The hard part of traveling with kids

By the end of the week of fun activities in Palm Springs, the kids were exhausted. On Sat. before heading home we decided to try out the local swap meet. Although it was fun to see all the neat booths- the kids really couldn't get the idea of hands off. They quickly got tired to walking around and all ended up melting down at once.
They did enjoy trying on a few hats first, but when Rylie tried to run away from taking a picture and ended up running into a shelf, that was the end for her.
I finally had to have Wyatt in the Baby Bjorn, Rylie on my shoulders and Daniel begging her help at my feet. A true human totem pole. Ah the joy of being a mom at that moment.

I usually don't mind driving with the kids. There are some moments of crying, but overall the kids do well. This trip on the other hand was awful. Daniel has had a bad habit of undoing his seat belt while we are driving, so after finding him wandering around the back of our car I switched his seat back to a toddler seat. This then set him off into 2 hours of screaming. He wouldn't stop. I finally had to get it on video because it became funny. This clip is the best because Rylie is next to him making fun of him crying and Wyatt decided to join in. In that 2 hours, much of it all 3 were crying hysterically. Ah, the fun.

By the time I got home, I was so ready for another break. Darin was great and took over. It sure has been nice this week to have fall break where I could recuperate from my last day in Palm Springs.
