We've come home

We're finally back from our two week long vacation, well I shouldn't say finally because we did have a good time, but 2 weeks would probably be an okay amount of time if we had stayed in one place for the whole time or maybe 2 places, but do to certain situations we moved around quiet a bit this trip and traveling with kids isn't the easiest thing to do and Sunday was a long traveling day filled with some interesting experiences.

We left my moms house in Rigby, ID Sunday at 10 a.m. and drove to Salt lake city airport, thanks again mom, to catch our flight back home that didn't leave till 4:36 p.m. We flew out of salt lake to save some money, but unless we are just going to visit my sister in Wyoming, staying in Utah or we get a rental car, this is the last time I will ever do this, sorry Alan. Luke was a brat the entire time we drove to the airport, yes I just called my child a brat, which made me very nervous because a bratty kid, yes I just did it again, in a small confined space that we can't leave for a very long time, aka a plane just doesn't go so well. Thank goodness we had some time before we had to board the plane and Luke was able to run around for a while.

I was so happy to fined out that both planes we flew on were three seats on each side, so we could all sit together, which made nursing alot easier. The kids did great for the first flight except that it got a little too bumpy for Sammy at the end and she threw up a little bit. Our second flight was more eventful.

To start off the plane was a little late getting in, so we were late boarding. As we were boarding the plane I noticed a man in hand cuffs boarding our plane and a US marshal or boarder patrol or who ever has the right to bring prisoners over state lines I don't know, that's right we had a criminal on the plane, Alan then pointed out to me well at least we have some members of the armed forces on board, so if things get out of line we'll be okay. Just as we were leaving the gate the flight attendance notice a panel in the ceiling was missing, so they had to call some one to come fix it and we had to wait for that to get fixed. As we were taking off I heard a very strange noise and Alan informed me it was just the landing gear folding back up, I asked him are you sure he said yes. Sammy fell a sleep right away and Luke followed soon after but half way through the flight we got our drinks and needed to put a tray down I couldn't use mine because Sammy was in the way, Alan couldn't use his so we were going to use Luke's, big mistake, we had to move him slightly to get it down which woke him up and he began to scream for about 20 min we were now the parents with the scream kid that we all know and hate when we fly. He finally fell back asleep and all was well for the rest of the flight. Every one was really nice and told us it was no problem and that are kids did actually pretty good compared to what it could of been. We got in late and then our luggage took for ever to be unloaded. We finally got home at midnight and went to bed.
Since this was a long trip I will be blogging about it for a while and maybe some updates on the kids and present life mixed in. Pictures and more stories coming up in the next few days.
