Getting ready for Plane trip with Kids

We're going on a trip! So I'll be even more MIA than I have been the last couple weeks. I've read a dozen "preparing for trip with baby/toddler" and "activities for baby/toddler on a plane" blog lists. And while they've all been very helpful, I'm a minimalist. And I'll get as much as I can of what we need AFTER we get there. I'm sure it makes a difference that we're staying at a friend's house, and she has spare car seats. I did some Target gift card deals last week to cover some of that, even. Have I never mentioned I love Target? Because I really do.

Anyway, here's what I'm taking, in 1 checked bag, 1 personal bag, and 1 diaper bag:

• Smaller diaper bag for daily use
• Clothes & shoes
• Swimsuits, just in case
• A few diapers
• Wipes
• 3 empty bottles
• 2 empty sippies
• Miss Em's birth certificate (to verify age)
• Tooth brushes
• Hair things
• Dried fruit
• Baby food pouches
• Formula
• Juice boxes
• Snack bars
• Fruit strips
• Annie's Bunnies
• Suckers
• Leappad & tablet
• Headphones
• Chargers
• Plastic bags (for trash)
• Coloring book & crayons
• Small box/bin to set crayons in on the plane so they don't roll
• Olivia Travels book
• Small board book

At the airport:

• Check-in online before going, so no struggle there
• Wear Miss Em through if possible
• Notify them of formula, baby food, and juice boxes, take off shoes, put everything on the belt
• Go through, shoes back on, everything back in bag
• Let them play somewhere until we board - no rush getting on, seats are assigned anyway
