Made it...

We're back! In UTAH that is, greatest snow on earth right? Well um I really expected more or maybe I was hoping for more snow but sadly in Davis county it's almost gone. I also forgot how brown it can be here in the Winter. Makes me appreciate the green, tall trees I left in Washington. It's a short trip as we are only here until Thursday morning but nonetheless...happy to be here! McKenna is so funny she's been more excited than I have been to come. She's asked me several times over the last few days if it was time to go to the airplane yet. All day yesterday she'd say, 'Come on Mom, car...airplane." After explaining to her that we had to go to bed first and we'd go in the morning she finally asked to go to bed. In the past week I think she's really grown up as she gets things and communicates so much better.

I've had anxiety for days about traveling with 2 young children by myself and yesterday I did start to panic, you should see the stash of DVD's and treats I had packed. Airports have gotten better as the Seattle airport had the best lil play place for the girls and since no one was there at 7:30 this morning the girls had free reigh.

We were lucky enought to get the 2nd to last row in the plane, the only one with 3 seats together. When Tyler wasn't playing Peek-a-boo with the guy behind us or smiling at the flight attendants then she was looking for food. I think I spent almost the whole 2 hrs feeding her. The flight overall was really good. The girls were better behaved than I could've imagined. There were only a few screams when Tyler was stealing McKenna's pretzels...

Once we got here well I have to mention we kind of got stuck on the elevator. Talk about weird...the door closed and then the elevator wouldn't move, and then the door wouldn't open and then it would only open about 4 inches and it was moving really slowly. After yelling help and not getting any I was finally able to push the door open enough to get ourselves out. Last place I want to be stuck with my kids, my husband maybe...but definitely not kids.
