We made it!!

They didn't kick us off the plane.  But it was an adventure!  Let's see...where do I start?

We got to the airport ok and I got the girls on the plane with lunch in their bellies.  Our first flight was a full one.  We had to go to the second row from the back to find two seats together.  A man sat next to me and his wife and daughter were in the row across from him.  It wasn't until we were about 30 minutes into the trip that Emilie was ready for a nap and Aubrie was settled and into a Sesame Street episode.  So I nursed Emilie and she fell asleep. 

And then I smelt it.  I immediately looked over at Aubrie who was leaning forward onto the tray in front of her.  "Do you have to potty?" I asked.
Yes!

Great.  I asked the man to let us out and luckily his wife asked to hold Emilie.  So I passed her off, which of course woke her up, and headed to the potty with diaper bag in hand.  I was trying to figure out how to latch the door and squeeze in and by the time I turned around, Aubrie was dipping her hand inside the toilet and getting that blue stuff all over her hands.  (I STARTED SCREAMING ON THE INSIDE!)

Have you tried putting a diaper on a kid in one of those bathrooms?  It was a nightmare.  Finally, we got back to our seats and Emilie was wild.  She no longer wanted a nap.  She just wanted to grab my IPhone that Aubrie was watching. 

But we made it!  Aubrie ran to Gram and gave her a big hug and told her all about the airplane. 

We have done so much since we have been here.  Mom and Dad didn't have Internet for the past 2 1/2 days and now that it is back up, it is pretty slow, so I'm not able to upload pictures.  Hopefully I will tomorrow.  So far, we helped Poppy feed the cows and horses.  We swam in the turtle pool.  We found golf balls and toys out in the dirt and played with those.  (Two little boys used to live here so the toys are army guys, race cars, and robots)  We rode Duke with Poppy.  Aubrie took one lap while sitting on the saddle by herself.  We've jumped rope, learned that bob wire doesn't feel good, and napped hard!  And it's only day 1!!  We finished off the day by dancing in Poppy's shop to Selena singing Bitty Bitty Bom Bom and we had Aubrie yelling Ay Ay Ay!!!!

We are looking forward to Daddy meeting up with us this weekend as well as seeing Robbie and Kasey and my sweet little Lindsay. 

Love to all! Pin It Now!
