This is a picture of the boys when we first arrived at the airport...excited and anxious...
The flight we were initially supposed to take had been delayed from 2:40 to 4:15...which would put us cutting it VERY close making our connecting flight in Chicago. Ryan's dad called his travel agent and had us put on standby on a flight originally scheduled to depart at 1:00 PM, but was delayed until 3:30! Yeah! We RAN to the Skylink to go from terminal A to D...
Hold on Carter!
Enjoying the view!
So...we get over to terminal D, gate 23....to say it was packed is an UNDERSTATEMENT!!!! The flight attendant working the check-in counter at the gate didn't provide us with much hope telling us the flight was most likely full...SERIOUSLY....
The boys waited soooo patiently...I have to say, traveling with "big" kids is SO much easier than the days of hauling around babies, toddlers, strollers, diaper bags and snacks!
As the flight called for final boarding around 3:20, we were paged to the counter with the news that there weren't enough seats, and to top it off, our original flight was delayed further....way past out connecting flight...and another flight out wasn't available until Monday!
We called my parents to see if they could pick us up and take us home because we had NO transportation since we had already turned in the rent car we had due to my wreck last week.
We headed home, kids and parents severely disappointed, but once we arrived at our house, we turned the mood around by inviting my parents in to hangout while Trysten opened the Christmas presents they had sent with us yesterday!
Trysten's hamster cage!
Long story short, we are definitely sad, but Monday morning will be here before we know it...Yes, we will need to leave our house at 3:30 AM, but we ready! Oh...and that flight we were orinally booked on...STILL HASN'T LEFT DFW AIRPORT AND IT'S 8:00PM!!
SEE YOU SOON, POP & GRANDMA!!!
