Well, a few days ago we took on the task of flying our little guy across the country to Seattle. Sam has flown once before but he was much smaller and a lot less active. Needless to say we were pretty unsure how he would do with a six hour flight. Due to the last minute decision for me to join Drew on his trip, the only seat we could buy with our points was one of the nice cushy ones up front. I have to say, I was very spoiled. Having more room to reign in a very active little boy was very nice! Sam did a great job on the flight. He became 'buddies' with everyone up in business class and even took a few strolls down the plane smiling and waving at everyone - what a ham! Here's hoping the way home is just as easy! Here is a picture of Sam relaxing during the flight - he doesn't realize how good he had it!
Drew had a conference in Sun River OR this past winter and we made the call to tag along for a little vacation. Things were slightly dampened by the fact that it appears Cole has developed car sickness since the summer. Ugh. The drive was so long! However, it was worth it in the end and we had a wonderful time relaxing in an amazing little chalet, enjoying the snow, sitting in the hot tub, sledding and skating! Couldn't have asked for more fun! A stop at our favorite in Mt. Hood - El burro loco! A glass of wine after our 6 hour road trip turned into 10 hours due to car sickness! Right before our Owl Walk. We were told we could walk into the wood and hear the owls. What a bust! 3 cold and tired kids in the dark woods and no owls! It's now a running joke in our home as the tour guide kept 'hooting' trying to draw the owl's attention. If we want someone's attention in the house we often hoot at each other now...
