Our Trip

Little K and I just returned from Philadelphia. We went out there for a week to visit my sister and her kids. Well more to babysit her kids. She was at a conference, and was out of town. We had a BLAST. I was super nervous about the traveling. The flight out there was flawless. Little K fell asleep at take off on the first flight and slept the whole way. The second flight was great too. THEN the way home was an adventure. I am good at making short stories long so here it goes!

We arrive at the airport exactly 60 mins prior to our departure time. I check in and they inform me that the flight is delayed 30 minutes.

We can handle 30 more minutes.
We get to our gate and K is being so great. We board the plane and still she is being awesome. Everyone around us is super nice and she is putting on a "cuteness show" where the more they say she is cute, the more she puts on a show. Well we get lucky and have an empty seat between us and a older gentleman. As we start taxiing down to the run way, we STOP! The captain gets on the PA and says there is a ground hold at O'Hare because of flooding and rain so we have to park and he would know more in 30 mins. AHH, I start to panic but try really hard to not freak out about a 1 year old busy body sitting still for more than 30 mins more than the nearly 2 hour flight. 30 mins pass and the captain comes out of the cockpit (never a good sign) He says "I want to say this to your face, we are scheduled to take off at 12:26. It currently was only 10:30. OH MY HECK! We were to sit on this plane for 2 MORE hours.
It was a miracle from above, but K did SO awesome. The man sitting next to us loved her and the played the whole time. It was great. BUT the best part of the flight was when the captain said to prepare for landing. I set K in the seat next to me and start cleaning up her toys and books. If asten my seatbelt and reach over to put her on my lap and see her eyes flap shut and her head drop. She crashed. I couldn't help but bust up laughing. She then slumps over and her head lands on her new friends lap. She was OUT COLD. We land and we get off the plane and I put her in the stroller and she doesn't even open her eyes at all. We missed our connecting flight and had to wait in a line a mile long to get a new flight home. Well we get a flight scheduled for 2:30 and it was delayed to 3:00. We eat and go to our gate and before long it was delayed to 4:10. Well we didn't even board the plane till 4:15. We Finaly get home a 6:00pm. We should have been home at 1:00pm. It was a very very long day. But all things considered, Little K did AWESOME. The best 1 year old!

I will have pictures to post soon. Just no time now
