Headin' home

I imagine similar things exist in other airports around the world, but this is the first time I have ever seen it - play stuff inside the airport for kids.  The best idea ever.  We were at the airport really early in Santiago, so it was a great way to kill lots of time and let the kids run off their energy before the flight, especially since they had been inside the apartment all day while we were packing up.  There were lots of other kids around playing, too, which also made it more interesting for the boys. 

Caleb called this one the Fire Station and he liked climbing in through the window.

School bus?  Truck?  The most fun for all the kids.

Before take-off Landon (and his little double chin) was intensely studying the airplane safety card.

 

Here is how Caleb spent a good part of the flight Santiago-(stop in Lima)-Los Angeles.  He slept very soundly this time around, unlike on the flight there when he was too overtired and restless. Maybe all that running at the airport helped. :)

He is still sort of short enough to stretch into half of my seat and I can cram myself over to the outer side of my seat and try to sleep...

Landon, too, slept on the long flight, but not as much as Caleb.  He is starting to figure out what headphones are and left them on longer this time than he did on the flight over in January.

Jimmy found this one on his phone from the flight in January - I could tell by how long Caleb's hair is!

Overall the kids did well on the flights and it was definitely helpful that it was a night flight so they could sleep.  We are happy to be home and getting to see our friends and family again!
