Yep. I lived a mile or so from the foothills in northern Colorado for about 20 years, and have been living elsewhere for the last 25 years, most recently in Virginia. Three months back, we moved to western Massachusetts, which is pleasantly hilly, often with a horizon which is pleasantly unflat (though I liked having a choice of horizons in Colorado).
I think I'll just adopt a John Cleese tone and say, "Look, mate, this is an EX-mountain!" next time it comes up. The subject, I mean.
What a lovely and expressive face your girl has! (Well, and the rest of her is adorable as well, but the facial expressions in this set were hilarious and oh-so-cute.)
Nice to see the pix of Sarah up there too, pushing the stroller. I'm glad they really liked each other. We're always happy when older kids play with Sarah, so now we've returned the favor a little. Or rather, she has.
