Anthony and I were so excited to visit family in Michigan. The only thing that made us nervous about the trip was that we were flying there. Allison had been on a plane before when she was really little and didn't remember it at all, but we knew she would do just fine. It was our lil 18 month old Ashley that we were worried about! Alli and Ashley were fascinated with the park space shuttle we took to the air port and seeing all the planes as we waited to board ours.
I had packed a surprise goodie bag for each of the girls for the air plane ride to help pass the time. Alli's favorite was her Tinkerbell Color Wonder pad and markers and Ashley's favorite were the lollipops! Allison was perfect and Ashley did pretty well too. She had her few moments climbing in and out of the seat, but overall, I have no major complaints!
Once we arrived at the Grand Rapids Air port in Michigan, we got our rental car and headed to Linsey & Josh's house! They, along with Erica & Travis and their kids were waiting for us with a yummy spaghetti dinner. Alli & Ashley were a little shy at first being in a new place and seeing all these new people, but after a short while, all the kids were playing so well together and having so much fun. Since they were playing outside in the sandbox and getting soaked playing in the kiddie pool, it was bath time for all the kiddos!!!
After a fun night of seeing everyone and catching up for awhile, everyone was tired and it was time for us to head to our hotel. Once we got in and settled there, Ashley surprised us at how wonderfully she went right to bed! She didn't make a peep. She was definitely sleepy! Alli slept with us and she went right to sleep too.
