Flying out of Indianapolis was great. Gabriel's favorite part was running up & down the moving walkways.
The biggest boy in the world wanted to help push his own stroller.
Obligatory "kid watching planes" picture. But he's so stinkin' cute! He loved watching them come and go (for approx. 3 minutes at a time).
That's even our plane!
Ready to board! The Fulchers are ready to tackle this first flight with a toddler.
Strapped in, reading a new book, not phased in the slightest.
Part way through the flight we broke out the brand new "toy" - Gabriel has his own tablet (wrapped in Nerf)! We had lots of fun watching movies together and he figured out how to work the tablet in no time at all. But he'll only get to practice those skills when we're on trips. That's the only time he gets the tablet.
Gabriel stayed awake through the whole flight, even though we didn't land until after 10pmEST. But once he was in his familiar, safe stroller, he just couldn't keep his eyes open. He fell asleep walking from baggage claim to the rental car shuttle.
After a night in the hotel (where Gabriel did incredibly well in a hotel-owned pack-n-play), we were off to look at houses. Gabriel helped by examining drawers and doors.
We're so grateful that he slept well in the hotel. We were all so exhausted!
Books, snacks, and a little movie time. Our little man was a real trooper.
"Mama, I'll test out these doors for you."
After a long day of looking (and re-looking) at houses, it was time for a treat. Gabriel's first taste of TCBY.
And just like that it was time to head back home. This beautiful sun was behind us in the rental car shuttle back to the Denver airport.
We pulled out the tablet pretty quickly on the way home, but G was a content boy so it's all good. And he was much happier with the headphones this time around.
We didn't have time for mountain pictures while house hunting, but I grabbed a few from the plane. It's going to be very cool to live here!
"Mama, what did you pack for me? What's in these compartments?"
He finally gave in. Such a sleepy boy...
"Mama, I'm helping unpack. Where do you want these diapers?"
