California Trip: Day One

Wednesday morning started early for us.  We left our house about 6:45 to catch an early flight out to Los Angeles to begin our trip.  I have told everyone that the flying part was easy with 2 babies and 3 adults.  It was the security line with 2 car seats, a double stroller, lots of electronics, several carry on bags, and a days worth of bottles and sippy cups that was the hard part.  I'm pretty sure we have become that family that you don't want to stand behind in the security line unless you want to wait awhile. :) 

Connor and Carson both did great on the flight.  The only time I got a little worried was while we were taking off Connor yells out "Go backwards!  I need to go home." :)  Once we were in the air he quickly adjusted and enjoyed the rest of the flight.

The DVD player with several new movies seemed to help. :)

Once we arrived in LA we headed over to Kevin and Rachel's apartment.  The boys both fell asleep on the way so Cole let mom and I run up to see Owen before our lunch.  He had grown so much and we were both so happy to see him!  

After a short visit we loaded up everyone and took a walk over to The Counter for some yummy burgers.  Only in LA can you enjoy a nice lunch while sitting outside and not burn up from the heat!

After lunch we went to the La Brea Tar Pits which was a great place to let Connor run free.

This tar pit is famous for all of the fossils they have found from extinct Ice Age plants and animals.

Cole, Connor, Kristin, Kevin, and Rachel (Owen and Carson were hanging out in the strollers)

Connor had fun climbing all over these trees.  He especially loved running up and down the huge hills.

Carson was laid back as usual.  Just enjoying being along for the ride.

Later that afternoon we headed to our hotel in Anaheim were we would spend the next few days.

After pizza and a trip to Target, we all headed to bed early knowing that the boys would probably wake up on Texas time.  It was a great first day of our trip!
