I'm bringing my bucket list with me so I can cross it off on the plane

The kids and I decided to fly to Arizona for a week since we were missing Matt and Lori and their family and we were so bored here at home.  I had some credit that I had to use on Allegiant by the end of the year and we found a great price on tickets so we decided to go for it.  It was so nice to fly from Provo to Mesa, both airports are so close to our houses.  Hallee was so excited to fly.  She had flying on an airplane on her bucket list so she brought it with her so she could cross it off on the plane. 
Mel and Amarie flew out with us.  We flew out on Saturday and Mel and Amarie stayed until Wednesday and we stayed until Sunday.  
The Provo airport is so small.  We walked right out to the airplane. 
Wyatt was a little nervous about flying when I first suggested it, but he got over that pretty quickly and was excited. 
Hallee was going to sit with me, but our row didn't have a window so she moved up a row with Caitlyn and Amarie so she could look out the window.
Mel and I sat behind the girls and the boys were across from us.
Hallee wanted to make sure her beanie boo had a good flight too!
Everything is so weird right now.  It is so weird that everyone is in masks.  I never thought I would take my boys around in masks, they look like a couple of hoodlums! Ha!
We were all so excited to be back in Arizona.  Matt and Lori both had to pick us up since there was so many of us.  Matt took the girls and Mel and me and the boys waited a minute for Lori who was picking up food for all of us.  
We had a full house!  Cody looked like he was in trouble over there all by himself.  Lori had so much good food for us.  Every meal was so good!
Five Below just opened near Matt and Lori so the girls were anxious to go shopping.  We went there almost every day.  It really is a great store.   
Mel and Lori got the girls some painting supplies so they came home and wanted to use them right away. 
Wyatt loves to work out in their gym.  He wanted me to spot him so he could lift some weights. 
These girls were so happy to be together again.  The older kids watched a movie in the pool that first night.
Sunday was a nice, relaxing day.  We had a great church meeting.  Later we watched Hamilton and I got a nice Sunday afternoon nap.  Lori made another great dinner that night!
Matt took Monday off of work.  It was so great to have three straight days with him!  Lori made pina coladas on Monday.  
The kids thought it was so fun to drink them out of pineapples.  
They were so good!  Hallee really missed Keith while we were there.  She wanted to call him all the time.  We all wished he could have been there with us.

Great pictures and how fun for Hallee to get to fly for her first time. It looks like you all had a great time and I'm sure Matt & Lori did take good care of you! Hallee told me about the pina coladas in the pineapple when I asked her what her favorite thing was so I know she enjoyed that.
