Kylie's First Time On An Airplane.....

I have so many blog posts I need to do, so here goes.....

Feb. 17th, we got up early and were at the airport ready to leave on our 8 AM flight to Phoenix.  An 8 AM flight is hard enough, but even worse when having to get a baby there also!  So....we get checked in, thru security~though her bottles kept making the alarm go off and they finally had to use the paper stick thingy to check them, boarded the plane, and then......not long after we boarded we noticed that no one else was getting on the plane and there were maybe 20 of us on there and it was supposed to be a full flight.  We then find out that there was something wrong with the plane and the mechanic was on the way, we could either get off or stay where we were.  Well, there were some nice people sitting near us and we just all spread out and decided to stay where we were and talked. 

I bet no one else has ever enjoyed the safety info card as much as Kylie did!


We kept getting updates and it turned out to be a relay that has something to do with telling how much fuel is in the plane.  They found the part and we were told it would be a 5 minute fix and then we would be on the way, this was close to 3 hours later.  They then resumed boarding, got everyone on board and seated and then we were told that the relay didn't fix the part and that the flight was cancelled!  So we had spent 4 hours at this point on the plane and hadn't left Houston!  Kylie was great though :)  We were able to book a flight for the next morning at 6 AM, yes, 6 AM, that is way early to be leaving!  Then getting our luggage was another hassle, it took forever!  I think partly because they had been loading and unloading luggage the whole time we were on the plane as they were able to get people with connecting flights booked onto other flights and they would have to find their bags to get them on the correct plane.

trying to be patient while waiting for the bags

Wow, what a day that turned out to be! I haven't tried flying with N, I am actually kinda nervous just thinking about it. How was it with K?

Kylie did great on the flight! I was very nervous and didn't really even want to go, but family was coming in from out of the country that I hadn't seen in over 3 years and didn't know when I might would see them again, so I went. We got a lot of compliments on her and how great she did! The rest of the vacation was good. I'll be doing more posts, hopefully today if I have time!
