We sure had fun with Jacob home.
We went to the temple in Nebraska, and saw all of the lovely spring bulbs.
And we went to St Louis; stopping at this park in a little town on the way. We didn't know there was anywhere that still had a merry-go-round.
We visited the St Louis Zoo
and saw the beautiful flowers there too.
Then we took a riverboat cruise on the Mississippi River.
We rode up the Arch and looked down on the city. 
Then we hiked up to the mouth of a cave (the entrance is gated or we would have gone in).
That day Camilla, also finally learned how to swim.Finally we came home and played in the backyard.
Camilla finally learned how to ride a bike,
and so did Hyrum.
On the day Jacob was supposed to leave, he missed his 7:30am flight (if you are not at the ariport 30 minutes early you don't fly, who knew) and they couldn't get him on a flight until 4:00pm. So, we went hiking again, except the kids rode their bikes, for 6 miles.
He returned safely to Iraq, and now we have the count down to him really coming home.

What a beautiful family you have--and how wonderful that your husband is serving our country so well! Tell him thanks from the Whitings for helping to keep us safe!
When does he come home? Bet those 2 weeks went by quickly for you guys. i honestly don't know how you do it Alison....It's hard enough for me when Jared gets home late- I don't know how you do it all the time and with 3 kids! Glad you had fun...maybe you should plan on him missing the flight again- that way you can spend more time together lol :)
Glad you guys had so much fun, thanks for taking Flat Stanley along on the adventure. Stay Safe Jacob!
It's so good to see a Daddy in those pictures! I'm glad you had such a good time together as a family, especially with your bonus day at the end.
Oh, and, thanks for the "cow poop" birthday card. I think about it at the most random times in the day, and it just makes me laugh all over again!
