Throughout the trip, Theo was a great food role model for Ben, we still say, "take a big bite like Theo" or "make it all gone like Theo!" And what do you know, he does just that!
We opted to do a little shopping on our last day. We made a trip to West Elm to look at the couch we were interested in for Andy's office. There were about 100 different fabrics to choose from but we ordered a couch and should be getting it in a whopping 12-14 weeks. Hope we still like it then. ;) Apparently I didn't take any pictures of our shopping trip, but that's probably because Ben was sleeping most of the time. We went back home to spend our last few precious hours playing with Theo and Simmy! We attempted a group picture and this is the best we could do:
And I thought it was hard to get 1 kid to sit nicely for a picture…
As we were waiting for a taxi, we had to get in a few last pictures before we said our good-byes. We tried anyway, we tried!
We were so sad to go! We had so much fun in our 5 short days. I didn't elaborate in my blog, but they were the most gracious and generous hosts! We really took over an entire level of their apartment, and they made sure we were comfortable and well fed. We were extremely spoiled and we are so grateful for their hospitality! Ben gave grandpa a call from the taxi on the way to the airport. "Grandpa! Airport! Pick up! Ben! Airport! Airport! Flying." There was probably a "so high!" in there somewhere.
The A/C was out in the airport (how is that possible?!) and our flight was delayed, so I was pulling out all of my entertainment tricks. The one that bought the most time? The ring pop, for sure!
We had to sit in the last row to sit together, but we didn't care. I was so happy that we got to sit together on the way home!
Ben was getting a little tired by the time we finally boarded, so we read some books while the flight attendant did her little talk. I am still not exactly sure what Ben did or said, but she could NOT keep it together and was laughing the entire time she was trying to teach the flight how to be safe. She ultimately apologized to everyone that there was a cute little redhead who was distracting her! I guess it's hard not to look at that sweet little face!
That ginger boy fell asleep before the flight even took off and he woke up shortly after we landed. Perfection!
While we loved our little vacation, it is always great to be home, too. It was really nice having another 4 days of vacation before we had to go back to work. I will probably write 1 more post summarizing our last few days of freedom!
