Family is the best!!

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

Pucon

After spending the night and the morning at the falls, we headed down to Pucon for 2 nights.  We had a wonderful time exploring the town, driving around the countryside and sightseeing.

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.  She really loves animals, just like her mom!

Day Trippin’ to Philly

Last Thurday, Lisa, Penny, and I heading down to the Philly area to visit Alan, Janet, Ella, and Nate.  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.  We had a great day with the MacDonalds.  We went out to lunch (cheesesteaks!) and dessert (Maggie Moo’s!!), and all played outside their wonderful new home.  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!  There are also more pics over at their blog.
