We made it!!

So here is my airplane story (all times are Eastern Standard)...I checked online at 3:30pm and our flight was on time. We leave our place (an hour from the airport) at 4:45. We get to the Newark airport at 5:45pm for a 7:30 flight. As we were checking bags, we learned that our flight had been delayed until 9:00pm. YIKES! That is a 1 1/2 hour delay. So, we find a toy store and Kennan plays for awhile, then we go on to have a nice leasurely dinner. We get to the gate at 7:45 so I could feed Brayden. We boarded the plane at 9:30pm and go out to the runway. At 10:00pm the pilot comes on to say we are 20th in line for departure and will take off in the next 30 minutes. Another YIKES!! We finally get to Texas at 12:45am (Texas time) which is 1:45 in NJ. We are in the car by 1:15 and in bed by 2:00am (which is 3:00am in NJ). So 9 hours later we arrive at our destination...

But, I saved the good news for last. Our kids were AMAZING!!! Kennan loved the toy store, enjoyed his yummy pizza dinner, and watched a movie in the airport (courtesy of Lala's DVD player). On the plane, he played and looked out the window. He finally fell asleep at about 11:15pm after a bribe that included some $3 chips. You gotta do what you gotta do!! Brayden was also an angel. She talked up a storm, giggled, and laughed the whole time...unless she was sleeping. She made some new friends at the airport and slept for about 2 hours on the plane.

It was a ROUGH evening/night/early morning. But, I am thankful for my kids and my sweet, patient husband. We are here and looking forward to the next month in the great state of Texas!!!
