I flew out to Utah on the 4th of July so I could make it in time for my Grandpa Nelson's funeral. My flight to Utah was very interesting. Most of the time when I fly by myself I end up in the same row as unaccompanied minors and most of the time they are teenagers around 14. This time I sat next to Lily who was six. She was flying to Salt Lake to visit her dad who lives in Boise. Let's just say I got to be a parent of two kids for about 5 hours. She was a really sweet girl but NOT shy at all. She was into all of Ellie's things the second I pulled them out. I had to have a lot of back up plans of how to entertain Ellie while Lily played with all her things. The flight attendant was really appreciative that I kept Lily entertained the whole time so I got a lot of free food and whatever I wanted the whole flight which was a bonus.
My mom's namesakes. Three generations of Catherine's!
Ellie had a rough time at the funeral. She hand't had a nap for two days in a row.
Most of my Nelson side of the family!
We headed to the farm for a few days! Ellie had a blast hanging out with her cousins and even had her first pony ride. I didn't even have to hold onto her.
