MINNESOTA!!!!!

So my sisters and mom thought it would be fun to take a girls trip for my mom's 60th birthday!!! We went back and forth on where to go and my mom decided on NYC!! We booked our tickets and found a hotel and were getting super excited!! THEN...the big storm (I think it was Sandy) that hit NY and the East coast and did so much damage hit and it there was so much damage to the area that we decided to postpone the NYC trip and book something else. Since we still wanted to go to NYC next year (since we already booked our tickets and we could just rebook within a year) we decided we would pick somewhere that wasn't going to be too expensive and we decided why not the mall of America!!! WOOP WOOP!!! A few days of shopping in on place with my favorite ladies sounded delightful to all!!!

A day or two before we left for SLC to catch our flight, Kate, got sick with some sort of flu. :( We couldn't not go!!! Luckily she started feeling a little better, better enough to go.:) YAY!!!!! So, to be funny we all showed up with masks on so we wouldn't get sick!! HAHAHAHA we are so funny!! 

We got to SLC and we were flying first to Denver and then to Minniapolis on Frontier air. Well we sat on the airplane for like 7 hours. Lame. They said we could get off the plane but it seemed like we would be leaving soon so I just stayed put and made friends with our neighbors. My wonderful sister Heather went out so Hansen wouldn't get bored and bought me the best breakfast burrito I have ever eaten in my life. I was so starving it was rediculous. Needless to say we missed our connecting flight from Denver to Minniapolis and spent the in Denver, without our luggage. boo. BUT since we weren't in a big hurry we made the most of the situation and had a really fun time sitting in the airport and then going to the hotel and chillin' out and having giggling fits.

We are sitting down eating some food right after we found out our luggage went on with out us. These gals are not letting it get them down!

 Our airport picnic!!

Aunt Erin and Hansen

yikes! Someone should tell Aunt Erin to take a shower!!! To make matters worse, we ordered chineese food into the hotel and I was pulling the food out of the bag, I didn't know Kate's had a bunch of liquid terryaki sauce in the container and spilled it all down the front of me. Yes, down the front of the same clothes I had been wearing for over 12 hours and would continue to wear them the very next day after I slept in them. It was a very smart move!!! We laughed VERY hard at that one!!!! I also smelled great the next day!!! HAHAHAHAHAHAHAH oh man! just one of the many great memories/things that went wrong on this trip!!!!

So Indi was a little stinker for her mother everytime it was time for bed. This is a picture I took when I was told I needed to act like I was asleep, she was wide awake playing all by herself over there!!! We were laughing so hard!!! 

Awe!!! aren't they cute!

Indi, being a little stinker again!

Kate tried this little unit for the first time ever!! It lasted about 10 minutes. hahahaha!!!!

This mall was awesome!!!! So enormous!!!

Hansen was an angel baby the whole time!!

AAAAAHHHHHHH BIg goot was at the mall!

This is what Hansen would look like as a girl. :) pretty cute!

HAHAHHA Indi had been a little shit for her mom most of the time so Kate thought she would be better in the back seat of the pick up with Joey and I so she would forget Kate was in the car and want out. Well at the gas station I wanted to get her a treat to keep her quiet and I found a sucker!!!! Well it was the messiest thing ever and I was warned that it was my responsibility to clean her up because I wanted to give it to her. Well, I have learned my lesson!!! 

But it did keep her quiet and happy for a long time!!!!

Thanks ladies for the fun and unforgettable trip!!! Can't wait for NYC 2013!!!!! Hopefully we won't have as many problems in our travels! HAPPY BIRTHDAY MOM!!!!!!!
