Spring Break part 2
We had to wake up super early in the morning to get to the airport. We were flying standby and we had to be in California the next day for the Music Teachers National Association Annual Conference that the pianists at Weber were presenting at. Anyway, we flew out of Des Moines with no problems. There were tons of open seats on the flight. However, when we got to St Paul/Minneapolis we were in the airport for a long time. There were several flights that they called our names on but there was only one seat on the plane left. We knew the flights around 7 and 9 had tons of open seats on them so we knew we would get out of there in time for our presentation. We ended up watching Bedtime Stories, eating, reading, and playing games on the computer. I really believe we did not get on a flight all day because of my parents driving home. They were driving in a blizzard. There were several times they had to call us to ask us what the roads were like up ahead. Once they were on clear roads and out of the blizzard, we got on a plane. I truly believe it was a blessing in disguise at the moment. It was frustrating then, but it looking back it was definitely a blessing. We finally got to Cali and our best pianist friend Zoe came to pick us up. We had a dress rehearsal right when we get there at 8:30 at night. The rehearsal didn't end til 10:30, which as 12:30 IA time. We were so tired from waking up at at 5 in the morning and then not getting to bed til 1 (IA time which we were used to).
The next day was our presentation involving dancers. It was so much fun! As soon as we were done we went to Disneyland!!! We had so much fun! It was not crowded and we got a super good deal on our tickets! We hopper tickets and got to ride every ride we wanted (except Thundermountain Railroad which was closed and being renovated). We really enjoyed Disneyland. Neither of us really like Disneyland we think it's overrated, but we had tons of fun since it wasn't super crowded. Cars Land was SO AWESOME!!!!!!!!! That was by far my favorite part! We went at night and it was all lit up in the Neon just like in the movie. And the ride in Cars Land was even better! I was smiling the rest of the night because of it! It wasn't intense or anything, it was just so cute!
The next day we drove home with Zoe and her boyfriend. That was also tons of fun! We really like both Zoe and Jake!

Spring Break part 1
Our Spring Break was so fun! But very busy! We left on March 6 to drive to Davenport, Iowa with my parents. Wyoming was so boring and SO LONG! We did stop at Little America Hotel to get ice cream cones though! So that helped! My parents were lucky and got to sit in the back and watch movies for once! They kept joking that we were the Mom and Dad and they were the kids since we were the ones driving. We drove to North Platte, NE the first day and stayed the night there. We found a super great deal with that though because our continental breakfast was a free breakfast at a diner next door. It was super great!
The next day we drove the rest of the way through NE and IA. There were really cool migratory birds in NE that were fun to watch! There were TONS of them! My dad especially loved them! NE and IA were full of corn fields! I'm sure during summer it is super pretty and green.
We really like IA. We got there on Thursday and had dinner. We went back to our hotel that night and played games. It was so fun! I love when my dad plays games with us! Friday morning we drove around the area to look around. We also met with some ward members there and talked with them. They told us about the area and the ward. Then we went swimming in our hotel pool and went to dinner. Saturday was the big important day. We went to see the Mississippi River that morning. It was raining so it was kinda cool. Then we were at Palmer College of Chiropractics for a school tour day. I was feeling sick so that was not fun! The school was really cool though. We had interactive classes and lunch and free chiropractics while we were there! That was the first time I had ever been to the chiropractor and it was so nice! We then drove to Des Moines that night cause Collin and I then had to fly from the Des Moines Airport to California while my parents drove back home.
