We're Home

We survived the flight home. Melly had a really tough time on the first flight, unfortunately there were no empty seats this time so she sat in our laps the whole way. About halfway through she finally fell asleep, but not until she had thoroughly annoyed everyone in a 3 seat radius. No one said anything, but I do feel bad for the poor guy that sat next to me. At one point Melly dripped her bottle on him, and I know she kicked him at least once.

The second flight was better, the plane was smaller and she could see out the window and that kept her busy.

We were supposed to have an hour layover in Denver, but our first flight was late in arriving and even later on departure. By the time the fasten seat belt light blinked off our 58 minute layover had turned into an 18 minute layover. To further complicate things we were changing airlines and still didn't have our boarding passes for the second leg. Fortunately the airline had a map of the Denver airport and we could plan our race. After a brisk jog with Melly in the stroller and a quick train ride we arrived at the gate, 3 minutes to spare. Unfortunately our luggage wasn't so quick. It had to catch the next flight 4 hours later. It was a pain, but Delta was nice enough to give us a loaner car seat to get home and delivered the luggage later that day.

We're so glad to be back in Utah, if only we could have brought the weather with us. Well not the rain, but I wouldn't mind having a high temp of 75 everyday.

Try traeling with 2 lap kids and not being able to sit together because of lack of oxygen masks. What a headache. Be happy you did not come home to the valley, i think it is suppose to reach 107 this week. Miss you guys and enjoy the 90' weather and traveling with one lap child because it could and will be worse next time you fly when you have 2 of them so close in age. Love Ya!!!
