saturday, july 24, 2010. we had a 2 hour drive to the airport. our flight was scheduled for take off at 12:15 pm, which meant we had to be out of the house by 8:15. i'm happy to say we were only a little late. it was so much nicer getting up at 7:00 am vs 3:30 am like we did to make our flight here.
beautiful storm clouds to the left.
abraham the happy traveler.
levi whistling. he just whistles all the time while he's doing stuff. even aunt mic noticed it.
train. levi's soooooo excited.
back through windmill country.
love the contrast. OLD red farm house next to a reNEWable energy source.
we got to watch our plane roll in. i was in a total panic here because joshua packed the metal finds from the 3rd sunday market in one of our carry-ons. we were stopped at security because they were considered blunt instruments. joshua had to go back to the baggage check in and wait for them to find one of our bags to put them in, then go back though security. it seemed like he was gone forever. luckily he made it back to us before priority boarding.
the kiddos and i in our seats.
papa caught a pic of us reading our safety instructions. thanks pops.
levi was so interested i had to go through the whole thing twice!!! we did the same thing on the flight to illinois.
abraham eating snacks.
i think this is part of the mississippi.
abraham in motion. we didn't check abraham's car seat in this time. he was too much for me to handle towards the end of our flight to illinois. he kept wanting to go in the aisle. i'm so glad we lugged it. it was a lot less stressful with him strapped in.
levi turning orange from his munchies.
yay!!! this is what i hoped abe would do. i think if he had been in his car seat on the flight to illinois he would have napped then too.
munchies cheese fix=doritos, cheetos, cheese flavored sun chips and pretzels all in the same bag. levi devoured them.
then it was levi's turn to crash. he slept the whole rest of the way. i tried to wake him up as we were landing , but he missed it.
shortly thereafter, abraham woke up super happy, as always.
awesome clouds meant not so great flying conditions. i get so freaked out with turbulence. really i don't know if storm clouds have anything to do with it. i always swear that i'm gonna look up turbulence online, hoping knowledge will make me less freaked, but i never do. knowledge or not, next time i fly i need xanax!!!
pretty little clouds. the pilot told us we might have noticed that we were trying to dodge some thunderstorms. oh yeah, i noticed. we were always doing crazy banking turns. the worst was i could see lightening out our window. apparently airplanes are beefed up to absorb lightening though. my dad informed me of that AFTER we landed.
reading one of our favorites. twinkle twinkle little star, the extended version.
we went from nothing but green, to nothing but brown. but hey, it's a dry heat right? man i'm gonna miss illinois humidity and all!
