Part 2 of the Spring Break trip: the traveling.
We were on 4 different flights due to layovers both ways, which meant a lot of time to keep Anderson entertained confined to a seat that he could very easily unbuckle! He was so, so excited about the airplane, the big ship, all of the "trains" (shuttles), the fact that he didn't have to sit in a car seat in the Bahamas & ALL of the construction that we passed as we rode around the islands. The boy does love his transportation. He has a cute airplane shirt on for the ride. Love a theme.

We traveled to Orlando & spent the night before boarding the ship the next day, which happened to be St. Patrick's Day (happy birthday, Jeannie!). You know this boy loves his green, so this was a big day for him. It would have been even bigger had he not woken up at 4:30am as this put in him a Grumpy mood for a chunk of the day. But, not at this point! Love these guys:)
This super nice woman at Wendy's was super sweet & gave Anderson one of each of their kids' meals toys. (I will work the patch sympathy when I need to...) One of them was a "Create your own monster" kit! This, along with fruit snacks, m&ms, a bobcat & Brandon's ability to draw very detailed construction equipment allowed the passengers around us to not go crazy.
Waiting for our shuttle. I think we left with 20 little boxes of cereal. It's my hoarding gene.
In Nassau, having a GREEN snack, watching construction. Forget the fact that there was a view of the ocean on the other side. No, we had to watch the backhoe. Also, the green ice cream was pistachio almond. I kept trying to convince him to get chocolate but he actually ate almost a whole scoop of the green!
Just so you know, I am hiring you out for the next 10 family vacations. You will be in charge of keeping my kids entertained b/c I know that on the four hour trip to Jackson this week, Jack never looked as tickled as Anderson and Lily did in transit! I love the Waffle House pics! And the family photo of the 3 of you cracked me up. We missed you guys so much!
ReplyDeleteAfter looking at both posts... the pics of Anderson and Lily together just crack me up every time. They make me think of Easton and Azalea. The rough and tumble sandy brown haired boy with a patch hanging out with the adorable princess diva with dark brown hair. I've always felt like my two are very similar to your two, too cute!
ReplyDeleteTraveling with a child that needs very little sleep sounds exhausting. Awake at 4:30 AM.... AAAAHHHH!!!! You poor thing!
ReplyDeleteLove all of the pictures, and that you took a picture of a construction view and not the ocean. :) The things we give up for our children. But look at the things we gain.
Congrats on surviving that - the traveling is always the worst part of any trip with my kids. It looks like you were more than prepared, though. I hate that the only picture of the three of you is backlit.
ReplyDeleteThanks for the b-day shout out!!
