Every year Maytag throws a big weekend convention. The guys are in meetings all day and the girls usually shop, eat, and shop:) The nights are filled with awards and fancy dinners. This year it was in Palm Springs! It was so much fun. We had a hard time working out schedules so that we would be able to leave our kids. We had planned on leaving Kylee at her friend Mallory's, and we were just going to end up bringing Brock with us. The morning we were supposed to leave, Kylee came into our room with glossy eyes and a fever!! I was so mad.
I swear you say the word California in our house and something always goes wrong. Seriously, it does. Anyway, so we just decided to bring both kids with us. It ended up working out really well because part of the hotel had a Nick Jr. theme. They had a slime contest one of the days out by the pool, the kids got to meet Dora and Sponge Bob.....for the record, I do not let either
of my kids watch Sponge Bob. I think it is the dumbest show, and a little crude for a 4 and 2 year old. They still enjoyed meeting him though. Kylee was so concerned that we were going to have to go to the bottom of the pool to meet him since he lives "under the sea" lol it was so
cute. The night before she kept asking where he sleeps and how we were going to find him. Capital Hill always sponsors the free time on Saturdays and I always decide on the spa. Who doesn't love a fabulous massage that is free? That was the only "me" time I had on our
weekend get-a-way:) On Saturday we also found a really cool children's museum. They had a old car in the middle of the room that the kids could paint! It was the coolest idea. I decided some day when we have our Ranch....The Svancara Ranch that Mark and his brother Kevin talk about and probably have talked about since they were kids, that I want to do the same thing.
What a fun idea/activity for the kids. Genius! My fingers are crossed for a cool location next year, hopefully kid free:)

How FUN!!! I wanna go to the weekend convention with you next year :)
And I can't wait for your ranch!
I want a ranch to but you already knew that glad you had fun.
What's this? A Svancara Family Ranch? AWESOME. Totally coming over every chance we get to paint your car and ride your horses. Sounds like a dream come true!
Ok so for real you have to go to the children's museum with us next time in Phoenix. They boys love it. It looks similar to the one in Palm Springs, only instead of a car to paint they have a big kids castle. :)
haha! SO cute!!! I love that you got a vacay-- even though it wasn't a lot of "you" time-- a massage and a pool and such all sounds so nice! And Kylee's idea about SB on the bottom of the pool is about the coolest thing I ever heard. I love that kid- SO CUUUUUTE!
