yep. but they are fine. they usually stay up all night with cousins playing games and all that stuff. when you're older like that, you fall asleep anywhere.

So there are 6 of you... and since you said cousins, 4+ people already at the place you are staying? 10+ people in a two bedroom place for over a week? That sounds awful.

Recipe for disaster. Family or not, it's not a good plan, to be honest.

The 1 year old would be in a pack-n-play, the toddler in a bed. I wouldn't attempt to do what you are planning.

Yeah, over a week sleeping on someone's floor sounds unbearable for both you AND the hosts. I would never impose my family of five on someone's house (especially if it's only a two bedroom!) for over a week unless it were some sort of emergency. I'd find a hotel.

Six guests including two toddlers coming to stay for "more than a week" in a 2 bedroom house? Your hosts are saints.

Just took a trip with a 1 year old. $40 pack and play from Walmart delivered to where we were going. Luckily it could stay with the In-Laws for the next time we need it (or for their other grandchildren).

Mattress/airbed on the floor. That's where my kid always sleeps when we visit my parents. Used a travel cot when she was 1.
No guest room but I sleep on a sofa bed in the dining room.
