So my sister Alecia made the awesome decision to serve a mission for our church. She will be gone for a year and a half to Indiana to teach people the joy of the gospel. I decided I wanted to see her again before she left, so Maggie and I took a trip to Utah. Maggie did really great on the plane. We talked about it a lot the few days before we left. So going was neat, she used her cane to feel all the different things in the airport and a bit of the airplane. She fell asleep about half way through the flight, so that made it even easier.
We were able to spend time with a lot of family, playing games and chatting. Maggie loves her aunts, I think mostly because they love her so much. I honestly didn’t see my daughter for the couple days we were there unless she was screaming or sleeping. We got to go to the fantastic dinosaur museum at Thanksgiving Pointe. 
Maggie had a great time, especially digging for dinosaur bones in the sand. Here she was picking it up and sprinkling it on her knee and laughing. She’s so funny!
We finally got a picture with her and her Jeffery Great Grandparents. They are always so kind to let us stay with them when we come visit. Someday I’ll grow up to be like them. Totally selfless and very family oriented.
After Alecia was seen off to the Missionary Training Center, my family drove Maggie and I back home. The kids are all on spring break, so they decided to finish it off in California; a good choice in my opinion. We stopped at Sutter’s Mill and did a bit of panning for gold. This is a huge passion for my dad, so he had a lot of fun. I even found a few tiny flakes! Maggie just had a fabulous time walking around in the gravel. She loves the sound, and picking up the small rocks.
Once home we did some touring of the city. Stopping at the beach, crossing the Golden Gate Bridge, 
and even venturing into a submarine!
All in all, Maggie was glad to be home again, and very glad to spend time with her Grandma Jeffery.
I love family.
