Kentucky Trip

Last week, Alisha and I returned from a trip to Kentucky to see my relatives and their new addition to the family:

Holding Miles at 1 month old

Throughout the trip, the kids took turns holding and kissing Miles. One of the adults would be holding him, and the kids would jump up from their toys or walk by, then nuzzle up next to his face and repeatedly kiss him until they were pushed away (to allow him to breathe and sleep).

I got pictures of each of the kids holding him, except for Westin. Instead, all I got was a picture of Westin licking powdered sugar off of a beignet. Close enough. At least it was "sweet".

  

Javan, who seems to carry most of the visual artistic tendencies in the family, even drew a sketch of Miles' face and gave it to us:

While we were there, we also did some fun projects with the kids and saw the local sights. We went to Mammoth Cave (which I'll post about tomorrow) and visited Cumberland Falls. Here is Westin's list of items that were needed for our planned projects, which included an obstacle course, balloon bombs (inflate with flour inside), and hollowing out a book for a secret hiding spot:

Rope, Balloon, Eggs, Book

The weather was also a nice break from the current California drought. It was surprising to see fields of well-mowed grass, only to find out that nobody had a sprinkler system to keep it green!

On our plane flight home we flew into Houston and saw the recent flood damage from the air. We had a tandem landing with another plane, where we both came into separate runways at the same time.
