Pataha Mill

Wednesday morning we said goodbye to Grandpa Tom and Grams.  We had a wonderful visit with them and can’t wait for August!  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.  She had a great time looking at everything and it was a beautiful day.  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.  Penny loved my crispy burrito and stole it and ate the whole thing!

After nap time we all headed out to feed the ducks.  The ducks weren’t so into eating at the time, but Penny had a blast throwing in the bread!  Beth looked adorable in her bear hat, but promptly fell asleep as soon as we got in the car!

Happy Baptism, Beth!

On Sunday we celebrated Beth’s baptism.  It was a perfect day and Beth did wonderfully!  Penny was a proud big cousin and enjoyed all the festivities.

Family is the best!!

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

Happy Easter

Though the weather was cold and dreary, we had a wonderful easter together.  Penny woke up to an easter egg hunt around the house, an easter basket, and a yummy breakfast.  We then went to mass at the cathedral and afterward played in the plaza.  Hope everyone had a wonderful easter as well!
