Traveling with a toddler is not for the faint of heart!

We just got back from visiting our adorable family in Utah. We were all so excited about the trip but I'll admit that I was also dreading having Jackson in an enclosed space up in the sky. I would not recommend flying with an 18 month old VERY active little boy. Jackson did not understand why he couldn't simply be free and run around in the plane and all the exciting toys and dvd's we brought would only entertain him for mere minutes. I honestly felt as if we were flying for days. Jackson did very well considering that he was trapped in his seat. He only did the ear piercing squeal/scream a few times on the way out there, as I died of embarrassment.

After Jackson took a little time to get to know everyone again (he hadn't seen his Utah peeps since he was 9 months old) he completely fell in love with Brekyn (Breppin), Auntie Jen, Auntie Emmy and Grammy (Mimi). He wasn't so sure about his little cousin Cooper who has to be one of the cutest and sweetest babies ever, and if you were holding Cooper Jackson wasn't too sure about you either. :)

We had a GREAT time! Family is very important to us and it's very special when we can spend time with our fab family. We went to a fantastic aquarium that Jackson totally loved. We also went to a fun children's museum that had amazing exhibits for kids. Utah is just breathtaking and the scenery itself is so very enjoyable.

We already miss everyone so very much and want to thank our family for everything! They completely spoiled us rotten. :)
