I don't have pictures of the funeral yet but I do have some pictures of Natalia because she went with me. Great Grandpa Drake passed away and we will all miss him so much. Jessica and I (along with Natalia, because she is free to fly) went to Medford for about 1 and a half days. It was quite the adventure. We started by driving to boise to catch our first plane. When we got there we found out that our plane was delayed by and hour because of weather in Salt Lake. Well, that was kind of a problem since that would make it nearly impossible to catch our flight to Medford if our plane was even a minute late. Jessica told the lady that we couldn't miss that flight for a funeral and she was nice enough to change our flight to one that was leaving in 20 minutes. We got our tickets whent through security and literally ran through the air port with Natalia and our lugage to get on our plane. We made it 10 minutes before they started boarding. Natalia was such a good sport and we were tired by the time we got over there. We had a nice flight to Salt lake and Natalia loved the window on the plane. It was also really nice that no one was sitting next to me so she got to have her own seat once we took off and I didn't have to hold her. When we got to Salt Lake we had alot of time. We went and found our gate and then let Natalia play in one of the play areas in the airport. We were in Salt Lake what would you expect. It was really good that we took the earlier flight because there is no way that we could have made it on time. It took us 40 minutes to get to that gate from the other and that was with Natalia walking for some of it. We would have had to spring across the airport and there is no way I could have done that with Natalia. We got into Medford and My dad and grandpa were there to pick us up. Natalia had slept on the plane and was kind of out of it but was happy to see her grandpas. When we got to the house my grandma had some moose munch for me. I love that stuff.
The funeral was nice and it was good to see all our family in the church together. Someday it will always be like that but until then it was nice to see. We had a long day of funeral stuff and then we went to Harry and David. I love that place and all my truffles I got are allready gone. I need to go again.
Thursday we got to do the plane thing all over again. Our plane from San Fransisco to Boise got loaded and then unloaded because the electricity wasn't working. People were so mean. It was so frustrating to hear them chewing out the lady like it was her fault. The plane was packed. There wasn't a single open seat on the plane. I origianlly had some guy next to me and asked if he would switch with my sister so that Natali could climb on both of us. It was crazy. When we got off the plane we went and got our final Dutch Bros. before we headed back to no mans land. We were off and Natalia cried the whole way home. It sucked.

I'm sorry about your Great Grandpa. It's not the best reason to get to visit with family is it. I can't believe how big Natalia is. She is so pretty!
