As the kids get older (and technology gets more and more portable), air travel thankfully gets less and less exhausting. The kids did very well on the flights to and from Orlando, other than a serious case of the wiggles for the boys. Gotta love DVD players, iPads and new sticker books!
Travel also get easier as the kids can haul their own diversions in their backpacks. Jimmy filled his backpack with almost every toy he keeps in his crib, so the kid looked like an Army Ranger bending beneath the weight of a huge rucksack through the airport. The kids also love pulling rolling suitcases, which came in handy when we had a zillion pieces of luggage to haul. One of these days I’m going to learn how to pack light!
Once we arrived, we had a joyful reunion with our Arizona relatives, who joined us on vacation. We started off our week of restaurant eating with a trip to the always-delicious Macaroni Grill. Fortunately, the tired kiddos were entertained by a balloon man who spun elaborate stories about every animal he made.
We loved getting to spend time in the resort pool – a fun treat for my water-loving family!
