Gavin's First Flight!

On Wednesday, June 25 Gavin and I flew up to Utah. I was totally nervous because Mike had to stay home and work for a few more days before he comes up for the 4th. I didn't know how Julie and I were going to get through security with 2 babies, 2 car seats and 2 strollers...yikes! To make a long story short, everything went surprisingly well :) So, I managed to get everything packed up, got to the airport, checked in and through security...all we had to do now is board the plane and hope Gavin does well on the flight and pray his ears won't hurt!
After we got to the gate, Gavin asked where we were going and I told him he got to go on his first plane ride. I also told him that the plane was blue :) He was happy and smiled at me :) (ok, I know he had NO idea what I was saying, but he does smile when I talk to him)
"...at this time we will board all passengers traveling with children or infants..." I looked and Julie and asked if she was ready. So, we grabbed our stuff and started boarding the plane :) EXCITING! I can't count how many times someone asked us if Gavin and Crew were twins...it was pretty funny.

Here he is going down the run way...
Just after I got him buckled up he fell asleep. I guess all the excitment made him tired :) He slept the WHOLE time, I couldn't believe it.
We made it! This is us just after we landed. Gavin is still sleeping, and mom is sooooo tired!

As we got off the plane Julie asked if we could get a picture of the boys in the cockpit...I said that there is no way they would let us, but I was wrong. So, here is little Gavi and I with the co-pilot. Gavin trying to fly the plane :) I just love his little face in this picture!
After we got pictures the flight attendent gave Gavin a certificate for his first flight. What a fun experience we had! I can't wait for all the other experiences I'll get to share with my son :)
