Florida? or Mexico? or Both (ha, ha)?

In June we got a great deal to take the family on an Mexican Rivera Cruise. We would fly out of Salt Lake into Long Beach on March 1st Cruise through the Mexican Rivera until March 8th (the kids only miss 2 days of school). The Cruise line is on the Carnival Pride. This ship was rated #1 for the kids club. My kids have never been on a cruise. What fun! But then....

My friend from college invited us to a week in Orlando, Florida at her parents Condo. A whole week at Disney World. All we have to pay is air fare & tickets into Disney World of course. The dates are January 3rd through the 10th (The kids will miss five days of school). The problem with this is air fare to Florida is expensive, although the condo does not cost us anything the air fare does and the food for the week (but the condo has a kitchen bonus and we would have to eat regardless Idaho Falls/Florida, right!) My kids have been to Disneyland but not to Disney World!

Both trips cost the same. What would you do? I am begging my husband to do both, but the problem is we just can't win the lottery (although I think you have to play to win, Bummer!)

Mr. Mom

My husband is amazing! While I went to Las Vegas for a Fitness Convention my husband took time off work and became Mr. Mom. The first day he had the kids he had not only Brooklyn and Connor but he had Kyla and Carson too. That means he had three seven year olds and a five year old for eleven hours. When I called to check on him he told me that the kids where playing and he was working on replacing the bark in the front yard (a major task that I had been dreading). The next day I called and he was cooking dinner... a roast. Yes, I said a roast... with potatoes and peas. O' my goodness! The next time I called him he was cooking dinner again chicken with rice and vegetables. O' my goodness! And he had finished the bark in the front yard and was now working on cleaning out the garage. That was the point I decided I should just stay in Vegas to see what other projects he would finish. If only! When I got home he had done the laundry and picked up the house. What a man! I decided that more trips are in my future...

Good Friends!

What makes a good friend? I think a good friend is someone who tells you how it is... honesty! That is why I think Emily Devries is my good friend. She told me flat out that I need to post more on my blog. She is right, I do! I will try to do better. I don't know how many times I think about things I would love to put on my blog, but most times the thought is all that happens. I am off to Vegas for a week. BUT when I get back I will try to put my thoughts into a post. Thanks, Emily for being a good friend!
