Leaving on a jet plane...

Technically, we aren't leaving anymore; we are back. But, last Thursday, we did, in fact, leave on a plane, and a tiny one at that. This was Jack's first plane ride and Ethan's second, and I was beyond nervous. It turns out, I didn't need to be - both boys were ideal travelers. In fact, on the way to Boston, Jackson was perfection - didn't make a peep! He fell asleep on my lap while reading People magazine and woke up flirting with the ladies seated nearby. That's my boy! Ethan was good as well - he got a bit punchy at the end, but in general, he was great.

Wild times in the air...

iPad = Traveling necessity

 We tried squeezing him through security...

 Ethan's favorite part is the airport tram

 Best little traveler

The boys and I had a great time at Aunt Jenny's. Ethan did not want to come home - I think he laughed at the top of his lungs for three days straight! He just eats up following around his cousins "F" and "C," and "A" dotes on him and Jack. Both boys rested well - Ethan got to share a room with "C" and thought that was the coolest thing.

E and his idol...

 J loved the ball pit

 So did Grammy

 So did E & C

J's new favorite snack

 A crazed puppet show...

We spent Saturday at Six Flags, which was a huge hit. There were a ton of rides Ethan could ride, and even Jack rode a few. There was a great playground that Jack crawled all over; he was such a trooper! He lasted the entire day with no fussing. Well, how could he fuss when he got to eat chicken, fries, a hot dog, and funnel cake?? Oh - and he learned how to drink from a straw by accident and got a huge gulp of pink lemonade. Maybe the sugar kept him pleasant all day??

Jack love riding with us! 

 Happy baby

 Uncle Mat did most of the riding

 Hands down, the best picture of Jack, ever.

 Aunt Jenny introduced Jack to Scooby

 Ethan made great strides while there (despite falling off of two chairs and getting a splinter...) Not only did he poop at Aunt Jenny's, but he actually got out of bed and pooped all by himself. But wait - it gets better - he also pooped at Six Flags! I seriously cannot believe that a month ago, he was crying on the potty every night. This summer we will be ready to work our way out of overnight pull-ups - YES!

 We had awesome weather!

 They all love to spin...

 Jack - looking just like AJ

 The big boys on the playground

 Aren't they so cute!?!

 Nothing but trouble

 Cutest little hoodlum around...

We had a wonderful time. It was hectic and loud with five kids under the same roof, but that was part of the fun. I am glad for every moment the boys get to spend with their cousins - it doesn't get to happen enough!

I've never seen Ethan laugh as hard as he did on this ride.

Watching him was the best.
