Cottonwood
On Friday while Karin was at work, we all headed south to Cottonwood, Adam’s hometown. Â We had a wonderful time seeing the sites and Adam was a great tour guide. Â Here are some highlights-
Getting ready to go-
Stopping at Uncle Adam’s childhood house and smelling the flowers-
Lunch at the Country Haus. Â Penny had a corndog for the first time and loved it (as did I)!
Hanging out at Joe’s (Uncle Adam’s dad) office and store-
Saint Gertrude’s Monestary-
Mammoth bones in Grangeville-
The Dog Bark Park Inn-
Chinese food for dinner-
Pataha Mill
Wednesday morning we said goodbye to Grandpa Tom and Grams. Â We had a wonderful visit with them and can’t wait for August! Â We spent the morning going to Pataha Flour Mill where Penny got to see all the antique mill parts and old items that people have donated. Â She had a great time looking at everything and it was a beautiful day. Â Beth wasn’t too impressed, she spent most of the time sleeping.
We then headed to Taco Time for lunch, which was a wonderful fast food mexican restaurant. Â Penny loved my crispy burrito and stole it and ate the whole thing!
After nap time we all headed out to feed the ducks. Â The ducks weren’t so into eating at the time, but Penny had a blast throwing in the bread! Â Beth looked adorable in her bear hat, but promptly fell asleep as soon as we got in the car!

I am happy to say that we made it safe and sound to Idaho after 27 hours of travel. Â Penny did great on the flights and in the airports! Â She impressed everyone she met, and everyone remarked on how she is such a great traveler! Â We were so excited to finally meet Beth, who is just as perfect as we thought she would be. Â She is a beautiful, happy, wonderful baby! Â Once we settled in Karin and Adam’s house Penny and Beth were excited to find some easter baskets that the bunny had left! Â Penny was also excited to find 2 packages as well! Â Thursday was our first day here, and while Tia Karin went to work, we all played. Â We all ventured out to the Nez Perce museum and learned all about their tribe. Â Penny loved looking at all the beaded work! Â Enjoy the pics!

Pucon
After spending the night and the morning at the falls, we headed down to Pucon for 2 nights. Â We had a wonderful time exploring the town, driving around the countryside and sightseeing.
View from cabana-
Hiking to the base of the volcano. Â It was smoking while we were there!
We also went and played at the black sand beach. Â Penny had a blast!
Before heading to Pucon, while we were packing the car up there was a man and horse working, and Penny was lucky enough to get to hang out with the horse. Â She really loves animals, just like her mom!
More to come from Pucon!
