First Flight 2018

The kids took their first flight last Saturday! I know it seems crazy since James is already 7 and Miranda is 4, but we've been able and eager to avoid air travel with them this entire time. They were super excited, especially Miranda. We flew direct from Kansas City to Boston.

With their suitcases at the Kansas City airport.

Initially, we had decided to each sit with one kid and divided all their plane activities accordingly, but as we boarded, Kevin suddenly suggested an alternate arrangement. Hm.

Miranda was more concerned about takeoff than James, having a natural understanding of the danger of sailing into the air. James looked out the window at the scene below and said, "It looks just like Google Earth!" Seriously. I guess it's 2018.

She was really excited about a new activity book we saved for the trip.

They were both excited about the snacks and the gum I let them chew to pop their ears

Kevin enjoyed the flight as well.
