Our trip home to Utah

So we looked and looked for deals on flights and someone told us about the southwest "Ding". Which is really useful. You sign up for it and every time you get on the computer and there is a deal out for southwest it gives you a little ding, and up pops the list of deals. So we found a deal for right after the 4Th of July which we thought would be prefect since everyone would be done traveling from the holiday and it wouldn't be packed. Our flight to leave Portland was at 6:45 am on a wed morning. So we figured we would be fine leaving our house at 5:45 getting there a little before 6. Well we were wrong! The line to check luggage was huge only for southwest of course since they have stellar deals out. But we finally got threw it with 20 min to spare so we hurry to find our terminal but forgot about security... I don't know if Portland's airport is always slow or what but that took forever too. so we are going threw security and of course Sam forgot to lay the laptop down so they had to run it again, then we check where we are supposed to be and start speed walking. We are about halfway there and this lady yells at us are you going to salt lake? if you are you better run cuz we are shutting the gates. So we take off running and get there at 6:44 just in time for take off... I am never going to get to the airport with less then an hour before the flight again!


So we get off the plane and we get to see cute Elli and Lichelle waiting for us waving the welcome home sign for us! So fun. We got to do so many fun things. Play with Brad and Sean.. Brendans birthday party. A party for Sam with all our friends. Lagoon twice, once with Andersons and once with Thackers. Girls day where we gave each other pedicures and face masks. We got to go boating on Papas boat, then break Papas boat(not so fun, and hopefully we can fix it or get a new one!). Play fun games and go on hikes. Go swimming in the Murdocks pool. And we also got to sleep over at everybodys house's. I didn't get to many pictures but here are a few. It really was a sweet trip! Thanks to all of our wonderful families:)



And just so you all know this is how the flight home went. We got there with just over an hour to spare and of course it was completely dead. Got threw checking in about 2 min and then security maybe 5 so we had a long nap before the flight. It always goes like that! I for sure take being early and have to wait over running and stressing and almost missing our flight!
