Elias was a fantastic flyer. He fell asleep every time we got in the car or on a plane. Best. Baby. 
He slept on the plane ride and stayed asleep all the way through luggage claim. 
We grocery shopped the next morning and took turns cooking. We had a lot of treats...and no little people asking us to share a bite. :)
Elias rode in a grocery cart for the first time! He had this look ^ the whole time and didn't let go of the bar.

We watched the (horrible) Huskers game, but Stella made up for it...a new favorite! Not that I care about football...I still don't know the rules. 
The cacti were fascinating to me. I especially liked the prickly pears. The purple ones were so cool. 
On Sunday we went to Mass and there were lemon trees on the church grounds! They were heavy with fruit but not quite yellow yet. Unless they were actually limes...mmmm. I don't know. 
Elias was a champion traveler. He was so happy and easy going the whole trip. Well, until I accidentally ate dairy the last night...oops. Poor kid. 
The sunsets were unbelievable. The entire horizon was every color! So beautiful. We had dinner on the patio one evening.
Elias and I took a walk the morning he wasn't feeling well because I couldn't get him to go to sleep any other way, and we didn't get much sleep over night. He was on a nursing strike too. Oy. It was a nice walk. He threw his leg over the stroller tray, which i found hilarious. The landscape is such a contrast to what we have here, and I saw a real road runner!!! Which was super exciting, but the beginning and the end of my bird watching list. 
The plane ride home was eventful...a bird went through one of the plane engines so we had to land after circling for an hour and then start all over again. Elias was a champ again. Slept almost the whole time and played for the small amount of time he was up.
We got home late so we saw the big brothers and daddy the next morning. It's good to be home and missed. The big boys had all kinds of adventures of their own with Daddy and Grandma Kathleen!
