airport

so on our flight out to san diego, it is a good thing we had so much time at the airport! we got close on the freeway, and both kids needed to go to the bathroom! so, i grabbed the carry-ons and stroller and joe dropped us off at the departure gates and parked the car. we met up in front of the ticket counter, but he didn't have our checked bags! so we all walked all the way back to the car and got them. we were about to get back on the elevator and we realized we forgot the car seats!!

don't worry, we made it through security and to the gate without any more problems. that is, until the attendant tells me that the plane is delayed an hour and half! luckily for me, there was a play area at our gate, and the kids did fine. getting on the plane was a little different, cause jessy's car seat wouldn't fit in the row we were assigned, so we had to switch! besides being up for 2 hours on the flight, they did really good!

mom tip: fruit snacks work really well on take off and landing, cause they're so chewy that they have to keep swallowing and popping their ears and the little sack lasts for the whole take off!

coming home was very smooth. no problems. here are some pics of the kids in the airport and on the plane. they went to sleep much faster this time, they were already used to flying. jessy didn't want to wake up when it was time to get off the plane though, but once they saw daddy- they were awake!

we took red-eyes both ways, and i'm glad we did. it worked out really well!


i probably looked so silly walking through the airport with all this stuff and the kids!
