Flying

We flew to Orlando yesterday for Marshall's work and for a little family vacation. I always get a little nervous before we fly because I never know how James will do on the plane ride. It was kind of backwards because we flew to Las Vegas first and then onto Orlando. James was able to sit in his car seat to Las Vegas since it wasn't a full flight. He did great and enjoyed pulled out the safety information before the plane took off.



Our flight to Orlando wasn't as pretty. They told us it would be a full flight so we didn't keep the car seat on the plane with us. Turns out there were about 2 open seats and so James got one of them. Thank goodness but I he would have been better contained if he was able to sit in his car seat. Since it was a 5 hour plane ride we decided to try Benadryl. It had the opposite effect and James was super energetic for the first part of the flight. I packed the diaper bag full of toys but he wanted everything but his toys. Marshall and I got creative coming up with our own games to keep him entertained. Luckily he eventually fell asleep for about 45 minutes but woke up when the captain spoke over the PA. We had to get out the Swedish fish to keep him happy for the last hour. Got to love flying with kids!

Hopefully the rest of the trip goes better!
