A.B. Kagledom: A Trip to Bellevue (Without Going Insane)

The seven Kagle boys (Jonathan, Matthew, Bradley, Jeffrey, Simon, Andrew, and Adlai) hadn't been together since Adlai's birth so we decided it was time to take our first trip with Adlai - up to the Bellevue Kagles. We left at the crack of dawn on Friday morning, spent Friday afternoon and evening letting the boys play, participated in a neighborhood Easter egg hunt on Saturday, and drove to the mountains on Sunday in the rain which soon became heavy snow. We returned on Monday evening and have spent the last two days washing poop out of all of Adlai's outfits and taking Simon to the doctor for a minor ear infection.

We imagined that this wouldn't be the best of weekends - not because we don't love the Bellevue Kagles but because our boys plus travel equals just as much fun as slowly driving toothpicks into our eyeballs. Alas, it was a weekend with little to complain about - even for us. Simon didn't sleep the first night but did really well the second night and passable on the third (thanks to Auntie Laura). Both boys were in perfect form for the flights even though Adlai managed to poop through every diaper and outfit and spare outfit from here to Seattle. Would we do it again? Definitely.

Thank you Bellevue Kagles and Friends for a delightful weekend. Laura took a dream photo of the boys which I will post as soon as I sweetly persuade her to send me a copy. In the mean time, here are some other pictures:
