Idaho trip

We had a pretty good trip to Idaho, under the circumstances. It was good to be with family, some I haven't seen in 15 years, at least. It was also really fun to see Katie and Ben's new house. It was really nice! Here are a few pictures from the trip... The first one, I just barely missed the Idaho state line sign. The next is for Preston, ID (w00t, Napoleon Dynamite!), and the last is a blurry one of us at the airport trying to entertain each other during the long long flights. It was also really nice to see Shauna's sister Kilee. She let us borrow her car in Salt Lake, and then drive up to Idaho. We stopped by Cafe Rio on the way up and got a Sweet Pork Salad to share. It was fun the way Shauna was trying to feed me while I was driving. When we got back to Salt Lake after the funeral, we stayed at the Kimball, (which has seen better days). We spent some time on our last day visiting Temple Square. I think we spent the most time at Deseret Book. We wandered over to the Lyon House for lunch, but Shauna's tummy didn't like the way anything looked. We ended up going to the Joseph Smith History Building and eating at a cafe on the top floor. We kept getting emails that our flight kept getting pushed back... Until the point where there was no way we were going to catch our connection in Denver. Calling United, they were no help. We ended up just going to the airport with hope we'd get home that night. There was a nice United lady that got it figured out for us, sending us threw Dallas on American instead. When we landed in Dallas, it was crazy to see all of the newly built, high school football stadiums... Come'on its high school football...

We got home pretty late, but slept in, and went to the Doctor for that high res ultra sound Shauna was talking about a few posts back. It was really fun to see the baby at such high res. I'm convinced I saw something, so I'm calling him "he", until I hear/see otherwise. Hearing the heart beat for the first time was really amazing too. The little guy thought he was being funny when the lady told him to turn over... He just kept doing it. I guess we forgot to say when to stop. ;) Obviously our kid!
