And here are some extra's from our trip down south. The kids did so wonderful on the plane rides. They were awesome, and the trips went smoothly.
Thank goodness for modern technology:
This little princess took naps on our bed the whole time we were there. It took me a while to wean her of that one when we got home! :) I went in to check on her one day and found her like this on our bed; it's a rough life! :)
One never knows what one will find in grandma's attic. Hence the lion hat!:)
We were there a week without anyone else there. I have never been down to Ben's parents house when it's been just us. It was a little bittersweet. On the one hand it was great to be the only ones there to spend one on one time with them, but on the other hand, it was kind of sad to be all alone in the big house with no cousins to play with. Especially on the days that both grandma and grandpa had to go back to work! Both of them work so hard to be able to spoil their grandkids the way that they do and we are so grateful for them and all of their hard work!
We got spoiled by being taken to lunch and dinner, and one day we went to a Mexican restaurant. I don't know if they believed me how Taylor eats the salsa by the spoonfuls, but sure enough, she did just that while we were there! Silly little lady!
We went and visited grandma at work one afternoon and brought her lunch. She is the head librarian at a private school in Montgomery. Her library is so beautiful! Taylor had fun playing at her desk.
We also got to go to the zoo.
Ben made a new friend while we were at the zoo. This Rhino came right up to him and Ben fed him this branch (shhhh...don't tell anyone!). Then he kept coming back for more and more!
Then sadly, it was time to head home. I bought these window clings on the after Christmas sale at Target. Best .20 cents I've ever spent. It kept them entertained for hours on the plane! :)
Both kiddos looking out the window...
Another great purchase, .50 cents worth of foam stickers, also at the after Christmas clearance at Target. These were a great time passer as well...
Once we were home I was a little overwhelmed with all of the cleaning and laundering I had to do, and I think Taylor had the right idea:
I found her like this the day after we got home. It seems we were all feeling the same! :)
