Summer Recap - Trip to Utah

We were so lucky this summer to be able to take a trip back to Utah for a family reunion (Dave's mom's side of the family). It was the first time Ady and Tayden had been on and airplane, which turned out to be quite an adventure. On the way the airline was having problems which led to us being stuck in the Minneapolis airport over night. If any of you have ever had that joyful experience, you will now how much more fun it would be with 3 tired children. Well we tried to make an adventure out of it. We were given sleeping mats and meal vouchers, so we found a quiet spot to rest.

Unfortunately, we weren't aware that this spot was already taken...

...by a little mouse. Yuck! I quickly found a cleaner place to camp, even though it meant sleeping with all the lights on.

The Next day we found a great play area in the airport (too bad we didn't find it sooner)

We finally were able to get on the plane and Ady had an anxiety attack. Luckily I finally got her to calm down and sit in her seat with the seatbelt. (I've heard horror stories of toddlers who won't calm down before take off and the flight attendant forces them off the plane) She quickly went to sleep, which was a blessing, and she slept almost the whole time.

And lastly, here is slide show of all the fun things we did while we were there:
