The last few days of our vacation were as awesome as the first. We had great weather, great company, great food and great fun.
The only person missing from our usual Mexican itinerary was HOLA (Jorge), Maggie's favorite employee at El Dorado. They told us when we arrived that he was out hurt, but would be back before we left....that didn't happen. Maggie was very worried about him and asked different people everyday if they knew how he was....on the last day of our vacation, 2 wonderful people arranged for Maggie and Hola to talk on the phone...Thank God! You could immediately see the relief on her face, she was truly worried about her friend. I think he was glad to hear from her too. It was fun.
The girls did awesome on the way home. Our flight was totally sold out, so my mom came to the airport and helped me get the girls checked in, through security, etc., then we headed off for Dallas and a few hours later she headed for Salt Lake. Grace was her usual go-go-go self but there was no screaming, no fits and no kicking the seat in front of her (thank goodness for the gate agent who moved us to bulkhead seating). Grace was riding on my back in a baby backpack, in Dallas, she announced that she had peed on me...I clarified whether she had peed or needed to pee, she responded with "we wet". We were both a bit sweaty so I didn't know what to believe. I decided to just go ahead and get to the gate and then deal with it. Thankfully when I got her down and checked, she hadn't peed, when I asked about it, she just laughed and headed for the bathroom.....oh so Gracie!

| Grandma is brave, pink and glitter! I sent this picture to my dad, his response was "I don't remember her finger nails being that big." :) |

| "Patience Shakira, patience!" |
 |
| "Ok, now you can have it." |
 |
| Crazy 8's, anyone? |
 |
| The girls wanted to wait for the car, apparently they were more ready to leave then I was. |
 |
| Next time I decide to get my kids ring-pops, in an attempt to bribe them to be quiet on an airplane, I'll check to make sure I have more then 1 wet wipe in my bag. Lesson learned! |

| STICKY MESS!!! |
 |
| .....and we all made it home! |
It was really nice to get home and see Arnie (and Reagan). Not so nice to put back on socks and coats! Today it was back to real life...I miss the beach!
A couple of videos....
