We took a trip. Just the girls and I to Colorado. It was awesome, but honestly I think I lost 5 pounds nervously awaiting the flight there and back. Alone. With 2 toddlers. We left on a Tuesday after nap time. Everything went well until we actually sat down on the plane. I mean, it was fine, but Izy did not want to sit still and Jac did not want to buckle her seatbelt. Good times! Through the course of the 2 1/2 hour plane ride we went through an entire thing of puffs, a fruit cup, chicken nuggets, 2 drinks, a TV show, books, baby dolls, rattles, 2 nuks, and 2 blankets. Oh and a trip to the bathroom just to stretch our legs. Whew! But we made it! While we were there, we spent lots of time hanging out with the family. The first day there we went over to Focus on the Family where there is a really fun play place for the kids. They loved it!
Grandma bought some fun toys to keep us entertained at the house...
My brother had a tournament game while we were there. I made the girls special shirts...since they are his most loyal fans! It was a heart breaker loss in which Ben hurt his knee. No good at all!
Papa tried to take Izy for a ride on the 4 Wheeler. Not a fan!
The day after Ben's game we discovered Izy had an ear infection and I had some sort of illness...probably strep throat. So, needless to say we did not leave the house much after that. We did manage to get in a family trip to the bowling alley. Jac missed her preschool bowling field trip in order to go to Colorado, so we had to "make it up." She was actually somewhat into it and definitely enjoyed it!
Izy even got in on the action...
I felt more prepared to tackle the plane ride home. Well, that is until we woke up at 6 AM to catch our flight and realized after we had arrived at the airport and unloaded everything that we were 4 hours EARLY!! AHH! We made it though...only a small security mishap and a strapping in of the car seat in the wrong seat accident. But Izy slept the whole way after screaming literally blood and murder for 10 minutes (the longest 10 minutes of my life I might add!).
Jac cracked me up the whole plane ride...she could not figure out the head phones. She had to hold them up to her ears in order to listen!
And then she was being a complete cheese ball with her drink...
I think I have officially become a parent though...the joy of my trip is judged by the survival of the transportation there and back. I would do it again though. Mom, Dad, and Ben...you are worth it! I miss you like WHOA and love you so!
