We traveled down to Austin, TX to visit daddy's good buddy Travis from college. We were so excited to fly- there was so much to see!!! Our two favorite things about flying were watching all the buses drive around outside the terminal and we also loved watching all the airplanes taking off into the air.
We left Kansas City at 7:20 Friday night and got to Austin the same time horrible thunderstorms did. We wanted to sit together but couldn't because of the lack of oxygen masks for lap infants. This made the flight a little more difficult because Anna kept calling for Mommy- but at least Anna and Daddy had an empty seat next to them. Up in the air, things went great but instead of landing at 9:20, we circled the airport (it closed down) for over an hour. After landing at 10:30, we got out bags and then waited for our ride. After many tears, screams and mini nervous breakdowns, we all were in bed at 1 am that following morning just to wake up with Anna at 7 am (she doesn't sleep in- she wakes at 7 regardless of bedtime).
Our parents promised us and themselves to never fly again at night with kids........ they had thought Anna might fall asleep on the plane (Ashley was an angel the entire night- even at midnight) and they didn't even consider being delayed.... boy were they wrong! We were great on the plane, it was from 10:30 on that was a living nightmare for us all.....
We think it will be a while before we fly as a family again!
Much Love,
The Stilley Girls
