Getting to Idaho

Getting to Idaho feels like a lot of work. This trip Ben was able to take us up to the airport. We did the trip without a stroller so a little extra help getting checked in was nice. Since Ben came with us, we decided to hit up the Philadelphia Please Touch Children's museum and get some cheesesteaks before our flight. We thought this would be a great way to wear Rhone out before the 5+ hour flight. It was rainy so the museum was a little crowded, but Rhone had a great time anyway. Our plan didn't work out though. Rhone didn't even close his eyes for the entire flight. He was really good, just really busy the whole time. My mom picked us up at the airport and then we spent the night so we could see Ben's mom and 2 sisters in Salt Lake. Rhone stayed up until 10:30 pm (that's 12:30 our time!) putting on a show for everyone. Grandmommy was even sweet enough to bring Rhone some toy pots and pans from Ikea. They are a big hit. It is nice to finally be enjoying life in Idaho!

Goodbye to the city!

We colored, stamped, read, painted, snacked, magnified, stickered, suctioned, and played until we made it to Salt Lake City.

We only managed to take one picture with Ben's family. Here we are with Grandmommy, Aunt Gabi, and Aunt Livi. We are so glad we got a chance to catch up.


Hello to the country! It feels nice to be home.
