Well, we should have been in Mexico this week... but I guess it just wasn't in the cards for us! We were totally prepared! Santa made a surprise visit early and brought the kids one of their presents that he thought they might like on the plane/trip. Santa was a little messy and left some snow in the house!
The surprise gift was a leappad for each of the kids! Super fun stuff! As you can see in some later pictures, they did come in handy... just not so much on planes! Although we spent part of Friday and about 13 hours in the airport on Saturday waiting for flights, the kids did outstanding! Here they are playing around.
Then they were chillin', playing with their Leappads.
Here is our family, wishing that we were actually getting on a plane!
At one point they were going to fly us to Denver on Saturday, Houston on Sunday, and then Mexico on Monday... but our flight out of Great Falls to Denver never went. That was kind of our turning point... It seemed like maybe spending 4 days in airports just to get there was too much.
So, we went to a hotel that night, and the kids had an amazing time playing in the pool!
Then we went to a movie and had a great time... and today we went out rabbit hunting! So, we are doing our best to make lemonade out of these lemons!
Here are Dane and Clint planning a stalk on a wily rabbit!
Success! But in all honesty, I can't actually claim any of these fine rabbits! This was all Clint! Nice work!
Not only did we have a really nice time, but it also was a beautiful evening to be out!
