Holiday time!

So we are finally on our trip. It has been a long time coming but is here now :)

Kids ready to go at Auckland Airport

On our first flight.... kids using their new headphones from Aunty Amanda & Uncle Row...

...having fun with colouring from Nana & Grumpy...

... to this on our second to last flight, two tired kids by the end of our trip over.

Playing with Grandma

Jon and Todd went to a Jimmy Buffett Show and we babysat 'Jack the dog' as the kids called him.

I found a Dora swimsuit and grass skirt at a store in Rockford, Layla loves it!



The kids first time Bowling in their life.

Watching the ball....

Kids in action!

Swimming in Grandma's pool, Holden (cousin, almost 8) came over to stay the weekend and all the kids got along great.

Not much of a size difference - Talor 4.5 years, Holden almost 8

It wouldn't be a trip to Rockford without a meal or two in the Corner Bar. We had to search for a few minutes to find Jon's name on the wall - If you eat over 12 Hot Dogs (in a bun with chili on them) you can get your name put on the wall. Jon did it while still in High School.

Fun times together!

So that has been the first few days. I'll add some more photos towards the end of the week.
