The girls had their first plane ride! Dad flew us up to Akron to see Baby Andy. Suffice it to say we do not have the next Amelia Earharts on our hands. Lainey started to scream as soon as the wheels started to roll and stopping briefly to nap due to sheer exhaustion only to start up again for the last 20 minutes of the flight. Katie screamed as soon as we strapped her in and then spent the remainder of the trip glaring at Dad and Brian in the front seats. Brandon happily sat in the back with me and was proud to point out when we landed that it had been his longest flight ever.
Driving the rented van home was unexpected, but the girls were much less dramatic in the van than on the plane. A bit longer of a trip, but safety first!
We were even able to celebrate Great Grandma Lib's 86th birthday with her on Memorial Day. Grandpa would have loved to hear all of us singing "Happy Birthday Dear Sugarplum" I can totally see him squinting and saying "my work here is done."
