Day 1 -The Little Monster Arrives!

They're here!! Dylan's first trip to California!! Aunt Tricia was really worried about how a 2 1/2 year old would do on the plane and he did great!! Poor thing, she had been collecting things and packing for him for months, but it was worth it! He had his TV (or PB) markers, mini magnadoodle, books, trains, juice, snacks everything to keep him happy during the flight! However, when they got here they were exhausted. Try entertaining a kid for about 6 hrs including a lay over and waking up at 5a.m.! Phew...hard work!

After we picked them up they came home and played for a bit, had lunch and took a nap. Somehow we managed to get them to sleep at the same time, which was probably due to Aunt Tricia's skills on sleeping techniques! Later that day we took them to the mall to shop around a bit before Darrin came home for dinner. I mean seriously, there was no time to waste, I HAD to take them to a mall the first day! Come on, we're in California!!!

As you can see Dylan is trying to give Reagan a passy. She does not like them and has never taken one, it was out because she plays with it, but Dylan thought she needed it! They all played around and jumped on the bed with Darrin and then Dylan opened his new Cars book and DVD. Later they took a bath and Darrin read his favorite book, My Truck is Stuck! Below is a video of them listening to Darrin reading about the truck that was stucked! (as Dylan says it)
