Trip to KS

Last week we traveled back to KS for a couple days.  For Stella, it was another much anticipated airplane ride.  Today she asked me,  "where are were flying next?"
We arrived Thursday and came home Monday but got to enjoy seeing family/friends and attending a KU Basketball game.
The girls did great traveling-Stella is pretty self sufficient, she gets on the plane, buckles in, waits for a movie and juice after take off and she is set.  We had a lay over in Nashville-they had a nice kids play area which was a great way to spend some time between flights.  My dad hosted several of our friends on Sunday night-which was a great way to catch up with people...Thanks Dad and Ann!
Now that we are home we are all suffering from colds.  Vera started first, then me, then Charlie and finally Stella this morning.  Despite being a little under the weather, we went to swim lessons again Saturday morning and both the girls did great.  Vera is quite the "lil water bug".  Stella practices for swim lessons in the bath.  Looking forward to some warm weather and days at the beach with the girls!

 On Friday we took Stella and Henry to gymnastic facility that opens their doors to tots for a couple hours.  We did this last year too!  Stella LOVES it!

 They have a long trampoline you can bounce/run down and jump in the foam pit!
