A month ago, we got to go to Iowa for spring break to visit my parents house. It was so great to see the family, especially after a very long 19 hour drive!
On the way there both Quincey and I developed yucky colds. So, finally on Wednesday we went to the dr to get checked. Quincey had bronchitis, Maiya had double ear infections and bronchitis, and I had pneumonia. Too bad we didn't go earlier, but we just kept thinking it would go away. Oh well, if you have to be sick, it might as well be where your mommy can take care of you. (bad thing is, we gave her the bronchitis too :( sorry!)
But other than that minor set back, we had a very enjoyable time! We got to go to Nauvoo, and visit the Swedeberg museum where I picked up a Swedish cookbook and some lingonberries ;) We got to see where my mom and dad work. Got to watch movies, and go to the children museum! The kids loved hanging out with Aunt Brianna, and Uncle Brad. And they loved their ferret Claudio.
(as evidenced by the following photo)
Maiya crawled into Claudio's cage, all by herself!
On the way back we decided to break the trip up a little better. We went a little bit longer route, but we got to go see some church sites. We saw, Far West. We stopped at Liberty Jail, and then we got to stop by Geren's sister Marche's house in Oklahoma. The kids got to play while we had great conversation, and gave a great place to stay before the last stretch home. (next time, we will have to stay longer) :)
We also stopped at the Aquarium in Albuquerque, and finally made it home! Whew! What a great trip. Hope to go again real soon!
