The kids loved the plane rides, including the turbulence that we experienced on both flights. Norah's ears hurt on the first descent, but other than that we had a very smooth travel day. They entertained themselves very well for most of the flights, and ate up all the snacks and the ginger ale from the flight attendants. The two hour layover in Chicago was spent traveling on the people-movers between the gates.
The day after we arrived we celebrated Toby's 6th birthday, his cousin's 1st birthday, and Father's Day with a Johnson family gathering. The kids had so much fun playing tag and wrestling together! We also had an unbelieveable amount of cake, including Toby's DQ blizzard ice cream cake.
After a few relaxing days enjoying my parents' back yard (and acclimating to altitude and time zone changes) we headed to the Springs to visit BJ's side of the family. We had a picnic at the B 52 on the Air Force Academy and are now staying at BJ's brother's house with his 5 kiddos. Toby and Norah are running themselves ragged playing all the time, and even with one or two kids napping at any given point there's always someone willing to start a game or a craft.
