And were off....Our first ever family trip by plane....whew...I felt like I could take a deep breath once we were finally through security! Getting a family of 6 ready for 8 days away is no small task...but we did it. This day had been a long time coming....6 months ago we bought tickets to visit Grandpa Ron and Grandma Mary in Las Vegas and then continue on to their house in Pasadena for a few days also with a stop at Edwards AFB to visit some good friends along the way, and then on to a few days spent at Disney also.
Here we are...I guess we were quite the sight because there was a large Japanese tour group in the airport also....and one lady in particular came over, sat 4 chairs away from us and just starting snapping pictures of us and then laughing......it was just a tad bit awkward...I was so tempted to get my camera out and start taking pictures of her right back.....
The kids all ready to go....All the girls have flown at least once in their life as a baby.....but this was a first for Eli (not that any of the girls remember it).....so the anticipation was building.
Eric and I were both a little unsure how Eli would do.....he can have a tendency to freak out in uncertain situations...and although he was a little nervous as we took off....in the end he LOVED it!
Were here....Grandpa Ron and Grandma Mary's condo in Vegas.....it was a very lovely place. (To nice for my rowdy crew if you ask me....) but we loved our time here.....
The view was AMAZING.....they are 3 floors down from the top......
The pool.....and it was heated...even better!
We spent the first afternoon parked poolside....swimming.
There were even some "noodle" spraying wars going on.....
Before dinner we spent some time at the putt putt course.....
And the view once it was dark....the Vegas Strip being just the West of them about 2 blocks. It was a great first day!!
