We spent a day at a little hotel near Des Moines, IA that had an indoor water park. Braedyn had fun playing around in the pool and watching all the other kids run around and go down the slides.

Asleep on the plane.

We got some matching shirts for our upcoming move so that we could act like we follow sports and will fit right in with all the other people in Seattle!

Braedyn and Daddy got a together present, a baby backpack for hiking. Now Braedyn can go with daddy hiking, backcountry skiing, rock climbing, spelunking, base jumping, and whatever else we decide to try!
