50 Degrees Warmer Part 3

The exciting conclusion of our Mexican vacation starts on Sunday. Now when we booked this trip the thought of it being conference weekend never entered my mind. Not only that but until the Sunday before we left I didn't think of it, so going to conference was a challenge. They do have one room setup for English speaking, that is how Britt watched the Priesthood session the night before. So the plan was to go to the 10 o'clock session and watch, then I realized that my sweet adorable girl is a completely different when she is asked to sit and be reverent. So Britt went and we stayed at the hotel, I will admit that I felt guilty the whole time and I feel like I really missed out. So I won't plan a vacation that prevents me from watching conference again. Usually our vacation goes by so fast and I am sad when we get to the last day but not this time. We felt like we had an extra day for some reason.

Sunday 8 AM We woke up and made the decision that Britt should go without us to conference. So he ate, showered and ran to catch the bus. Weird to have to catch a bus to go to church, but it was way to far to walk, three times as far as we have ever walked when we are there. Ok so the girl and I just went for a walk by the ocean while he was gone and then we did whatever Britt wanted since it was his birthday. We just sat in the pool and played in the ocean. Now Alexis is no longer afraid of the ocean. She was counting one, two, three go and running in, she was playing so cute and then this: Video to come soon

So anyways we went to Ernie's Tomato for dinner and had awesome food. We also went and found a Geo cache that was across the street from our hotel. After that we went back to the hotel and put Alexis to bed and then talked, I crashed and Britt watch TV until 1:30. Alexis then decided that sleeping is for the birds and woke up at 3AM she didn't go back to sleep until 4 something. She even tried to get me to wrestle her like daddy does. I finally got her to go to sleep though.

Monday 7AM Why is she awake so early after such and crazy night. Well we finished up our packing and where down in the lobby waiting for our shuttle at 9:30. We got to the airport and got checked in; in Mexico they hand search all bags even check in. So while we waited to board the plane Alexis wondered the terminal. She found a girl who had a rolling bag and kept wanting to pull it around(of course we wouldn't let her and she cried). When we got on the plane she was asleep by take off! Yeah and she slept the entire flight until we got to LA. Now here is the sad story there was a medical emergency on the plane and so things where crazy getting of the plane and we left 101 Dalmatians on board. I will give you a second to dry your eyes over this tragedy. It really is sad because it is Alexis favorite movie. So anyways, we cleared customs and did the LA airport mess. While waiting to board our plane Alexis walked around and around. This flight was the nightmare, I thought we were getting by way too easy, Alexis had already filled her diaper on the first flight so I thought we were on easy street, hahaha she laughs. Diarrhea strikes and well it leaks onto my pants. Yuck, yuck, yucky good thing the plane had a changing table. So I think she had a major stomach ache because when I was done changing her she screamed for 15 minutes. We finally got her to calm down with a video but she would not wear the head phones so we turned it down low and hoped people would rather hear the movie instead of a screaming child. Apparently we were right because nobody complained. So we made it to Seattle...i know 15 minutes doesn't make it a horrible flight but remember I now have yucky pants(I recommend not only bringing a spare shirt but a whole outfit for mom and baby). Jenn came and got us from the airport and we hit McDonald's on the way home, I was starving. When we got home Shirley, Britt's mom, had our house all clean and a slice of cake with candles on waiting for Britt. Everything went good except for a minor run in with our alarm system. Alexis had fallen asleep on the way home and stayed asleep until 7 the next morning.
