Our Little Seasoned Travelers

I must say that Shawn and I were both expecting the very worst in preparation for this trip. Shawn was scared sick all morning; I was afraid we wouldn't make it to the airport! And I watched the episode of J&K plus 8, where they took a plane ride with the kids, over and over and over, so I could get ideas from Kate on how keep control! But, WOW! What a relief! We were very pleasantly surprised and extremely relieved with the well-behaved bunch of boys we had on our hands. I didn't even have to break out any of my ninja-mommy tactics I had tucked away under my scarf. :)

The big boys munching on cheetos while waiting at the airport.
Baby Mikey quietly playing with his toys.

Mikey took to the flight so well! He looked like a grown little man with his headphones and neck pillow. (lol) And Isaiah can be kept occupied for hours, as long as he has his DS.

Even Baby Liam was having a grand time having the stewardesses swoon over him.
It seems that we underestimate how seasoned our boys are at traveling. They know the drill. Baby Mikey's now been to Arizona twice before he has even turned two years old! (I've only been the same two times and I'm 26! lol) There's also the plane trips to SoCal. But, the next test of their traveling abilities will be our flight to Hawaii (not to mention, our interisland flight to Hilo), which is more than 3x as long as this one to Phoenix. So, I won't get too excited until we survive that one!
