making up for lost times, Vermont

to the right is matt and little adeline (my two year old half sister) she was a doll with kylee! more like kylee was the doll to her. she wanted to help feed her and play with her and share toys, it was adorable!

because i've been such a slacker at posting, here are a zillion posts to keep you (and me) occupied for hours!! haha not really. but we were brave parents and took kylee with us across the country on an airplane. i was really worried the

air pressure and taking naps on the plane were

going to be very difficult for kylee and that everybody on the plane would hate us and we'd have to land about an hour out of the boise airport to get rid of the noisy baby, haha. but she didn't do too bad on the way out there, it was about 5 hours of plane ride and about an hour layover inbetween the two flights to get there. we made it on time (which was midnight vermont time). my sister kristen and her husband mark were also coming in an hour before us, but after circling the airport loop for over an hour after we had gotten our baggage (closer to 1:30 am now) we decided to go ask about their flight. they said it was on it's way back to some other city because of the fog that had set in. turned out they had a nightmare of a flight! they flew from SLC to detroit and then on their last leg, from detroit to burlington, vermont the airplane was making weird noises and the pilot turned around and landed back in detroit. they deplaned and loaded onto another plane and took off again towards burlington. about six feet off the runway in burlington, the pilot pulled up and circled the airport for a while, then decided that it was too foggy to land and flew to st. albans a couple hours away. when arriving at st. albans, the flight was held and not allowed to deplane. they were told that they were a security risk and couldn't get out and had to go back to detroit. so they went all the way back to detroit (home sweet home by now!) they then caught a flight out of detroit to pennsylvania arriving at 4:30 am. they were told they could get a flight out to vermont at 7 am so they slept a few hours (if you could call it that) in the airport. come to find out they didn't leave until 1 pm and arrived finally in vermont at 4pm. we were both glad that it wasn't us with the baby atleast!!!

we had a very nice vacation in vermont, and getting there and back to boise we weren't delayed at all (miracle in and of itself). the weather wasn't as bad as projected and we got to ride on the boat across the lake (with kylee asleep in her life vest and sun hat, you couldn't even see her face wish we had gotten a pic of that!) and swim in the relatively warm water. we also did a few puzzles and ate lobster rolls and had ice cream, all the stuff you need to relax haha.

matt took my little brothers (technically half brothers from my dad and stepmom) travis (age 6) and oscar (age 4) fishing off the dock. it was overcast, but the worms that were bought a few days previous were a little sparce and the container only had a few of those. after two hours matt came in wet. he had gotten on the rocks to try to free oscar's hook and fell in in the process. needless to say i should've "saved" him sooner from the eager boys haha.
