We woke the kids up early to catch a flight for Long Beach on Friday morning. I pulled Grant right out of bed and smelled a dirty diaper, but didn't have time to change it yet so I quickly forgot about it. Until we are in the security line. Tom was still parking the car, and Grant had a huge blowout when I finally checked him. We had poop all over him, me, blankets, and everywhere. So I had to kneel on the ground and change him with 3 little boys running around me and tons of spectators watched. Of course there was no extra outfit in the diaper bag like I thought. So we had a naked baby traveling with us. And we had to run through the airport to catch our flight! Talk about adrenaline!
The Long Beach airport was tiny and everything went smoothly. We got to the Disney Grand hotel in time for Tom to rush to his meetings. Leaving me with 3 kiddos and a naked baby in the lobby. Our luggage was checked in, but unfortunately our room wasn't ready for 5 more hours. So what to do?? We walked around Downtown Disney and thank heavens for the Lego store! It kept the boys occupied for at least an hour:)
And thank heavens for the classic Mickey Mouse cartoons in the lobby!
We finally got into our hotel room (after about 3 1/2 hours) and our luggage arrived so we could change and go swimming.
I don't think Grant has cried so much in his young life as he did that day. Poor guy. He just couldn't nap much (there was no place to lay him down). Overall, I just chuckled at our situation. Until daddy's meetings went extra long and I had 4 grumpy, tired, and extremely hungry kids on my hands. Luckily, we got right into a restaurant and had a good dinner before throwing them all in their beds. Quite the first day in CA!
