Tahoe We Go

Blake has to work in Lake Tahoe for a week and they suggested he bring his family along.  Well how do you say no to that?  The kids have a short day on Thursday and no school Friday or Monday so the stars aligned just perfectly and I am always game for a vacation!
Blake takes good care of us and worries enough to not want me to drive through unfamiliar canyons in the winter.  So he booked us flights and called my mom and told her to come too.  He would already be there and get the grocery shopping done before we came.  How exciting!

Blake left on Monday and we decided not to tell the kids until closer to leaving.  I told the kids we had something special for them for Valentines day.  It would mean they had to miss their school parties but I thought it would be worth it.  After a little thought on their parts they agreed and got very excited.  Blake had taken their luggage with him when he left Monday so all they needed to do was pack their back packs with activities for the plane.
It wasn't until Thursday morning that they were super excited!  This little girl and her spunk keeps me laughing!  She was so happy to be on an airplane and be sitting in big seat!  She was saying Let's Go!  See Daddy!
Some how flying means that you can order any drink you want to.  Zane was most excited to get himself a coke.  The flight attendant looked at me for approval then came back and refilled it for him after he finished it rather quickly.

The ride went fast and Piper did a great job.  Only got restless about 15 minutes before we were landing.  She figured out how to undo the seat belt and didn't want to sit down any longer.
