wait until we tell our families…. Suspense, don’t you hate it?
