I love this pic of my niece and her son! He looks like he's not too sure what he's in for...but he's game for the adventure!
3 1/2 weeks ago Tabitha and I flew together with Ethan and Maggie to NC. This is the 'historic' pic of master Ethan's first flight on a Red belly Freedom Fighter! ( GO SWA!!) He did fabulously in spite of having his first solid food the night before and blessin' us with some smelly results to change. Maggie flew like a champ too, tucked "all the way under the seat in front" of us in her little carrier. It was pretty uneventful except for the kindness that came our way that changed it into a memory...
Not only did a neighbor offer to drive us to the airport....at 5am(!!!) but we were suprised when Tabitha was honored as we landed in NC. One of the flight attendants (thx Teresa) who befriended us, announced she was leaving for Afghanistan, thanked her for serving,offering prayers and good wishes on her way... then... the whole plane began clapping. Yep, we were bawling big wet tears after that one!
He was quite the good little traveler! This was the first of many of our aerial adventures, I'm sure. It really worked out nicely that we had the middle seat empty on the 2d leg of the trip...gave him a little play/stretch room. Ahhh...good times....
