I do think that we have got traveling with kids down to a science. Each time we fly we add something else to the mix to make our trip even more successful. This year we had new Sunshine Kids Radian car seats, a huge improvement over our previous seats. Although a bit heavier than the others, the fact that they fold and have a shoulder strap for ease of transport makes all the difference. We were able to easily walk down the aisle of the plane without having to lift the entire car seat above the airline seats as it is narrow enough to go down the aisle. Stellar! They installed quickly and easily using the airplane's lap belt (no extension required) and were ready to go. The kids enjoyed the familiarity and comfort of their very own car seats and I enjoyed the fact that the tray table could be used as they don't sit as high as the others. My daughter happily munched on her snack, watched seat back TV and I had a small nap. What could be better?
Disney was even more fun this year as the kids really knew what was going on and were excited to see all their favorite characters. Mickey's Not So Scary Halloween Party was a hit and we had an excellent location scouted out for both the parade and fireworks. Another visit to the Hollywood Studios made for a great day despite the hotter than normal weather. We carefully planned out our destinations and managed to fit everything we wanted in without any meltdowns. Highlight of the day for the kids, lunch with the Little Einsteins. Highlight for the adults, the hoards of families dressed in matching outfits. Mom and daughter in Tinkerbell and Dad and son in matching golf ensembles.....If I posted the pictures you would agree but it wouldn't be nice!
Back into the swing of things we go, Halloween will be here before we know it. Today is a beautiful fall day. Get outside and enjoy it!
