Besides the five passengers, the car was packed with two portable cribs, two booster seats, a twin size stroller, diaper bag, food bag, and four pieces of various sized  luggage. It’s exhausting just writing it all down! When we got there, we realized their apartment was not childproofed. After placing all travel gear in the appropriate rooms, we started moving all of their cutsie room décor to untouchable levels and covered up the potential danger zones with furniture. It was serious tetris-like manipulation. Immediately after babies were left loose, the DVDs and books from the shelves covered the floor. A once neatly appointed living room quickly turned in to a typical disheveled dorm room. The apartment owners (aka babies’ aunts) handled it all well and the birthday girl was so appreciative of her birthday company that it was all worth while!
