Life outside the bullpen

Vacation with a few surprises 

Erin pov: it's been over a month since we got the scariest phone call that any parent could ever have gone but thank God the kids were safe but sadly we did lose somebody and that was Alvin , he was trying to be a hero, but then got killed by the shooter, the kids took the nearest pretty well about two weeks ago was his funeral and it was a great service. The kids school had finally opened back up. The kids have gone back to school, but tomorrow we plan a family vacation to North Carolina for a couple weeks and likely for the kids all of their friends and their cousins can join us so right now we are getting things packed up

J= is that everything we needed
E= yes, it is for two weeks long vacation
J= this seems like a lot
E= well we do have six kids, one who is a baby and you we also have a dog that's coming along with us
J= again why do we have so many kids?
E= well for one it was fun making them
J= that it was
E= and besides, we make some very cute kids together
J= oh yes we do ( kiss her )
E= now that it's all packed up I need you and the kids to put it in the car
J= all right you got  it hey kids  come help
PJ= coming Dad
EG= we are on our way
JR= I'll help out
JW= I don't want to help
E= Jonah you are so much like your uncle will, you know that.
JW= I know I am
J= vagina if you don't help, maybe you won't get to go on this fun family vacation we have planned
JW= all right I'll help
E= figured so have fun guys me and Ezra will watch
JR= oh, I wish I was a baby again so I didn't have to do that

As Jay and the kids load the car up with our stuff, me and Ezra  look on and then once the car is loaded up, everybody goes to get their shower and get changed into some comfy clothes for tomorrow morning. The kids fell sleep pretty much right away.

J= the kids are asleep that just leaves Ezra and us
E= well he's almost asleep so that means it's just us now
J=  yeah we probably should head to bed since we got a long and fun day ahead of us tomorrow
E= yeah, we maybe we should but I think we have enough time to play at least one round of Scrabble before we go to sleep
J= well I don't see why not let's go

We do head off to bed and play a quick/slow round of scrabble and then we head off to sleep or alarm clocks wakes us up at 6 AM for 8 AM flight to North Carolina and once we wake up, we get the kids up and ready And then into the car. We arrive at the airport within 45 minutes. We get checked in and wait by the gate for our plane to start boarding.

AR= Erin why did you choose such an early flight? I hate waking up this early.
J= Adam don't you have kids to wake up early?
AR= I do have kids, but they actually like to sleep in past 9 AM so I'm not used to waking up this early
E= maybe that's why you're always late to work at them
KA= oh man she got you, Adam
EG= mom can I sit next to Violet on the plane
E= we will try and see
EG= all right
PH= hey kids, how is it going?
J= hey Dad I'm glad you guys can make it
PH= I wouldn't miss it
DW= I'm surprised you guys didn't want to road trip to North Carolina instead of taking an airplane
E= well we thought about a road trip at first
J= but when we looked it up, how long a drive would be it said it would be 13 hours but including all the stops that we would have to make with the kids we have it would be most likely 15 hours.
E= so that's why we decided to do an airplane ride instead of a long ass car ride with all the kids
PH= that makes sense
J= oh yeah

They finally announced that it was time to board our plane. Once we got on the plane, we let the kids choose where they wanted to say then we were on our way to North Carolina. About two hours. Later we landed. We got  our rental cars and then headed to our Airbnb's. Once we settled, and we all decided to head into town to get something to eat.
