The first of too many vacation posts

Mid winter break.  So much fun. 

 

The week began with a couple of days in Arizona with Big Papa and Umma.  This year, Daddy joined us!!

 

We boarded a plan and headed off on our adventure.  And, by the way, we're really glad we made our flight because there was a moment where Alexander leanred we didn't have seats and proceeded to cry and cry and cry because he never thought we were going to leave. 
If we hadn't made it on that flight, I hate to think of how things could have been.

 

I didn't take any pictures of Alexander when he saw his grandparents for the first time, but trust me, it was an epic greeting.  A lot of clapping, jumping up and down, and so many hugs. 

We started the long drive back to the house on wheels and were lucky enough to enjoy a firework show on the way.

 

Part of the deal for this trip was Alexander would stay in the house on wheels and we would stay in a hotel.  Our first night was at the local casino.

The best part of the casino was the pool.  One little boy was really excited about swimming.

 

The first 48 hours of vacation was off to a great start!
