Off - Roading

(Warning: May contain alot of pictures!)

This weekend (3/6/09 - 3/9/09) we met Gregg's parents in Vegas for the weekend! We were a little nervous going on a long road trip with Hailee...it has been a long time since we have traveled by car with her...but she did great! She is such a good traveler! We watched movies, listened to her music, played with toys and even took a nap!
Once in Vegas, we stayed at our favorite place...The Cliffs at Peace Canyon! It was a 2 bedroom condo with all the amenities, and also a GREAT gym which I spent some time in on Saturday morning.
Saturday afternoon we went and hiked our favorite place....Red Rock Canyon! It was alot of fun and we can't wait to go back and do it again!

The Hike:
For about the first 15 minutes I had to carry Hailee. Then she finally agreed to go in the hiking backpack!


At top of the canyon! So beautiful!
Grandma and Grandpa HardyThe Condo:
Grandma Hardy gave Hailee a pair of sunglasses and she loved them! She kept making Gregg wear them too! It was so cute!

Our room had a walk in closet....which we turned into Hailee's room! The first night she slept GREAT!
The second night was not so great.... it was a looooong night! But she finally got comfy in her Daddy's arms!
The drive home went very well too. We left a little before nap time hoping she would fall asleep....
And once she got comfy......she fell asleep!
We had a great time and it was so nice to get away for the weekend!

Today, 3/10/09, Hailee started the day off with breakfast with Daddy....
Then off-roading she went with her dolly!

Then...what?!? Mommy's turn to take Hailee and Dolly off-roading and down the street!
Such fun times with this little girl of ours!

We have put Celah in a hotel closet before as well... and we didnt have much more luck than you! I was up ALL THE TIME! Vacations arent 100% unless you get sleep! But, we take what we can get I suppose.... glad you guys had fun!

She looks soo cute and she is getting soo big. Ella has the same stroller. She pushes it everywhere. In fact she wore out the first one so we had to buy her a second one for her birthday.

So jealous of your Red Rock hike, I loved that place SO MUCH and want to live right next to it to hike it all the time. But don't really wanna live there at the same time...
As for the off roading with the dolly, super cute and love that she decided it was her turn at the end, She cracks me up!
