I am happy to say that we made it safe and sound to Idaho after 27 hours of travel. Â Penny did great on the flights and in the airports! Â She impressed everyone she met, and everyone remarked on how she is such a great traveler! Â We were so excited to finally meet Beth, who is just as perfect as we thought she would be. Â She is a beautiful, happy, wonderful baby! Â Once we settled in Karin and Adam’s house Penny and Beth were excited to find some easter baskets that the bunny had left! Â Penny was also excited to find 2 packages as well! Â Thursday was our first day here, and while Tia Karin went to work, we all played. Â We all ventured out to the Nez Perce museum and learned all about their tribe. Â Penny loved looking at all the beaded work! Â Enjoy the pics!

At the museum-
After spending the night and the morning at the falls, we headed down to Pucon for 2 nights. Â We had a wonderful time exploring the town, driving around the countryside and sightseeing.
View from cabana-
Hiking to the base of the volcano. Â It was smoking while we were there!
We also went and played at the black sand beach. Â Penny had a blast!
Before heading to Pucon, while we were packing the car up there was a man and horse working, and Penny was lucky enough to get to hang out with the horse. Â She really loves animals, just like her mom!
More to come from Pucon!
Penny and I had a wonderful time with our family in Maine. I don’t have time to upload all the pics, but here are some my parents took. More to come!
Last Thurday, Lisa, Penny, and I heading down to the Philly area to visit Alan, Janet, Ella, and Nate. Â Lisa had just spent over a week with them at the end of July, but I really wanted to get down there and see the whole family, especially since I hadn’t had a chance to meet Nate until then. Â We had a great day with the MacDonalds. Â We went out to lunch (cheesesteaks!) and dessert (Maggie Moo’s!!), and all played outside their wonderful new home. Â It was a shame that I could only see them for an afternoon, but when you live so far away, you take what you can get! Â There are also more pics over at their blog.
