Maryland

We went to Maryland to visit Wes' family at the end of May. The worst part was the plane ride up there: when before the flight even takes off I spill an entire sippy cup all over me and Ezra! GROSS! I ALWAYS have an extra outfit when we travel...except this time. What was I thinking? Overall, the kids were great. The first few nights the boys had a hard time getting to sleep in the pack-n-plays, but I guess that's part of traveling with 15 month olds. (We both forgot our cameras, so once again...these are all cell phone shots. One day I'll remember the real deal. You can click on the collages to enlarge)

We met up with The Welte's one day and swam in their front lake. (Okay, Wes and Elliot swam, I did not.) Elliot had fun playing with their little man, Sam and it was great to meet their one week old little guy, Will.We also went to The Morehouse's house (hehe) one day. (We met them the 1st time we were out in AZ...and they were still there the 2nd time we moved there). Anyways, it was great to catch up and let all the kids play. For some reasons, we neglected getting a picture of all of us big people...ugh! I also count this as the day Levi started walking! I guess he didn't want to crawl on the deck, so he started walking! It was so fantastic. Now, he's all over the place.
There's a great playground at Sandy Cove (where Wes' mom works). OH, and the kids were in their pajamas in the pic's because it was a chilly day and I neglected to pack ANY warm clothes besides their PJ's. oops
Elliot got to stay up late one night and go over to Wes' bro's house for a bonfire. It was super fun. She got to ride on the 4-wheeler and drink her very FIRST can of soda (Gingerale) She was so excited :-)
We got to have a girls day out and go to Olive Garden (El's fav) and IKEA! Elliot even went into the childcare/play area at IKEA. Kinda scary leaving her, but she had a blast! It was lots of fun walking around that enormous store :-) Elliot enjoyed playing in a bin of sheepskins. I kinda feel bad 'cause both the boys have sheepskins that they sleep on in their cribs (they even came on the trip with us), but she doesn't have one on her big bed. Maybe I need to do something about that (but big one's are quite pricey)
We also went to Jersey one day to see Wes' grandparents. His Pop is in a nursing home, so we didn't get to stay too long. All the boys wanted to do was run around and make noise, but it was good to see him. We then tried to visit with his Nana some. She is going through radiation for cancer but is such a trooper. The boys found her walker and were all over that! haha. (sorry some pic's our fuzzy!)
One more visit to Taylor and Kate's house for a family pic and some more 4-wheelin' for all the kids.
....then our 1st Class Ride home! FUN!
