Flying the friendly skies

Emma was so excited to go on the airplane. I had to wake her up incredibly early so that we could get to the airport on time and we had a couple of stops to make before we left town. Luckily we timed it perfectly so that once we made it through security and got down to our gate, they were already preboarding, so we got to go right on.

Emma was so proud to have her own seat and her own seat belt.

Emma thought that since everybody else was reading the magazines in the backs of the seat - she would too. She actually looked at this thing from cover to cover.

She did great on the first leg of the trip until about 10 minutes before we landed - then she was ready to get down. Then we had a two hour layover. That gave us enough time to get to the next county to find our gate (why do they have to make your connecting flights at different ends of the airport) and get some lunch. Unfortunately, the entire 2 hours, I got to hear Emma repeat over and over and over "I want to get on that plane" "Where is my plane" "I want to get on an airplane". I don't think I had ever been so thankful to get on an airplane in my life :-) But about 10 minutes after we got on the plane, she went to sleep. Since she was sleeping on me, I wasn't able to reach the camera and take a picture. But take my word for it - she looked really cute!

We haven't done much since we have been here. We did go to the zoo (I will post those pics probably after I get home), and of course we had church yesterday and a cookout after church last night. But I have been a little sick for the last couple of days, so I am trying to take it easy.

I hope everyone has a blessed Memorial Day!
