Welcome Back

Well we survived..just barely perhaps, but survived nonetheless (I am secretly hoping "nonetheless" will be T's first word).

T had her first flight and did amazingly well on the way out...not so well on the way home, but not super bad, I guess she just wanted to show off her new squawking skills to everyone on the plane.

T's favourite part of the trip was her first hotel stay and seeing the mountains of Jackson Hole. OK, like she even knew there were mountains there, but she'll never know we made this stuff up! She even got a cute little hat to commemorate the trip and Mom got some fudge!

Next we were off to IF to hang with Grandma and Grandpa Smith and all the cousins and aunts and uncles for a few days while Dad went to a wedding and went fishing with his brothers and on his own for a few days. We met the newest little cousin Addie...we think T likes her.

Then it was off to SLC for a day to visit with some old (for Mom)friends and some new friends for T. (Melissa, you need to send me the picture from the Gateway..if the lady got more than the stroller wheels in it!!)

We came home with most of what we left with (always have to leave something behind) and even a few things we didn't take with us (lovely head cold for Mom).

Now we're back to hanging out but in chillier weather. Summer has definitely left...and Fall is here. We're off to see the colours next weekend and to pick up Grandma and Grandpa Smith when they come for a visit.

Also, stay tuned for the trip to the Apple Orchard/Pumpkin Patch/Standard Fall outing to come soon!
