This was Adam's first time on a plane and as with all things new and exciting he never stopped talking and asking questions. He was fascinated to sit by the window and watch as we went through the clouds. On the second leg of the trip he had a seat all to himself and spent the entire hour and a half talking to the person behind him, a flight attendant bumping a ride. When we finally got there her final words were " boy he sure asks a lot of questions".
Well we arrived a Kari's safe and sound and with all our luggage and we spent the first day hanging out and building forts in the backyard. Going to parks, fishing, hiking and a visit to our new house (Biltmore) were all on the agenda.
Everyone point to you room. Yes this is a very big house 175,000sqft to be exact. In the height the property covered 125,000 acres or 195 sq miles.
This is the farm that is on the estate the kids got to learn all about the farm and how it ran in the old days. They also got to hold a chicken, not just any chicken but a blind chicken, yes that is right this chicken is blind and as a result it does not know that it is a chicken. The chicken spends most of the time hanging out with the goats, about 6 months ago one of the goats stepped on the chickens leg and broke it. Now my first thought when that happened would have been to grab a can of soda and some paprika and fire up the BBQ. I guess they have a little more heart than me because they took it ot the vet and paid $600 to have a cast put on. Yes $600 to cast a CHICKEN LEG.
Easter Sunday was great and as always everyone looked wonderful.

Easter Sunday and Matt, Kari and Hannah all had to speak in church. You all did a great job and I am impressed that you were able to write your talks even with a house full of guests. I guess that when you stay up until 3:00am you get some free time. Kari and Matt thanks for a great time.

That is funny. I was thinking the same thing about the luggage Sara. It sure looks easy to spot when at the airport as well. Thank you for posting the photos Sean. It is great seeing everybody this way. I feel so out of touch from everybody. Make the next vacation to Maui :-)
