Vacation Part 7--The Final Installment

Ummm...I think the green and brown hat is officially too small! Click Here for some other pictures in it.


Noah's first time swimming (don't ask me why when we have a pool about 100 steps from our back door). Our hotel in Spokane had a pool which was too cold, so we hung out in the spa. He loved when we turned the jets on!

Vacation Photos Part 1


We took a ton of pictures on our week long vacation to visit Grandma Miriam in Idaho. Pictures will be coming in installments all this week.

Sleeping on the plane. He fell asleep before we even took off and woke up about 10 minutes before we landed. People around us were very relieved that he was so well behaved. On a side note, anyone know why Southwest covered the notice on the seat back in front of you that used to say you could use your cushion as a flotation device? It now just has the oddly placed purple sticker you see above Noah's head. Do the seats no longer float? Should we be concerned?


Surveying the land on the way to Grandma's. This is the view from Lewiston Hill and is a view of Lewiston, ID. The other side of the river (where you can't quite see) is Clarkston, WA.


When we finally got to Grandma's, Noah wanted to show off his crawling skills. Unfortunately at this point he only knew how to go backwards and got stuck under the chair. He didn't seem too bothered by it, though!

We were on vacation on the 20th, so this month's pictures are a few days behind.

A fun camping weekend

Looking cute by the campfire.


Look at what I can do!


A sweet smile.


Playing with Godfather Quique.


Looking pensive on a rock.


Hanging with Daddy.


We went for a hike around the lake. It was beautiful!


Every campsite needs a baby jail. Adalina, Navarro, and Noah had some clean-ish playtime.


This is what happens when you take a picture in a dark tent with a flash...ghost baby!
