Here we are on our first flight. Sam was soooo excited to ride on a "puh-pane" and did really well, all things considered. The first flight he and I sat together with Daddy behind. The second flight we all sat together and fell asleep for most of the flight.
The last flight was horrible! We had a three/four hour layover in Newark, NJ. Now, had we known that it is only 2 1/2 hrs to Kayla's house from there, maybe things would have been different. We kinda just hung out and didn't really get anything to eat because we had munched all day and weren't really hungry. Then, because of weather in the east, we sat on the plane for 45 mins and were de-boarded. I told Robert to go get some food (he had to ride a bus to another terminal and find an ATM because they take cash only) since they had told us it would be at least an hour before we could get back on the plane. Fifteen or twenty minutes later, they tell everyone to get on the plane. Robert is still out getting food. Needless to say, it was an extremely stressful situation with having been traveling since 3 am. We ran to the door just as they were closing it, so we made it.
Sam and Gracie oblivious to the chaos surrounding them
The storm that had caused us problems at the airport reached the Marble's house in Thomaston. It was an actual tornado. Thank goodness no one was home! Two large trees in the front and five in the back were damaged, but amazingly the house was fine! We spent the majority of the day Thursday helping clean up the trees and Robert got to put his chainsaw skills to work!
