On Flying with Kids

An interesting experience...
People enter the plane and see us with the children... some smile, some say bad words, some give dirty looks, some tell stories about their kids, but all try to get reseated far away from us.

Usually the other passengers are pleasantly surprised, and say, "wow, your kids do so well!"

Today was not that day...
On one 45 minute flight from Ohio to Washington D.C.
We had a 2-3 fits, 12 snacks, one silly laughing fit, w. was the loud talker the entire time, and s. demanded that all people look at her and admire her. When they ignore her, she continues screaming louder and louder until they look at her and then she laughs. The other passengers did not! That flight ended with the man in front of us putting on his brown sports jacket... on the back of the jacket there was a large piece of sticky brown goo. There is no proof it was from our children, but they were both annoyed.


Great day... our next flight from W.D.C-PA went MUCH better--- even with a hour and twenty minute layover! They did great.

We are in Lancaster, PA at a Howard Johnson hotel. I chose this hotel because there is an indoor pool and water park! It was fun to see Weston swim with his little floaties!

I'm glad you all made it out alive. We never flew with you and Shauna when you were little so we have never experienced the joy!

Miss you so. :)
