Logan's First Airplane Ride

Saturday, April 4th, was Logan's first airplane ride. At 17 months old, Logan isn't really keen on the idea of sitting still for extended periods of time, so needless to say,
I was worried about the flight.

He actually did a lot better than I thought he would. He only threw one screaming fit for about 10 minutes on the way home, and other than trying to touch the passenger in front of us, was a very good little boy. Of course we didn't follow all the rules like keeping a seat belt on the whole time, and leaving the tray tables up during takeoff and landings, but considering the alternative wasn't very pleasant, I opted to ignore the rules this one time. :D And thank heavens for portable DVD players, empty flights, and patient passengers - we couldn't have done it without you.

Getting a good look out the window

Watching a flick (and playing with the DVD player with the classic middle finger)

Oh, that is too cute! What a great idea to bring a portable DVD player! Where did you fly? Colorado?? Can you tell I have been out of the loop?

Did Korben get to go too? Did you go by yourself...that is brave if you had them both with you! I have traveled a few times with both my kids alone...both driving and flying, but it was all when Peyton was still a tiny baby that slept almost all the time.

We miss him! Good job, Logan! I'm so glad you made it to your plane on time. We cut it pretty close:)

I just recently flew with my 17 YEAR old and we ignored some of those same rules :D Of course, if mine started flashing the middle finger I'd have to try to end that but Logan just looks cute doing it.

I'm glad the flight went well!

I'm so glad you were both able to come and hang out with us. I had a great time with you and your Logan.

It sounds like all in all everything went well in the air. I am glad you had a good experience and am sure it was much easier than driving for over 12 hours one way! :)
