Planning their next Mission from the looks of it!

We started our day yesterday at 3:30 AM. The kids never fell back asleep in the car, but somehow we perfect angels all the way up to the airport, through the airport, on the airplane, and getting off the airplane. We were thrilled and amazed, especially seeing as how they were up so early. Well...all of the perfectness ended about 10 minutes before we arrived at Matt's Grandpa's house in Winter Haven, FL. Makenna started to break down as did Mark by saying his stomach hurt. They were not great while visiting with their Great-Grandpa unfortunately. Then we put them back in a car for another couple hours to drive to Matt's Uncle Curt's house. They again, were not great. But when we got to Uncle Curt's and they could run around and burn some energy, they were much happier. Uncle Curt and Aunt Roberta wanted to take us to the Ocean and the kids were pumped. They drove them in the car and Matt and I rode Uncle Curt's brand new Harley Davidson. It was fun, but definitely more frightening as a mother now. The kids had a blast on the beach with Aunt Roberta and then we ate dinner at a place right on the Beach that overlooked the Ocean. It was wonderful. They crashed when we got back and were ready to take on Disney the next day.
