first flight

A week and a half ago we set out on our house hunt in Alabama. We chose to fly this time because traveling 12 plus hours in the car with little ones is not that much fun and is exhausting. 

We flew out of Waco to Dallas where we would then connect on a flight that took us to Montgomery. 

Not going to lie, after that short 20 minute flight to Dallas I was dreading the 2 hour flight to Montgomery. Collin had no intent of just sitting. We had pulled out every snack, book, iPad game and he was so restless. Little guy is a mover, so sitting still was hard for him. 

David lugged the car seats through the airport. We grabbed lunch at Chilli's and headed to the kid play area in the airport. (Such a great idea to have so kids can burn of energy before flights).

And then guess who we ran into? Ty and Brittany. Another time God intervenes and gives you just what you need. They were returning from their own trip from Alabama. It brought us each so much joy to see familiar faces who are in the exact same season of life as we are. They encouraged us, loved on our kids and even helped change a diaper...true friends.

We set off for Alabama. About the time the plane really got up and going I looked back and saw this sight: It was a beautiful thing to see. 

Owen was a pro at the whole traveling thing. 

He loved flying.

We were all thrilled to be on the ground in Alabama.
