Bee Family's Wandering Part I

Thoroughly enjoying the hospitality of first the Bee's Abuelitos Bueno, and then their Jacobson grandparents (and 8 year old uncle!), the Bee family is in a wandering state after their enormous exodus out of the land of Japan.  Queenie and her little hive are without a permanent house until at least May, so they are basking the warmth of family they have missed for the past 3 years.

'Most everyone from that day except Queenie who was buzzing about the camera....

Baby Bee had everyone wrapped around her finger when she ooh'd and aah'd over all their pretty lovelies...DH's Tia Socorro even let her try on some beautiful rings!  Baby Bee was thrilled.

Bee Family's Exodus Part IV

Baby Bee finally gets her beauty sleep upon arriving at her Abuelitos Bueno's house in El Centro, CA. 

Queenie's new accessory that is worth twice it's weight in gold: The Peapod, a kiddie tent that pops up with no assembly required, and as a zipper so the tot can sleep peacefully anywhere, anytime.  It's fantastic.  Better than a pack'n play, because it folds into a tote that a 5 year old can carry (Queenie knows this fact because Killer has carried it all over America at this point!) After our move, no matter where the Bee Family has traveled, Baby Bee has loved the predictable and secure environment the Peapod gives her!

If two little busy bee boys are shown an empty dirt lot with stacked miscellaneous items (aka trash) that most people would haul away at the soonest possible moment.....what do they do?! 

Make a train, of course! 

This must be a circus train because Queenie saw a caged lion in the middle car! 

Bee Family Exodus, Part III

After traveling for 20 sleepless hours, the bee family with their Marine Papa landed in Seattle airport...only to be greeted by a 5 hour layover (sleepless the sequel), and a flight to San Diego. 

By the time they arrived at their hotel, all 5 bees had been awake for 30+ hours.

Bee Family's Exodus Part II

4 hours at this military terminal.....before our journey even began!  Playing on the endless rows of hard plastic chairs was much more interesting since their little friend Coryn was there, as well

(waiting for the same flight as the bees).

Mr. Fumble Bumble and Baby Bee enjoy one last cuddle on the couch before the boxes start flying..... (and thankfully at that time, FB and Baby Bee were safe at loving friends' houses!)
