We are off! Everyone's excited to be out of school and packed up for vacation! Dawson has been feeling a little nervous about flying an airplane. He was a little disinterested in the trip, but went along with it. We took a trip to the dollar store to get quite activity stuff to do on the plane, and Aunt Melissa brought over goodies for the plane as well. Sunday morning, our flights were all on time and things went pretty smooth. We spent lots of time in the airport at Fort Wayne and then in Dallas, Texas. We had Applebee's for lunch in Dallas. We had to rotate seats a few times when squabbles began, but overall it was a really positive experience.
We finally got our car and arrived at Grandma & Gramps' house in Lehi and were greeted by family and cousins. They prepared a great big feast of burgers and more to share with us and we felt welcomed. The kids pretty immediately connected with their cousins and started playing inside and outside. It was fun to see the friendships be so immediate.
The day was super long and we were exhausted. Everyone got showered and tucked in with Grandma's stuffed animals and smiles on their faces. Love, Love, Love.
