As per ‘tradition’, we headed up North when baby K turned 6 months old (a couple of days shy but who’s nitpicking?). We decided that we weren’t going to attempt bloody murder and drive up with 2 kids so Kathlene flew up with us whilst Jayden took the good ole North-South highway with the grandparents.

And it was non-stop madness the whole way through. Both kids travelled well by air (Jayden returned with us via air) and for that we are thankful. We were almost thinking we’d be like Wanda (of baby blues fame), shouting to the rest of the passengers to count their blessings. Thankfully aside from a little fussing at the start, they settled in well.

Jayden’s at the age where joyrides are fun and those were the thunderstealers for the whole trip. That and MacD’s happy meals. Old MacDonald never goes on a holiday it seems.

And this time round, armed with iphones and free wifi, photos get uploaded much faster.

So erhmm, next trip anyone?
