Meagan Heads Back to Portland

Meagan headed back west on Friday, August 5th. We had a lot of fun having her here. We hadn't seen her in almost 2 years, so it was a visit long over due! I believe Chase really enjoyed having her here the most, he had a new playmate. Meagan and Chase read books, played on his playset, rode bikes and played pretend together. On Thursday we all managed to get out of the house and went to the zoo. I am afraid that Anthony slept through most of it. Chase had fun feeding the goats and fish. Aunt Meagan took Chase on the train and let him pick out a toy in the gift shop. He picked out a turtle. I didn't even know he liked them! That Thursday night we went to Cheddar's for dinner. Meagan really liked the restaurant when she lived here. On the way there we were joking around saying, what if they changed the menu and didn't have the chicken and potatoes she really wanted. Well, it turned out they had changed the menu! We still stayed and had dinner, but she was disappointed.

Then Friday afternoon Eric and Miranda hit the road, and headed to Omaha. They made great time and got Meagan dropped off. Fifteen minutes later Miranda gets a call from Meagan. Her suitcase is 16 lbs. over the weight limit. So they turn around and head back to the airport. Miranda had an extra bag for Meagan to use as a carry on. So Eric had to keep looping around the airport, because the cops wouldn't let him stop. The airport wanted him to pay a dollar to park. They were only going to be there for a minute, so he kept on driving. Meagan finally got situated, and she was able to fly home.
