Have a great trip! . . .



Dropped Chad, Nic and Lucas off at the airport for their big family trip to Hawaii for eight days. They are meeting up with Nicole's family in Oahu where her Dad has rented a big house right on the beach. There will be about 14 of them there for the week, so fun!! Her Dad just retired this past year as the fire chief for the City of Phoenix, he has some connections to the Oahu fire department and some of the fire fighters there are coming to the house one evening to put on a luau for them . . how cool is that!! They have also been instructed by Dad and stepmom to be prepared with a skit for the family talent show. They are performing before all the family members and will be judged on their act, so they have been practicing that for the last week. It's hilarious from what I have heard I'm excited to see the video when they get back. They have been preparing for this trip thinking of things to occupy Lucas while he is on the plane for 5 hours. You can only dope up a kid with so much Benadryl before it's considered an overdose I think?? They had lots of things to try and occupy him with, so I am anxious to here how their flight was, because you know you have to do it all over again the way back home. As I was dropping them off and they were unloading at the curbside check in, how quickly you forget how many accessories come with having a little one. They checked his carseat, stroller, and playyard, plus their own 2 checked bags and carryons. Glad those days of hauling all that stuff are over for us!

5 hours piece of cake try 15 hours with a baby! Done it so many times and most trips were great for him he slept but I didn't...maybe I should have taken the benadryl. Glad I am out of that phase!
