Daily Owen & Bennett: 5.27.2015

4pm flights...aka 2pm our time at home...aka prime nap time = recipe for disaster. Seriously flights from 12-4 should be banned for families traveling with kids.

As expected both kids fell asleep in the car on the way to the airport so we prepped ourself for a long few hours ahead of us. 



At first it was decent. We had snacks. We laughed. We thought it would be ok.



Then we took off. 

The first hour was HELL. Owen fought sleep even though he was exhausted...meaning the 20 min car nap did nothing since he typically sleeps 3-4 hours. B just wanted to nurse so literally was attached to me like a newborn for over an hour straight! We even bought Owen a tablet from the plane thinking that could help. It did. For about 10 minutes.


At about the 1.5 hour mark, B finally crashed. 


Then a few minutes later, Owen did. 

Thank god.


They both slept about the duration of the flight. Whoo! All in all I really can't complain. They are stellar travelers.


So, now after a stop to get some groceries, we are home, full and missing our family back east- especially grandma and grandpa. But we are grateful we do get to see them so often and for having weeks like this last one with them. All of that being said, we are also happy to be home.
