An eventful week!

So my dad came into town on Tuesday and we've had a pretty eventful week. First, on our way to pick up my dad, instead of driving to La Guardia Airport, somehow we ended up in Yonkers, then to New Jersey.. but his flight was delayed so we got there just in time to feed Bailey and pick him up. Kyle had to work that night so I had Kasidy come with me and we figured out how to navigate and drive all in one trip while taking a scenic route to the airport. Bailey was a champ and slept the whole way there and back waking up only when we got there to eat.

Wednesday was kind of a lazy day because it rained and Kyle was trying to sleep. But we went down to the carts and got our delicious meals, and then went to the bookstore to get souvenirs for my dad.

Thursday we got up and ready to go and went on a walking tour of Yale. Kyle and I were also lucky enough to get the Flu-mist H1N1 since Bailey isn't old enough to get one. At the Yale tour, we went all around Yale, then when we were getting pictures of something, we lost the tour, so we went to Ashley's Ice Cream, and I'd have to say that it definitely wins over Wentworth's Ice Cream. We also went to East Rock Park and saw the view from there (not as pretty as when the trees actually had leaves on them).
Friday we went to a submarine naval museum that we actually got to tour the submarine they had there. When we were there we saw a sub coming back from sea which was really cool. Afterwards we went up to a cidermill and got the yummy applecider and apple doughnuts. I love New England Falls for the colors, and the cidermills.Our ward then had a Halloween get together that we thought would be fun to dress up and do something for Bailey's first Halloween. So I went as a cowgirl, Kyle went as a hunter, and Bailey went as our little pumpkin.Notice that Bailey is winking at the camera. However our Halloween party didn't last too long because the fog machine that they had setup in one of the rooms set off the fire alarm, and we didn't want to wait for the firetrucks to get there to we decided that we were done for the night.

Saturday we went up to CABELA'S!! We had so much fun and again Bailey slept the whole time (what a champ!). Then we got to bless Bailey today. It was amazing and she was beautiful!

Sounds like you guys had a lot of fun. I tried to get the H1N1 shot a couple of days ago and they gave the last one to the person in front of me. I was not happy there since I waited an hour and a half!! I'm glad you were able to get the vaccine. Bailey looks beautiful in her blessing dress. I'm sure she looks beautiful in anything though!

Sounds like you guys had a great week! Bailey looks beautiful. She looks as darling in your blessing dress as you did. Grandma Archibald would be so happy to know that Bailey got to use the dress she bought for you. Love you guys! Wish we could have been there for the blessing.
