On Thanksgiving, the kids and I left for Puerto Rico to see my parents at the end of their mission. It was quite an adventure. The last time I had flown with just Sadie I swore I'd never do it again. So why I thought it was a good idea to do it on my own with two kids, I don't know. Needless to say, I was a bit too overwhelmed to mess with a camera. Here are some of the highlights of the trip from Rachel's camera...
Sadie and Aunt Rachel waiting for the ride down to the caves.
Rowan stayed behind with Grammie and PopPop since it was going to be slippery. Turns out Sadie was scared and wanted to be carried the entire time. I would have been better off with Rowan! We just sang Hiho, hiho and pretended we were going to work with the seven dwarfs. It helped, a little.
Next we visited a lighthouse. There was a beautiful view of the ocean. 
Brycen and Sadie were as cute as can be and had so much fun together!
Rowan got to finally meet Grammie and PopPop on this trip. He loved being carried by my dad, just like Sadie did when she was a baby.
Just one of many visits to the beach. Sadie kept asking when we were going to Puerto Rico. She thinks Puerto Rico means the beach. She was too excited to put here bathing suit on.
I love my little man. Being away from Mike for a week, I was finally able to recognize the similarities between him and Mike. Everyone calls him little Mike. My dad said he was glad Rowan was there so he didn't forget what Mike looks like. 
Brycen and Sadie racing up to the fort in San Juan. 
I just love seeing my parents wearing their missionary badges. So proud!
Sisters, plus Maryn and Rowan.
Someone's all tuckered out. We learned that Sadie is still able to fall asleep anywhere. A skill she has possessed since birth. On this trip it normally followed a great big fit!
Church in Vieques was a little less reverent when the Button family was in town. We nearly doubled the attendance and added an infinite amount of noise. The people there were so sweet and welcoming. I remembered many of them from our previous visit.

Sadie found her daddy a starfish as promised.

Looks like y'all had a great time! It was SO GREAT to see y'all at Christmas. We can't wait for y'all to make another trip to AZ!!! Maybe one day I'LL be BRAVE enough to fly with all my children & make a trip out to NC!!
What a fun trip! I'm so glad that you were able to go again. I absolutely love the picture of Sadie asleep on your Dad's shoulders and the ones of you holding up Rowan at the beach. He's a cutie!
