Boise Trip...w/o pictures

Well, our camera battery charger is still missing. I guess I'll write a little about Eric and my trip to Boise and post pictures later.
Eric and I flew to Boise on May 25th. Eric did so well on the flights. I was lucky enough to have a seat empty between me and the next person so Eric just played with his toys and climbed up and down. There were a few times he wanted into the isle but momma was in the way. Thankfully we didn't have any problems with his ears during take-off and landing. He quite enjoyed it.
When we got in on Tuesday, my sister in law Judie picked us up at the airport. They had put our car seat on the wrong luggage cart so it was "lost" for a time. They had to loan us one. We spent the evening with Jody and Judie and their chillins. Eric and I got to meet Cynsha and Henrick for the first time. Eric had blast playing with his new cousins. At first he was a little leary but warmed up quickly.
Wednesday I was able to get my hair cut by my favorite beautician, Annabelle. I also got it highlighted which took some adjusting to. That afternoon Eric and I went into Boise for Uncle Graham's High School graduation. We first had a yummy graduation dinner at Mongolian BBQ (Graham's choice). After a long graduation (why are they so long?) We cheered loud for Graham. Of course the celebration would not have been complete had we not enjoyed TCBY afterward.
The rest of the week was spent with the Ririe's. The Grandparents LOVED having Eric around. Everything he would do someone would say, "That is so cute!" On Sunday, we headed out to my sister's house for a very large family dinner (about 30 people). It was crazy, good fun. Eric loved having so many kids to play with. He especially liked Savannah who is about his size.
On Memorial Day, it was cold and rainy. Blake got 2 puppies that day. They were so cute! Eric got to playing and laughing with one of them. They are rat terrier's so they were smaller than Eric which he loved.
On our trip home, Eric again did awesome. The flight from Denver to Tulsa was full so eric didn't have a seat to play in but lucky for me, he fell asleep and slept basically the whole way home, waking up to greet daddy and then falling asleep in the car as we drove home. Thanks Mom and Pops Ririe for a fun vaction. Can't wait until August!

I'm so glad Eric did so well on the plane! What a good kid! I can't wait to see pics of your hair. I know what you mean by getting use to it, whenever I've gotten my hair highlighted I always feel like a witch, although I don't have a favorite beautician, so that probably makes all the difference in the world!
Glad you guys are back safe, Miss you, can't wait to see you guys!
