Today was the big day! The day had finally come that we were reunited with daddy! The kids all woke up in wonderful moods and ready to go to the airport! If it would have been up to them we would have left at 9am! We managed to get all our stuff loaded in the car and we were out of the driveway by 11:30....as we planned! We arrived at that airport and I thought we could do curb check in but that was not the case. We had to go in. We said our goodbyes to pops and nanny and Pinki came in with us along with the baggage guy. Check in was smooth. All the bags were under 50lbs and we said our goodbyes to Pinki and we were on our way to security. We got through security just fine, stopped for a flat white and some Wendy's and we headed to our gate. We did not have much time to kill. We boarded the plane and our seats were the very last ones, which worked out very well....we were right at the bathroom. This was a 2 hour flight and the kids did great. They had their moments, but on the whole Mabel's first flight was a success and Gusley enjoyed his second time flying and Ivy slept again!
Our connecting flight was in another concourse and we have some baggage and little legs so we did one moving sidewalk then a little golf cart guy picked us up! The kids were tickled with that! We made it to our gate with time to spare and had a quick snack and it was time to board. Then we had to wait and wait and wait. The plane was too heavy and they were asking people to give up their seats and such. Finally an hour after our scheduled departure time we were lifting off.
That hour of just sitting on the plane was not easy for any of us. But we are currently in the air and all is well!
We made it through customs and all our bags were on the carousel when we got there and as soon as the kids saw Jake they ran to him just as they had planned! It was super sweet and we are all happy to be reunited!
