Jabara Krewe: Summer 2011 Mainland Trip

Ben received 10 days of paternity leave to use within 90 days of Alaina's birth, so we chose to use it and go to Spokane and Portland. Since it's such a long and expensive trip, Cole, Alaina and I flew back to Portland with Katie, Wade and Tilly so we could stay for longer than 10 days. We were there for almost 3 weeks and it went by so quickly! Of course our trip was busy visiting visiting and introducing Miss Lainey to everyone. Cole had a blast with everyone. He followed grandpa around the house like a little puppy and he loved playing with all of his cousins. The older he gets the harder it is to get on that plane and to head back home. He loves all of his family so much and now he's at the age where he's asking to go to people's houses back in Spokane. Yesterday while driving home he asked if Andrew could come to our house to play dinosaurs with him. If only it was that easy...
But, we are happy to announce that we'll be coming back for another visit in late October and early November. It'll be a quick 10 days, but I've got to get my family and fall fix!
