Big Trip

Like last year, mommy and us boys planned a big trip to Canada during spring break and while daddy was traveling with the baseball team. Last year it helped baseball season go by much smoother and we are hoping the same for this year! Our trip consisted of 2 flights and things turned out pretty horrendous. First we had a delay in GJ for wind, then for air traffic. The second delay was in the plane, in taxi mode and we were expected to stay buckled for a 1/2 hour... not likely for a 2 year old. Then we got to Denver our connection was scheduled to take off 20 minutes after our landing so we literally ran almost a 1/2 mile with all our stuff and a crying 4 year old just to get on the plane and sit there for another 45 minutes, again in taxiing mode! We eventually arrived, made it through customs and got to Mark and Laurels at midnight.

While in Calgary we enjoyed swimming, visiting mommy's cousin's horse ranch, delicious homemade food, beating on Uncle Derek and tons of playing with cousins!
Uncle Mark's homemade moose burger stuffed with peppers and cheese!

Houston stole the covers and decided the floor was better to sleep on


Then it was off to Medicine Hat. Mommy is horrible at taking pictures when she is with her friends, but she got to see one BFF in Calgary and 3 others in Medicine hat. We also got to spend lots of time with Great Grandma and Grandpa Campbell. There house is so welcoming with toys mommy used to play with, yummy food and good entertainment.



Houston stayed up with mom to watch a BYU basketball game

Eating supper, Cooper style.

Mommy's Cousin, Landon and his wife just had their first baby and we got to meet the cutie! We each held him for a total of 27 seconds.


For Easter weekend, Uncle Derek, Uncle Mark, Auntie Laurel and the boys came back to Medicine hat.



Police point fun



Sleeping in the fort



Over Easter Mommy got a bad cold and completely lost her voice. Over the next half of the trip mommy went through an entire bottle of this nasty stuff.


Houston got to go dirt biking before saying good bye.


Damon also got very sick before we went home. We figure it must have been the flu. for about 3 days he slept more than he was awake during the day. This made our trip home starting at 3:30am very difficult. He was miserable during the whole trip not wanting to eat or drink anything I gave him and just wanting to sleep when he couldn't. Houston was such a big help and Cooper was as good as a 2 year old could be. But we eventually made it and mommy burst into tears when she saw daddy waiting at the airport.
The first thing we wanted to do when we got home was play Legos!

Daddy stayed busy while we were away with a trip to New Mexico with the baseball team and some other fun stuff.
