The Airplane Ride

We were able to to go Montana to visit the other 1/2 of my family. It was great to see everyone and spend time with them and such a nice reprieve from the Texas heat! I didn't tell the boys we were going to Montana for a while because I was afraid I would be asked 100s of questions about when/how/where and any other mixture of questions about going. When we finally told them they were extremely excited. We were amazed at how well they traveled! We started our day off leaving home at 8am, driving 4 hours to Dallas, flying to St Paul/Minneapolis with a 3 hour layover, another flight to Kalispell, and finally arriving at 12am local time! They all did great! We got several comments about how good the kids were and how crazy we were for flying with 4 young kids!!

Radley wore his backpack around the house for about 2 hours the day before we left.  I guess he was making sure it wasn't too heavy for him!!

The bear we found in the hotel where we left our van while we were gone.

Riding the shuttle and enjoying picking their seats and not having seat belts!

Waiting for our plane to arrive!

Two things I love: Texas and ice cream!  That's happiness to me!

So grateful to have Kenney around to help make up games for the boys to play while waiting for the plane.  He's so good at it! 

They loved being big and sitting by themselves!

Walking through the St. Paul / Minneapolis airport.  They loved the moving walkways!

Thank goodness for airport play areas!

This was just what they needed!

They were so excited to be on the plane!
