Annual Trek to Texas!

It's that time again - we are headed to Texas! We've been counting down the days and the boys couldn't be happier to be headed down south to see their grandparents and all the aunts, uncles and cousins (related or assumed)! 

I thought we would try something new this year and take an overnight flight. Of course, there aren't any this time of year without a layover (or twice the cost on American), so we picked the best one we could with a long enough layover in Seattle to eat and wear them out.

In the end, the second leg was pretty awful because Henry couldn't stay asleep and kept waking his brother up. I managed to keep him from waking the whole plane up, but none of us really got much sleep by the time we landed in DFW at 6am.

Oh well, we tried... 

Thank goodness, we could hand off the boys to my parents as soon as we got to their house, so Matt and I could crash for the morning. Then eat and take another nap with the boys by the time they finally got tired. After we were all mostly human again, we headed off to the park to get a little bit of fun time in. 

It was mostly a waste of a day for us, but Henry and Thomas didn't seem to mind at all. 

Riding on a plane, seeing your grandparents and playing in a park all in the same 24 hour period is plenty of excitement for them. I wish I had their boundless energy, but I'll settle with being happy we survived the trip down once more! :)
