Whirlwind of a trip...

Last Sunday we flew out to see Chuck and Carole while they are out on their mission in Louisville, KY.
Flying stand-by isn't always the easiest, non-stressful way to go...after missing getting on the first flight on Sunday we waited around another couple of hours to get on the next flight. It is always stressful to walk onto the airplane and have everyone look at you with a baby in arms and sense their reaction of "Please don't sit next to me!" The kids did really good on the flight and we got to Cincinatti late that night and then rented a car and had another 1 1/2 hr drive to KY.
It was fun to see Chuck and Carole and it was fun for the kids to see them. Kendal has changed so much in the past couple of months. Monday we all loaded back into the cars and headed to Avon, IN to see Scott and Keri and their family. It was a quick trip but nice to see where they are living and spend an evening with them. Kade and "Teetee" or Mikey had a fun time playing and 2-year-old bickering. :-) It was fun to get them together. We felt bad barging in on Keri last minute, but she was a great host and even gave up their bed to Shane and I to sleep in. Thanks!
We decided that we needed to fly home on Wednesday since Shane had training in Seattle on Friday and we needed to be sure to get home with time to spare. Wednesday morning we went to the Louisville Slugger Bat Museum in downtown Louisville. It was fun to see where they make the bats and take a tour. We had a good time. We got into SLC about 10:30 pm and Shane headed to get the truck and left Kendal, the luggage and myself on the curb. Well, after waiting and waiting I called Shane and one of the tires was flat on the truck. He and Kade were trying to change the tire in the parking lot. Just what we wanted to come home to. Anyway finally at nearly midnight, we were on our way to Farmington to pick up Boo and Hank and then rolled into Payson at about 2:30 am. It made for a long day. I was needing a vacation to recover from our vacation!
