Passports and Paradise Island

Ok...so, Brandon and I decided to go on vacation with my sister and her family the first week in March. We are taking the girls and ALL their gear...I can't believe that we really signed on for this! Ainsley will have her own seat in the airplane and we (I) get to hold Amelia the whole flight! Amelia's new trick is to whine at the top of her lungs until she gets what she wants. It works, but is extremely annoying. I hope that for the sake of the other passengers we're at the very front or back of the plane. She has a temper that rivals no other! So, March 1st we will head off to the Atlantis resort in the Bahamas and pray that we make it in one piece! Since we're going to the Bahamas, we had to get the girls a passport. It was an interesting experience taking the pictures...Ainsley's "photo session" lasted about 10 minutes. She acted shy and wouldn't look at the camera. After much pleading from me, I finally bribed her with candy. She took a picture that looks like she's an inmate at Lew Sterrett downtown! Amelia looks cute...but at her age she's easier to manipulate! So off we'll go on our first "official" family vacation--an experience that I'm sure will be very similar to the Griswald's trek to Wallyworld!
