We survived our 1st trip with 2 girls!!! (But just barely)
Let me rant first about the plane rides though....
We took off from Seattle (my mom watches our dogs) 2 1/2 hours LATE, due to
a crazy wind storm in MN. While waiting in the airport, they told us to go to the wrong gate. So we here this call "final boarding to MN from Gate S15", well we were at S5. We book it across the terminal and tell them that some lady going to MN was in the bathroom and may not have heard. They waited about 15-20 min for her and she finally made it, but then we had to sit on the runway for 20 minutes. Arrived at 2 am with all Jer's family worried sick about us!
As for the ride home....we arrived at the airport 1 1/2 hours early, noone was in line. Then discovered that their computers were down, so we wait and wait. They start calling people whose flights were leaving the soonest and manualy checked them in. Then they put us in lines, Seattle was on the far end. So we drag our kids, carseats and big bags to the end......to then get stuck at the END of the line, when we were FIRST! I was fuming!!! By the time we got checked in and ran through security, we heard "final boarding call for Seattle!" Just made it! WORST TRIP EVER!!!!! (not the time in MN, just to and from) Now on to the pics....
Ava got some new hats from a relative there.

fun stuff they could do together and made up fun games.
Terry became Ava's secret Cinderella who would hide toys and candy under her pillow!
Ava came to expect it ALL the time, she was constantly checking her pillow.
Thanks Terry for entertaining her so much!!!

Wow that does sound like horrible traveling! At least you had fun in MN. Fell better soon!
It looks like you had a great visit with family but traveling with kids is really hard sometimes especially when things don't go smoothly. Sorry you had to go through such a "run around" are the airports. At least you had your husband there with you to help out and you weren't by yourself. That would have put an end to traveling days with kids for me.
You should look up the video "Everything is amazing and nobody is happy." Your travel story made me think of that, and I think it's so true AND funny (the video is funny, not your story. just to be clear.)
Anyway, glad you are all home safe and that you had a good time. I think Ava's tongue kept coming out in the Halloween post because she was just so excited! I love how easily you can pick up on her personality just by looking at her pictures! And Mya was THE most adorable spider I have ever seen!
