Our visit to Wisconsin

2008_1108partiesgraduation0078

This past weekend the four of us traveled to Oshkosh to be with Bob and his family when Christopher was blessed.  Besides late planes and cold weather we had a great time.  On Saturday, we went to a indoor play place and all of the kids had fun.  On Sunday, Bob and his family, us and Bro. and Sister Newton took pictures right before Sacrament started.  

When the kids and I went to the airport our plane ended up with engine trouble and we were around 2 hours late.  Here we are waiting, sort of patiently to board the plane.  It reminded me of the time we spent 5 hours waiting for a plane in Jakarta.  The International airport had just opened and nothing went out that day!  There was no food or water and so it was so much fun to wait with all of the kids.  We ended up renting 2 taxis to take us back to our hotel and left the next day.  I know it was a different life and world away but the scene reminded  me vividly of that day.

We had a great time, baby Christopher is adorable and it was nice to see Laura's parents, the Newton's again.
