We survived our first big trip with the girls. We decided to make a trip up to the Kansas City area to see my sister and her family to celebrate our nephews 1st birthday. Billy also has his Grandma/Aunt & Uncle relatively close so we were able to plan to visit them as well!
Emma and Maggie did pretty well on the plane(s). Maggie wasn't sure what was going on during our way up there but only cried for about 15 minutes. Emma just had lots of fun and enjoyed all her goodies. The trip home was even better but Emma did get fussy when we took away the iPad. Why don't toddlers understand that we have to turn off all electronics for landing. :-)

It was great to see Mer, Ryan and Austin. They are settled into their new home in Leavenworth and have already been hosting visitors. We quickly realized that we were not going to get to do as much as we wanted to do because of having three kids under 2 but we still had a great visit. Eastern Kansas is beautiful. Way more scenic than I expected. Mer and Ryan made this trip so easy for us by having tons of stuff that we would've had to bring; pack-n-plays, Carseat, etc. They spoiled Emma and even celebrated her birthday early when we did Austin's. It will be fun to see these cousins grow up together and we've already started discussing future trips when the kids are older.

Grandma, Aunt Beverly & Uncle Dennis live about 2 hours east of the Welch family. We were able to spend the better part of a day visiting with them and introducing Emma to country life. She loved the cows across the street from the Stobie's house. She also loved their stairs and the button drawer. Even though it was a quick visit it was wonderful to see everyone and introduce them to Maggie.

All in all it was a great trip and Emma did very good despite not getting the naps she still needs and being in new surroundings. We loved getting to see our families and look forward to the next visit.

Glad you had a good trip and the girls traveled well for you! Love the cousin pic of Emma with her piggies and paci, Maggie with her mohawk and Austin with his big rosy cheeks. They are all so cute!
