Recap: A Latte Love


Josie can’t believe what happen as they were driving away by themselves. Kelton and Josie are spending a few nights in Asheville before heading to their honeymoon. Kelton reveals that it felt incredible to wake up next to Josie.

The first day, they head to Summit Coffee Co. to learn how to make espresso. Josie is a coffee fanatic but figures out that she is not a fan of espresso. She wants espresso to have milk which means a latte. She and Kelton make latte art which means that you have to design it with milk in the espresso. The couple heads to tour a chocolate factory.

The next morning, they hike up to Chimney rock which has a breathtaking view. Kelton reveals that Asheville is a romantic location which makes for the perfect place to break in being alone.

Since Tori, Michaella, and Alyssa are still in town, they gather to throw a baby shower for Kade. They decorate the table with things that Tori can use such as shampoo bottles and diaper cakes. Bobby says a prayer before the guests eat their food.
 
Judson reveals that the boys do not like to go to showers and things like that. They rather be doing something like sports or jumping off the mountain with wingsuts.

The shower is attended by many family and friends and one of the games are drawing the cutest baby. The winner is Carlin. Bobby and Tori are challagned to guess what goes into a diaper bag. Zach reveals that there are two kinds of diaper bags. One is when you have your first kid and the second one is the one that you have with your second kid. It turns out to be an Erin bag when she claims that you need lotion that you can rub on your baby after they spit up.

Tori reveals that the baby shower was amazing and adorable. She was happy to see everyone and that they work their tails off.
