We decided to spend Christmas in Texas. My cousins Ben and Christi were also able to come in town with their families, so the only missing cousin was Brandon. This is the most of us in one place in at least 6 years. It has been great fun. However, it has also been quite the adventure.
It started in Washington where they are in the middle of the worst snowfall on record, and it is still falling. So on Sat afternoon, we all drove the 50mi to the airport hotel. The boys thought this was the vacation. They watched a video on the fold out couch and sat up giggling for half the night.
On Sunday, we were at the airport by 530a for a 740a flight. The flight then proceeded to be delayed...but not until after we boarded and shut the door. Did you know the airline supposedly gets fined for passangers, even kids, who are not buckled or in a lap after the door is closed? So I got to try and entertain two kids on a runway for over an hour. Yeah Memories!
We are counting our blessings though...we were on a flight that was part of only a handful of flights that even left!
