Vegas

Mom, Blair, and I decided to surprise the kids this year and fly to Vegas for spring break.  They thought we were driving to St. George, so when we pulled in to park at the airport we told them that we were just stopping to go potty and that we had to ride on a bus for a little bit.  Brooke bought every word.  Cole started questioning immediately where we were and where we were going.  I was a little worried how he was going to react because he DID NOT want to get on an airplane.

We got checked in and checked all our luggage and by this time Cole had figured it out and was a little mad.  Brooke was still so confused and Bailee was just going along with it all.  We could have fooled Brooke all the way to the gate, but we finally told her as we were waiting in line for security.

Cole wanted to sit by me and hold my hand, but overall he did much better than I was expecting.  I thought we'd have a full-on Cole tantrum.  The girls thought it was all pretty awesome.  And it was SOOO much better than driving!!

We didn't do a whole lot while we were there --typical girl vacation -- we exercised and swam and shopped.  We stayed at South Pointe so everyday we had to go down and see what was going on at the horse arena.  That was Cole's favorite part.   The kids also got to each make a build a bear which they thought was pretty cool, they've never done that before.  We went bowling one day too.

The weather this year was much hotter than normal so it was actually really nice that we could lay by the pool without freezing.  It was so nice to get away from our normal schedule and enjoy the sun!
