Jet lag?

 And.......we're back, sigh. All is well, just a case of something similar to jet lag, tiredness, the feeling of being cold and not able to warm up. Safe and sound is always a good thing, there is a lot to do too! Laundry is done, house is clean, kids were happy to go back to school and now for some spring projects that I have been excited to start.

These are some of the last photos that I took while we were waiting for our flight because we checked out of our hotel, we traveled up to a town called Paia. It was a cute little town and the scenic overlooks. The wind was a whippin' and it made for some amazing kite surfers as well as just the regular kind.
All of the flights home went better than I expected, Ben was happy and that is a good sign. He hates waiting in airports and I don't {mind} it, I don't love it but it is okay. We were going to try 5 flights Sunday night and we made the 4th one, they were only 45min to 1 hour apart so it wasn't bad. We did get very lucky at first they said they only had 5 seats and ended up having 6 so we all made it, and then out of LAX we sat through 2 flights and made the 3rd. Thankfully it was on a SkyWest flight and so we get better priority and we all made it on!! I thought it was going to be much worse, (as in staying the night in hotels and trying for days) we ran into some people at the airport that were traveling on someone "buddy/companion pass" and they had been trying for 4 days to get home....what a nightmare!!
Kids are peeling, they look like they have a skin "condition". Overall glad to be back, back to the chilly spring here in Utah and looking forward to school being out in a little more than 30 school days!!
BRING ON SUMMER!!
