This was our first family vacation in a LONG time, and I can't wait to do it again...maybe next week. The kids were great and it was nice to just sit, relax, enjoy and not have all the normal distractions of life. I will NOT miss bundling the kids up to play in the snow. I will NOT miss the kids getting in the car taking off their jackets and boots just as we pull up to where we are going and I have to get them redressed. I will NOT miss the mess the snow made EVERYWHERE. I do not envy those who live in the snow...I am an Arizona girl through and through. One week a year is PERFECT!!!
I loved playing games as a family.
The kids loved "their" loft space...they played the Wii, watched movies, played games, colored and were mostly just happy...what more could you want?
Dax especially loved when we bundled him all up for the snow...no wonder he hated going out there, he couldn't move...
Hadyn loved playing on the stairs,
in the little niches, closets or any other little fun spot she could find.
Dax also LOVED the stairs...he would crawl up, we would carry him back down and then he would crawl back up...there was a baby gate but he would scream and scream if you blocked him from his entertainment. This child does not like to be fenced in...he NEEDS his freedom.
Vacations are always fun...but it is always good to come home. After a long drive home it felt SO good to walk in our door. I walked in with the first load from the car, took one look around the house in complete shock...my house was SPOTLESS. I honestly don't remember how I left it (nor do I want to) but, I know it was not THAT clean. At first I was embarrassed but then as the night wore on I was just extremely grateful! I will forever be indebted to the cleaning club!!

What a great trip! Your pictures are looking awesome btw! I googled those pettiskirts and I am in love. We have to figure out a a way to make them!!!
The only thing I remember is " how could you leave your house like this?" come from someone with no kids who has never had to pack everyone and get out the door for a week.
It looked completely normal for the rest of us that have attempted that before.
