Off the plane and running (Week 1)

All the moments count when you are with the family and friends you love and miss so much.  So we hit the ground running, literally.  We went straight from the airport on a drive up north for lunch with the Jespy's then came back, cleaned up and made our way to a birthday celebration for my cute little niece.

The first week we had family dinners and outings, a lot of shopping, and a lot of restaurants to fulfill those cravings we had while in Chile.

Family Dinners

Hiking with Grandpa.  While the older boys went hiking, my sister-in-law, two nieces, Easton, and I hit the walking trails and nature center.

For our memories, I have to mention some of the things we did that first week which I didn't have my camera for...

- Watching Grandpa play softball
- Going to America the Beautiful Park to play in the huge fountain
- FHE and Swimming at Uncle Pat and Aunt Andrea's
- Grandma and Mom's lunch out
- Family dinner at Uncle Pat's for Aunt Andrea's amazing Peruvian cooking
- Helping Grandpa build the cover for the window well and cleaning out branches, logs, and leaves of the backyard area to keep things safer in case of forest fires.
- All the playing with cousins
