First – she got a “First Flight” certificate! I’m planning on framing it – thought about making some big thing with pictures from the trip too… we’ll see if I’m really that adventurous.
She was a little hesitant about handing over her Strawberry Shortcake suitcase to “the nice man” but did it. She sat by the window from BHM to Detroit. Thoroughly enjoyed the tram and moving sidewalks at their airport. She slept through takeoff on the Detroit/Hartford leg and woke up 5 minutes before landing. On return, she fell asleep just after takeoff from Hartford and we had to wake her up in Detroit. Again, she enjoyed the tram and moving sidewalk… repeatedly. She mostly sat in the middle seat, but frequently got views out the window once the seatbelt sign was turned off.
She thoroughly enjoyed staying with Uncle Charlie and Ms Kay – she read their books (Ant & Bee… really really long, but cute) and playing with their toys (we’re rethinking her Christmas list!). She also enjoyed meeting and visiting her Gigi. Oh! And Paige, Theron, and Baby Sylvie were a hit as well!
One aside on the toys.. they were blocks and cars. She’s line up some of the blocks and drive the cars over them, sometimes jumping. We asked, “What do you say when the cars jump?” She said, “Yee ha!” Yep, she’s been watching too many Dukes of Hazzard reruns with her daddy! LOL
She had a big week – flew in airplanes, road a school bus (the shuttle from airport to car rental place), met new people, watched squirrels play, climbed mountains and rock walls… *phew!* Wears me out just thinking about it! There are pictures coming – I promise!
