So for the past several weeks we have been planning to go to Idaho Falls to visit Matt't family and some of our friends. It has been a long time since we have been there and we were really looking forward to the getaway. Before I quit Delta I saved 11 buddy passes and ticketed them in our names. They had a year expiration date on them and didn't expire until August. So we thought.....! We packed our bags, (which is not an easy thing), planned a fun week, woke up Monday morning at 5:00 am and drove to the airport. After waiting in line for almost an hour, being passed to 3 different agents, we were finally told that the policy changed and once you quit or are terminated your buddy passes are no longer valid. Lets just say we were all extremely dissapointed. I was crying, my kids were crying and Matt was pissed off! The only good news is that we will get fully refunded of the money we spent we weren't counting on having. We talked about buying tickets and going anyway but it would just be way to expensive last minute. So we drove across the street and had an outrageously over priced breakfast and contimplated what to do!
We decided we were just going to make it a fun filled week doing something different everyday! So we did! We had such a great week just being together with our little family. We were so sad to not spend time with Matts family and friends but we made the best of the situation! Here is the daily breakdown of what we did.

We love "Shampoo" around this house too!
My mouth just DROPPED when I read that!!! I feel so bad for you guys. But way to make lemonade out of lemons guys! You handled it great. Your vacation is something people like me PLAN for and you just pulled it off spur of the moment. Good job :)
We were so bummed, but looks like you had a blast! You wouldn't have gotten any use out of your short sleeve shirts or swimsuits, but hey you could have drank hot cocoa and shoveled snow. Jealous I know...By the way woman you are looking fabulous! And I think it would be hard to shake last summer in the pool. I think about it whenever we go swimming to. Miss you guys!
