1st Flight
We started our trip around 7:00 pm on Friday, a little later than we planned but we were on our way. When we were almost to Illinois the snow started falling. It really didn't seem to be a problem until we were about 15 minutes from my parents house. Although when the snow started falling I told Bryan that if we were in Arkansas the state would have already been shut down, being that they don't believe in salt trucks. But we arrived safely about 1:30 am. Our plan was to get out of Wayne City early and get over to Edwardsville to spend time with Deacon. But instead we went and ate breakfast and then went to watch Cayden play basketball since we had never seen one of his games. We weren't surprised that he was great!
We only stayed for a few minutes and then headed out to Uncle Landon's house. Deacon had so much fun at Uncle Landon's. Landon always lets Deacon help him on the computer.
Deacon loved playing with Landon's TV, for some reason he kept hugging it.
He also loved playing with water bottles too. Uncle Landon even let him drink out of them all by himself.
Landon also decided to try to change his diaper today by himself, he later informed me that Deacon peed in the floor. He said he took off his diaper and went to throw it away before he put the other one on him. When he got back to the living room Deacon was peeing in the floor. He learned a valuable lesson today...you always put the new diaper on before you leave the baby.
Landon took us to the airport today so we could leave the snowy winter weather and get to the beach. We got to the checkout counter and found out that one of our bags was over 50 lbs, which I was not surprised. So after a little shuffling around we got all of our bags under 50 lbs and we were on our way to security. I was a little nervous about this aspect because I had never done it with Deacon. Not to mention I didn't know what the procedure would be to get his milk and juice through security. Thankfully, it all went very smooth. We did have to wait a few minutes for his juice and milk got tested but finally got the all clear and we were on our way.
Deacon slept for about 20 minutes on the way to the airport so I was a little nervous about how he would do on the flight. Before we even pushed back from the gate he was getting restless, I was afraid we were in for a very long flight. When we got ready to takeoff I had him sit on my lap so he could see out the window and before we were in the air he was out. He slept the entire flight! He woke up after we landed and were at our gate. We had a very sweet lady sitting beside us, and after the flight she told Deacon he was so good. She said she was afraid to say anything during the flight because it might jinx it. Needless to say his 1st flight was a success!
All through the travel process Deacon did great! Here we are waiting for Bryan to get our rental car.
Traveling can be so rough, especially when you are carried and pushed around all day!
We arrived in Marco Island about 7:30 where Kent, Chris, Leon and Dixie were all waiting and watching the Super Bowl. Deacon was so ready for freedom! He ran around like crazy and soaked up all the attention he could get.
