Our First Trip

April 29, 2010 we embarked on our first trip with the boys. We packed up and left the house early to meet Grandma, Grandpa, Toddee, Annie, and Poppy at the airport. We took off for Massachusetts to meet many of our family members and celebrate Brian's wedding.

The flight was great. Glenn and I were prepared for a disaster and were pleasantly surprised to discover that the boys flew like champs. Maybe it had to do with being allowed to bring their car seats on the airplane and the abundance of food. They were great. We arrived and went straight to Auntie Franny and Uncle Keith's house. The boys enjoyed playing and meeting them. Even Mary stopped by for a little bit.

Friday rolled around and after a.... night sleep. (I can't say great, but it was decent considering it was Brandon's first time ever sleeping in a Pack 'n Play.) Glenn, Toddee, Annie and I went into Boston where we saw Minute Men, the first state house, Faneuil Hall and Quincy Market, and Boston Harbor. We had lunch and walked around.

While we walked through Boston, Grandma Flo, Grandma, Grandpa, Poppy, Auntie Fran, Uncle Keith, Brandon and Colin played, went to the park and even had ICE CREAM... it was their first time. So I'm told, the LOVED it. Begging for more and more. That night Brandon and Colin met baby Eliza and the Matloff/Sutton crew. They had a ball!

Saturday morning we left to go to the wedding. Wow, the Inn was beautiful! The boys played on the lawn while Brian and his groomsmen got ready for pictures. We spent quite a bit of time outside. That night we put on our dancing shoes. The boys enjoyed the ceremony crawling around on the lawn again. Then a little dancing and off to bed.

Sunday was a big day. We spent the morning seeing all of Grandma's family and the afternoon meeting all of Grandpa's family. His brother and cousins.

Wow, we had a great time meeting everyone. At last, it was time to go home. Again, they were great on the flight (in their car seats again). Upon our arrival home, the boys darted from toy to toy as if it was the first time they saw each one. We believe that they were truly happy to be home.

Over the weekend, they had ice cream, learned to climb stairs, wave bye bye (Brandon) and met so many wonderful family members. This was a trip to remember!
