The Dehls:: Jersey 2012

We did it! We made it through our first flight with both boys and I would do it again in a heart beat! We went and saw our friends from NJ, Steve and Jana and their daughter Gabriella. Both did great the whole trip. The first night we were very lax, ordering pizza and catching up. Day 2, we went to a kid friendly area very close to them. It had a small zoo, train, carousel, and park. The kids had a blast. That evening we enjoyed dining in at a family owed restaurant downtown and also enjoyed walking around seeing the beauty of Westwood, NJ. Day 3 was a raining day so we took the kids to New Jersey Children's Museum. Parker and Gabby had a blast. There was so much there for them to do. Later that day, Jana and I enjoyed an AMAZING pedicure. The night was topped off with Jana's homemade sauce and meat over noodles!! It was delish!!!! Day 4 was our final day there and time to go home. The trip went by so fast but we had a blast. Our travel home wasn't as smooth as our travel there. Due to inclimate weather in Chicago, planes were delayed and our flight ended up taking off 2 1/2 hours later than originally scheduled. Both boys were very ansy in the airport and way off schedule as this point. Austin cried and cried and people stared and stared. know they were thinking 'that baby better not be on my flight' as I paced the airport to finally get him asleep 20 min before we boarded, only to wake him up again. Parker ran crazily through the airport as he was full of energy! Sometimes you just have to let them get it all out before boarding the plane and being cooped up for 5 hrs. Once we got going the trip home was pretty quick with a plane change in Houston (that was a run from one gate to the next, buckle up and let's go!!).

After a couples days we were all recovered from the fun trip we had!! We look forward to their visit to Texas next with their new addition to the family!!

Ready set go...Austin went to sleep and Parker was too excited to sleep!
