Lucky for us, Owen and I just got to fly to Seattle and then drive to Utah to visit family!
We woke up at 4am to catch a three hour flight to Denver and then made another three hour flight to Seattle.
He did MUCH better than I could have hoped and mostly enjoyed the flights.
We finally made it to grandma's house..
And Owen found all kind of new toys to play with!
He also found a fun new chair where he could eat right at the table..
And all the treats grandma had waiting for him!
We visited a children's museum with all kinds of toys and water activities.
They had nice smocks to protect you from getting soaked, but unfortunately Owen did not enjoy wearing his..
He did enjoy getting wet...
Super wet...
There was also a life sized light bright that Owen LOVED!
We had to pry him away from this when it was finally time to leave.
He loved the water so much we of course had to take him swimming.
It was his first time swimming, so we took some time to get used to the water.
Turns out he LOVES swimming!
He got a little exhausted..
And took a little break.
But I'm pretty sure his favorite part was playing with his Uncle Brandon!
Owen did all kinds of fun things with his uncles.
Like jumping on a trampoline!
He actually didn't like it too much..
He also learned how to do knuckles..
And he showed off his new skills with grandpa.
One night we went out to eat, and while waiting for our table we found some ducks in the parking lot.
Owen had a wonderful time chasing them around trying to catch them!
His uncles then proceeded to chase them away..
which did not make Owen happy.
We had to spend the next 45 minutes walking through the parking lot looking for the ducks that were clearly not coming back..
After a week in Seattle we all got in a car to drive to Salt Lake.
Owen loves petting goats at the zoo so I had been looking forward to introducing him to his great grandma's dogs.
He finally got to meet them and he loved them!
Until they started licking his face..
Great grandma's house was lots of fun.
He got to eat at the table some more and vacuum with Benjamin (seriously one of his favorite things to do).
It was also nice enough to play outside with mom!
While in Utah we got to go to Owen's cousin Zoey's birthday party!
We hadn't met Zoey yet, so they had to get acquainted..
They hit it off and had some fun playing.
He also had fun trying to copy his cousin Delmer..
And playing with Grandma and Grandpa Jensen (while eating yummy watermelon).
The day before we flew home was a sad morning, and we had to say goodbye to the Barnard side of the family about to drive home to Seattle.
We said bye to grandma..
And grandpa..
And the uncles.
The next day we had to fly home so we packed up our bags and headed to the airport.
We ended up at our gate two hours early and then our flight was delayed another 45 minutes.
So clearly we had to get a frosty to pass the time.
When we finally made it on the plane it was SUPER hot and Owen was exhausted.
Lucky for me he slept like this the whole hour to Vegas.
We made a quick stop in Vegas where Owen enjoyed all the noise and lights from the gambling in the airport, and then we got on our last flight to get us home!
It was an awesome trip for both of us, but we are happy to be back home and playing outside in our sunny 80 degree weather!
