We'll try and keep a daily account of our adventures this week, and post photos that may help tell our little stories.
Today we just used up on the journey from Oak Circle in Sandy to back here at the Marriott on the Newport Coast. It's always so nice to see the ocean.
We had a pretty good and tragedy-free (of the toddler variety) trip this morning. We hitched a ride with Pa to the airport, got help from a friendly sky cap with the three checked bags, two car seats, 3 carry-ons, and one stroller.
Once through the check in we made our way up to the terminal where we found our flight was 30 minutes late. We were banking on very minimal wait, time so we had to come up with 40 minutes of "keep the boys entertained." This is where we insert our two photos from the day:
Lennox and the green apple sucker that he held on to with an iron fist through the 40 minute wait and the ENTIRE 1 hour and 40 minute flight. He licked it once in a while, but mostly he just waived it around like a scepter. He was pretty good on the plane, for Lennox, but he did kick the chair in front of him enough to get the guy sitting in said chair to turn around and give him a bit of a talking to. Finally Lex moved over and say on Dad's lap for the majority of the flight. But no real tantrums or flip outs.
Oliver is there spotting planes out the window. Both boys love anything with wheels or that goes in the sky. The airport has many of those things. Baggage carts, helicopters, planes, etc. Oliver was as good as gold for the entire journey to our villa. He told the folks on the plane we were going up in the sky, to Califonia, and to the Ocean and to Disneyland. I had a nice couple from Ogden comment how well Oliver was behaving when we were standing in line for a short eternity for our rental car.
We got in the car, headed to pop-eyes chicken and mcdonalds for a healthy start to our holiday, and made it toward the coast. Our only real mishap was that we left one bag on the carousel so dad had to make a trip back to the airport to pick it up later, but fortunately they had it waiting for us.
Tonight the boys fell asleep on mom watching Disney's Rob Hood. Man, they are beautiful when they are asleep.
So we are all geared up for the big week. We have very little planned other than Wednesday at D-land, so we will see where we end up.
