Plane Ride...

So, we had a crazy time before we left for Hawaii so I haven't posted anything about the reunion for my side of the family (Alpine Days) but I will when we get back because we had lots of fun. The kids played with cousins for days, went to the kids rodeo, parade and fireworks. So it was busy leading up to it... but those pictures are all at home.

But the kids and I left for Hawaii (we're here now) to visit Jeanna. I was REALLY worried about the nearly 7 hour flight... but it went ok, and in all but the food issue we were prepared. Last time we were on an airplane we were fed some sort of food. We left home in the morning just after breakfast time and the plane left around lunch time and so we basically skipped lunch. So the kids were starving and they served nothing. Little packs of pretzels just didn't do it for my kids. So, I ended up buying gross food that my kids still didn't eat and therefore things got a little sticky towards the end there.

But as far as entertainment goes, there were screens in front of every seat! There were plenty of options and I wish I had no kids with me. As I browsed through all of the options I thought to myself "I would really enjoy 7 hours of just time to read/catch up on movies I haven't seen... " (LOTS of good options). But didn't get the chance. I did get in about an hour of just tv time for me when Kate fell asleep for about an hour . Sam watched Monsters vs. Aliens about 3 times (another downfall... they didn't have lots of good kids choices on the movies, but a couple of free games).

We're glad to be here and the ride back the kids will hopefully sleep and I'll get my 7 hours of tv time in :)
