Planes, Games, and Automobiles

Monday, October 28

Devyn and Kinley are now 19 weeks old! This past weekend held a lot of "firsts" for the girls. In just one weekend the girls had their first vacation, first plane ride, and watched their first NFL football game.

The Marsh family met up in Kansas City for the annual football trip this year. It was the first time the girls were away from home for more than a few hours. I must admit that I was a nervous wreck! I couldn't help but expect the worst....missing the flight, managing screaming babies on a plane with ticked-off fellow passengers, or forgetting to pack diapers or bottles. Well, thankfully the trip couldn't have been farther from my predictions.

Turns out it wasn't bad at all! It definitely takes a lot more time and planning, but we arrived at the airport and made it through security relatively easily! And thankfully, our flight wasn't full, so we were able to use an extra seat. The girls slept almost the entire flight without so much as a peep out of either of them! I think even our fellow passengers were impressed:-)

 The girls finally met Aunt Shannon!

Snuggling with Uncle Derek

Sunday was game day! Grandpa Marsh got us invitations to a private suite at the stadium. The room had its own bathroom, kitchen, personal attendant, fireplace, TVs, outdoor and indoor seating, and free food and drinks. Even I like watching football games like that! It was the perfect way to enjoy a football game with babies.        

 Ready for some football!

 Is that a bow or a hat?!?!

 Browns vs. Chiefs

 

They don't seem interested in the game.  

 Check out the suite! The girls (and I) will be disappointed next year when it's back to normal stadium seating! 

 Cheering for the Browns!

The Browns lost....everyone is sad:-(

 

Can he turn them into football fans???

 

Heading home from vacation is never as much fun. The trip wasn't quite as comfortable since we weren't able to sit by one another (there is a 4 person limit per row because of the oxygen mask availability) and it was a very full flight. We survived a mid-flight diaper change and the girls spent most of the time sleeping again. Still a pretty smooth experience!

 

We had a great weekend with family! Can't wait to do it again next year!
