A Flying Trip!

 

Over Thanksgiving we flew to Auntie K's House for a week. The airport and plane ride were new adventures for the kids and provided some good entertainment for those around us I am sure! :) Starting out we got to the airport at noon with time to spare. We sat down before going through the security to eat some lunch. People watching was the only 'attraction' while eating. At one point a person walked by with pink hair and wild tights. Big Guy pointed and said 'Look Mommy!' 

After going through security we had to go down and escalator...for most people this would be nothing new but out here on the Frontier there are not many escalators...so the first one was quite intimidating to the kids. Then next one we came to Big Guy decided 'I can do this' and went charging on ahead only to come to an abrupt halt before summoning the courage to step on. 

Next came the train ride to the right terminal. This was a big hit with all the kids! This is apparent by Big Guys 'rare' smile for the camera moment. Little Britches was so busy checking it out he would not look at the camera.

 Walking down the ramp to board the plane. All kiddos were a bit apprehensive but excited at the same time.

 Waiting for take off!

 It didn't take Little Britches 5 seconds to figure out the seat belt! However it did provide LOTS of entertainment and kept him occupied for a while anyways. No he does not like to sit still.

 We had one plane change on the way to our destination. So after the first takeoff experience the kids knew what to expect. After that each take off was greeted by a chorus of Wheeee!!! From the kids and yes, I am fairly certain the whole plane could hear them!

 Finally arrived at our destination! We got lots of CW snuggles while we were there. He is such a fun baby and so sweet and cuddly!

We flew on Thanksgiving day so we postponed our dinner till Saturday. Preparing a late Thanksgiving dinner.

 Momma Bear brought felt to make turkey napkin rings for dinner. Big Guy helped put the eyes on the turkeys.

 The finished product.

 Dinner is served!

 A Before Bedtime Bath! Momma Bear likes to bathe the babies in the sink. CW had fun splashing water ALL over with his feet!

 Big Brother "washing" Little Britches' hair.

 Bath time with Auntie K is so much fun! She had this bath foam for the kids to play with so they were covering themselves with it. Right behind this tub is a mirror so they could see themselves after getting all foamed up.

 Flying home again. The trip home was more like we were seasoned veterans of flying. The kids knew what to expect and Little Britches actually went to sleep for an hour!

 We had to change planes once. This was landing before changing planes. The snow on the mountains was so pretty. Pictures never do it justice!
