What Do We Do When Dad Is Gone? Part 1

     Sam is at a conference in San Francisco until Thursday, so we are having some adventures while he is gone. 

     The first adventure was taking Sam to the airport in Idaho Falls. Poor Ellie really wanted to go with her dad. She has been telling me all day about how daddy went on the airplane and that he is far far away, and she always follows it up with "I miss daddy."

     In the evening we went to the store to pick up a few necessities, then I took the kids to McDonald's for dinner. I can't even tell you how happy they were to get to run around. And that Ellie is an apple juice lover. Any place she can get apple juice is a happy place for her.

     Nathan had the time of his life in the little kid part of the play place. He chased another little boy around, and they were both just laughing... Until the other boy pushed him over onto his head. He was pretty inconsolable after that. The mom of the other little boy felt horrible, but hey! Stuff like that happens! I was just glad that the kids had fun and that they were able to get a little energy out of their systems.

     We will see what other adventures await tomorrow!

Love,
