Joys of Jet Lag

There is nothing like jet lag with 2 small children, in a small hotel room trying to have intentional, productive time! But it sure makes for some great family bonding. With only a 6 hour time change, it was agonizing to pull ourselves out of bed in the morning since our bodies felt like it was 2 a.m. And then we had little 12 p.m.-2 a.m. play times, since our bodies didn't feel like it was quite time for bed.

Yet regardless of what time it was, if Elli was tired, she would conk out. One time standing up. Austin then laid her down. Life still going around her, she was out of it!

In one of these late night play times, Ethan and Elli were playing cars. The younger sister of a very interactive older brother, Elli already knows how to play cars; including the car noises (see facial expression) and the necessary crashing (see overturned van!)

It was really quite cold in London but our rooms radiator was broken. There was no temperature control. When things got really hot, we opened the window and took clothes off. This is how Elli slept several nights we were there.
