KC/Nauvoo/Orlando/Hutchinson Island

As usual we are on the go. We cannot seem to stay in one place very long.....although the traveling is coming to an end as the weather in Oregon is shaping up nicely. The “peanut up the nose” incident I mentioned in my previous post happened the day we flew into Orlando...and thank goodness that was the only drama of our trip.

We had a wonderful visit in KC with my family and headed up to Nauvoo with my parents for two days. We then visited Disneyworld with Troy's family and even got a behind-the-scenes tour with Wyatt. The tail end of the vacation was spent lounging at the pool and beach for two days on Hutchinson Island while Troy worked...the joys of bringing home the bacon.
Some of the highs and lows of our travel:

- Henry was an absolute angel our ENTIRE TRIP....until the last hour of our flight when the Binky was lost ...but that was after 13 hours of travel....so anything goes.
- seeing the Nauvoo Temple
- Spending an entire week with Troy...and no work interruptions. GLORIOUS
- Watching Henry's face when he was mesmerized while looking at a Black person....we don't have many people of color where we live.
- Having Ethan (my nephew) run out of the house so excited to see Henry...and so anxious to take care of him. He even wrote his mother a note on how to take care of Henry....Didn't you know that 8 year olds know everything! :) We adore Ethan
- Watching Braeden roast Marshmallows on the BBQ
- Watching Sydney, Allison and Henry hold hands at the park
- My Father and his made up songs - Driving across Missouri and passing through all the small little towns where everyone waves as you drive by.
- Catching Allison in the Fridge with chocolate syrup....all over her face.
- Having Henry go all the way to Disneyworld and him being more entertained with the people than the rides
- Henry shoving a Peanut up his nose...while we are on vacation....lovely.
- Our fantastic Marriott accommodations hooked up by Megan....Thank You!!
- Henry wrestling with his Uncle Wyatt and Uncle Devin - he loved it!
- Watching Henry's reaction to leaving his Nana and Papa....and then seeing his Grandma and Grandpa. He adores his Grandparents!
- The behind the scenes tour with Wyatt...Awesome...We loved the Dolphins.
- Walking the Halls at church (trying to keep Henry under control) with Glenn Beck and not even recognizing him until after the fact.
- Kickin it at the Tiki Bar with Henry...who wooed all of the older folks
- Collecting shells with Henry on the Beach...and then throwing them as far as he could.
- And of course the highlight of the vacation for Henry were the ceiling FANS!!

Henry and his cousins!!
