It's like a picnic

Of all our years of travel, this is the very first time we have had to rent a luggage cart. $5 to rent a luggage cart seems like a lot, but getting it so I could pick up our two suitcases and two car seats from baggage claim and take them and the kids out to wait for Willis to pick us up was sooo worth it!

Having a snack as we wait for our ride. Austin said, "It's like a picnic!"

The traffic to get out of the airport, on the other hand, was not great. Lane closure around terminals 3 and 4 when all the last flights of the night were getting in created a madhouse of a traffic jam!

Look what he made

I had a pack of craft pipe cleaners in my bag of activities to occupy the kids on the plane. It occupied Jackson for about four minutes because all he wanted to do was pull them out of the package and throw them on the floor. They held Austin's attention for 15-20 minutes at first but he came back to them again later and was asking for them after we got off the plane. 

This is what he made. I think he said it was a monster with two feet but now it's a monster with five feet.

Rolling thru the airport

This big boy rolled his backpack through check-in all the way to the plane and from the plane to baggage claim without once asking if he could ride in the stroller.

New toys

Austin making things out of foam spongy pellet things you wet and stick together. They were ships at first but then he decided they're airplanes instead.

The result

The result of over an hour fight with the nap ended like this. Face in the crack of cushions.

Morning view from the Aulani

Jackson and I had an early morning breakfast to this view. :)

Dinner on the plane

Having dinner on the plane. Ready to take off! Hawaii, here we come!

Practice

Practicing before the first game

Building

Trying to put together blocks. It doesn't take this guy long to figure things out or try to imitate how something is done. :)


Then he will go and shove stuff under the couch

Jack in the box

He tossed all the blocks out of the box and climbed in all by himself

Morning sunshine

My milk!

Jackson was very possessive with his milk cup. He pulled it away from my hand even when I was just trying to give him some fruits.

Decisions

Play with brother's table or brother's book? Can't decide...

Getting into things

Getting into Austin's crayons, markers and colored pencils. It's a good thing Jackson doesn't put everything in his mouth anymore. None of these were chewed. Just tossed around. Although, he did mark up the table, Bumbo and he tried to climb on the table like it was a step stool.

Flossing

Just like big brother!

Playing with brother's new book

Keeping them busy

This toy was so awesome at keeping both boys busy for a long time while we prepped for Jackson's birthday party. And it was helpful in tiring out the birthday boy so he would nap before the party. :)
