Spring Break 2011

This year we decided to spend Spring Break taking a road trip to see friends and family.  Well, part of it was a road trip and part of it was a flying adventure.  So Saturday, March 12, we hop on a plane to Midland.  Cameron is a great flyer and can totally entertain himself.  Maggie was okay for the first part of the flight, but we had a layover in Dallas and she was not happy that we did not get off the plane at that point.  I don't like layovers either, so I understood her disappointment as well.

So our first stop was in Midland to see Erik, Cindy & Brady.  It was Erik's 31st birthday on Sunday, March 13, and since it's been a while since we've been able to celebrate his birthday together we just had to visit.  And it's been almost a year since they've moved out to Midland and this was the first opportunity we had to get out and see them in their new home.

Testing out Brady's doctor kit.

Brady has grown so much in the last year.  He's a super fun little boy.  It did take a day or two to warm up to us (totally understandable) and then he was calling us by name in no time.  I think the only thing that sort of freaked him out was that we tried to put all 3 of them in the bathtub together and with my 2 being so rowdy it was a bit much for the little man.  He was so easy going and happy to share his fun toys with Cam & Maggie.  He also introduced them to a new character and tv show - Chuggington.  

Oh boy do our kids have Chugger fever now!  Maggie kept saying the girl train was 'her Koko', so I'm thinking we might have to get her a train for her birthday.

So that was just the first night, wait til you see what we did the rest of the week!
