This particular morning started at 5AM rushing to get to the airport. Tip toeing around my room trying not to wake princess, (you know most kids would just sleep through it all, and eventually find themselves at the airport lying in the stroller with their PJ's still on... NOT my daughter!!) She woke up 5 mins after I did. I knew we were in for a loooong day ahead. We pulled up at the airport and she starts yelling, "pretzels Mommy, pretzels!!!" I didn't exactly understand what she was saying and went on. We were the last ones on the plane, and boy did we come on with a BANG! I had an over stuffed backpack, jackets, toys, juice and a camera bag wrapped around my neck, turning my hips left and right to make it thru the aisle. It was a small plane folks!...like only 15 people! E got her very own seat, and to a 23 month old that means a whole, whole lot!!!
She said to me again, "Mommy pretzels!" Oh!! Pretzels?? What? How did you remember that? Kid you are smart! ....thats what she was talking about earlier!! So not only did she get her OWN pretzels but the flight attendant gave her sprite and a straw, that was such an easy flight :) She played with her straw the entire time-go figure!
We arrived and covered Nana Ollis in kisses. Not seeing her since November i thought she would be a little shy.. pppfffff.. riiiiight.. she warmed right up to her by counting , and of course skipping the #7 along the way. It just wouldn't be right if she didn't skip Mr. 7.
I didn't bring many toys because I figured going to Nana Ollis' house she would find something to play with, and she did, pens, a concrete dog, and some yard ornaments.
We went to the Imax Theater and watched a story about animals, they gave us free popcorn and coke. E liked the free popcorn, why are the best things in life free?? I'll never understand.
We tried taking her picture with Nana Ollis and she was being stubborn, but that doesn't surprise me, her and Daddy are so much alike :)
We had a great time! Drank Coffee, ate, shopped, talked, laughed and yawned, of course all good things must come to an end. :( Those times will be cherished forever. Can't wait to go back!!
Love you Nana Ollis :)
