Our adventures in October took us to Elephant Rocks State Park, a nearby state park that is home to gigantic granite boulders. We spent the day hiking around, enjoying the weather and scenery. On our way home we stopped in Kimmswick MO where we went to the Blue Owl Restaurant and Bakery for some "Out of This World" pie! Our outing was so intriguing our friend Randy tagged along. We think he had a good time; we are 100% sure that he did enjoy the desserts, he ate 2! And as always the three of us had a blast!

The two desserts were worth it! And everyone was jelous of the peach pie, so next time maybe they should try two as well!
