Arizona Trip 2015

Call us crazy, but we packed up three kiddos under the age of four, got on a plane and went to Arizona.  Logistically it's a challenge and takes lots of planning, but we made it work!

The plane ride was interesting since we are no longer able to all sit in the same row.  Braden and Logan must be ticketed and have seats, and Kellen is still a lap child.  We decided the best option was for Kevin to sit in a row with Logan and for me to sit with Kellen and Braden in the row in front of them.  They all did remarkably well on the four hour flight to Arizona.  Kellen nursed and slept for the most part.  He was fussy for a little while, but luckily the flight was smooth so I was able to stand in the aisle and walk with him for a bit.  I purchased brand new activities to put in the big boys backpacks to keep them entertained.  Most of them were dollar store purchases, but it worked since everything was new! And of course we had Paw Patrol episodes on our phones :)

We had a great time staying with Poppi and Nana.  The boys loved being outside almost all day every day.  Uncle Matt came over almost every day as well.  We spent time with my Grandma (or GiGi as the boys call her) as well as my Aunts and Uncles.  We hung out with my best friend from high school and her kiddos and they really enjoyed playing with each other.  We went to the Phoenix Zoo and the railroad park.  The boys went on as many walks with the dogs as possible.  We had a fabulous time and it was extremely difficult to return home to the bitter cold.

Here are some pictures from the trip:
