Home!!!!

Well, we got home! We had a few problems traveling yesterday, but looking back it wasn't as bad as it could have been. We got to the airport with enough time for Lydia and I to get everything check and get through security, but found out that our flight was going to be 1 1/2 hours late. So we decided to go let Lydia take a nap in the car. Once we got on the plane we sat for close to a hour and found out one of the pilots was going into overtime and could not fly! So they took us off the plane while they looked for another pilot. Less than 5 min. later we were back on! It is hard to explain to a 2 year old why we get off and then back on the plane. It was a tough ride but we got trough it. She ended up falling asleep right before we landed, which made her very crabby when I woke her up to get off. I think she was still half asleep when she saw her mom and dad and didn't realize who they were but when we got her to the car she was alot happier. I have more pictures to post, but I haven't loaded them yet. I will try to get those in the next few days.

Pictures went great!!!

We got Lydia's Pictures done and she did great!!! It was a little hard to get her to smile because she is so serious with everything she does, but we did it and we got some wonderful pictures. We then went to dinner at a really good sandwich place here and now I am off to pack to go home. I cant believe the week is over already. I am excited to go home, but it is kind of disappointing to leave. I will try to keep posting when I get home if my internet ever works long enough. Please pray that Lydia and I have a save and smooth trip tomorrow.

Children's Museum

This morning we got to go to the children's museum! I was very excited because I remember going to one in Colorado when I was little. I was hoping it was going to be just as fun...and it was!!!! Lydia had a wonderful time! She loves to watch the other kids and exploring everything.
Every room was a different theme. This is the hospital nursery. They had the beds that baby are in and a scale to weigh them.
Then we went into the grocery store. The children's museum that I remember had one just like this one. I loved watching her get all the groceries she thought she needed and...
...take them to the check out to pay. Just like her mommy and aunt used to do when we were little!
They also had an area outside to play in water. She loved it and got so wet. Good thing it is warm here!
This afternoon we are going to get her portraits done. I just hope everything goes smoothly and she is happy for it! I'll let you know what happens!

Monday

This morning we got up and didn't really have any plans so we decided to go to a mall that mom had heard had a fun place for Lydia to play. She was so excited to see the easter bunny. At first she just waved and would go near him, then out of no where she ran up and gave him a hug. It was so cute.
We did end up taking her to the pace to play. She was a little slow starting, but as soon as she saw the other kids jumping and playing she was just fine.
She loved the big slide! I thought she was going to be scared of it, but she kept saying "more" as soon as she got down it.
After her nap, Mom and I decided to take her to see "Horton Hears a Who". It was her first movie in a theater and she did wonderful! We all loved it...it was a very cute movie!

Mom had gotten her a Horton stuffed animal and a book, so of course she had to take it to see the movie.

After the movie we met Dad for dinner and now we are going to watch Nemo. I can't believe we only have one more full day here!
