oh baby drool...
gray was chillin' on the floor while we packed up and headed to oregon. i'm glad i snapped a couple of photos before we took off, because i didn't unpack my camera the rest of the day.
it was only a two hour flight, but i was really anxious to see how gray did on the flight. we didn't let him have his bottle the couple of hours leading up to it, hoping he'd drink it on the plane so his ears would pop (mine are SO bad at popping). we got bags checked, made it to our gate, and waited to board. in the 15-20 minute wait, gray went crazy and started to scream like a banshee. you could see everyone eyeing us, hoping we weren't on their flight. i just knew we were going to be "that" family with the baby that screamed the whole flight.
as we were getting in line to board, an older man from a different flight came over to say hi. he told us, "we've all been there, don't you worry one bit!" it was so reassuring :)
luckily, it was a half-full flight, so we could choose where we sat. we headed all the way to the back, so we could bug as few people as possible. he was better on the plane, because he was fascinated and finally had a bottle. we started down the runway and as soon as those LOUD jet engines came on, he conked out. nothing like engines to lull a baby to sleep, haha.
he slept for most of the flight and was really pretty good. flirted with the flight attendants. ate some puffs. napped with his dad.
we landed and auntie barb came to pick us up in our "new" minivan :) i still haven't gotten photos of it, but we love it. SO much nicer than what we were driving before! and only 30,000 miles! and FREE! yeah, we were spoiled.
we went back, took a nap, and then visited with grandpa del, marlene, auntie barb and her boyfriend whose name i am now spacing, but who makes some of the best pie we've ever had! gray loved everyone, especially the chickens in the backyard.
i should have brought my camera, but i did snap a token two photos on my phone of the entire day :)
