The BIG Trip


Well we finally made it despite a 3 hour layover that turned into 4 1/2 hours and then sitting on a plane for an hour before taking off for a 6 hour flight. All in all the kids did amazing and Boston slept the whole trip! We stayed one night in Portland and met up with JuJu, Papa, Auntie Cocoa, Auntie Ka and Uncle Jr. at the Zoo. We all had a blast and Mia and Papa did some major bonding. For our first week of our big trip we stayed at Juju's house in Eugene. We got to see one of Uncle JR's baseball games, Kya got to go to Ka's cheerleading practice in Albany where they showed off their matching "Princess Crown" Hair. We also got to visit with our friend Aaron and had Uncle Ryan and his girlfriend Mel over for a BBQ. Mia really loves her Uncle Ryan. Sunday we went to Todd's old home ward, he had a lot of fun seeing everyone again and showing off the kids. After church we got to see Grandpa Jeff, Grandma LaDonna, Aunt Savannah and Uncle Tyler on our way down south. The girls got to rip into Xmas gifts and see their horse Gus, Kya had a ball! Sunday night we had a relaxing stay at Grammies house in Myrtle Creek. Todd and I slept great, however Grammie got stuck in bed between two girls. Monday we reached our next destination Medford. Kya was so excited to see Mimi, Grandpa and Blackjack again, she tried to jump out of the car before it was stopped. Luckily we had just turned on the child safety lock on her door. Tune in again for week 2 of our trip.
