Dominican Republic here we come!

Kailei got to choose where she wanted to go on vacation after her graduation.  Her requirement was that she could just sit and do nothing. That mean I could not have an agenda. :(  With that said, I thought an all-inclusive place would work. Somehow I narrowed the choices down and she chose the DR.  

We left today. Travel wasn't too bad and we are staying in Punta Cana. The resort is the Palladium Punta Cana and of course it is beautiful. We arrived and were welcomed with the "welcome drink" which was the best tasting drink ever (no alcohol). 

Anyway, the room was not quite what we expected.  Only one bathroom and the shower glass didn't leave much to the imagination for those in the room. We tried to get another room but had no luck.  All the rooms had that type of glass so when someone was showering, all others were outside.  We made it work.

The room had a loft which initially the girls thought would be great but Kailei had issues with the sound of AC (which I question
it even working) so she ended up sleeping in bed with Zeb and I most of the week. :)

I have to admit this place is HOT! Too hot for my taste but everyone else is enjoying it so far.

Miniature for Kailei

Kailei wanted me to do a miniature for her and of course I could not say no. She picked out this one (I forget the name). It was tiny but I'm happy with how it turned out and so is she.

Birthday Celebration

Our annual birthday dinner celebrated once again. Had a nice dinner at The Melting Pot. We ate outside this time. Love having a friend still from high school. She has put up with me all these years.
 

Just more pics of the critters

Advice cards written out to Kailei
















 

Graduation!

She did it!!! 18 years of hard work brought her to this day. We are so proud of her. The graduation was the DU Richy event center and we were limited to fifteen tickets but most of the family got to come.  I think my favorite part was Kailei singing a solo part in the song that her choir performed.  Kailei was a nervous wreck performing in front of so many but she did great.

The day was beautiful. After graduation we had a brunch in Parker for those that could join us. Kailei preferred this to party.  Food was good and memories were made. 

A great day for us all.

Birthday

Love me some ice cream cake for my birthday. Always chocolate cake with mint chocolate chip ice cream from Baskin Robbins. Who says getting older sucks?  

And of course the candy flower created by my husband. He knows me well.
