Fantastic Frequent Flyers

Flying to Newfoundland 

wasn't much of a worry to me,

since I had the help of Cindy and Phil.

Flying back from Newfoundland was much more of a concern,

because I'd never flown with both girls by myself before.

Turns out I had absolutely nothing to worry about.

Both girls were rockstars!

When the flight attendant came around with our snacks

(Piper's favorite part about flying)

he asked Piper what she would like.

She happily accepted a packet of cookies

and a small glass of orange juice. 

She was so excited and happy with her snack,

that she looked up at the flight attendant

and exclaimed her thanks.

He smiled at her and told her that he was so impressed with her manners

that he wanted to give her a special treat.

He then handed over a full-sized box of smarties. 

My big girl was stunned into silence.

(A rare occasion!)

A full box of candy coated chocolate just for her.

She reacted as if someone had just handed her 

a cheque for one million dollars.

Ha!

Needless to say,

no matter how proud her mother was of her,

she did not get to eat that box of chocolate on the plane.

(I'm not that brave. 

Not even while on Ativan.)

We saved our treat and shared it with Jack 

once we arrived in Halifax.

I'm so proud of my tiny travelers.

Getting settled in our seats.
(Elliotte was still mastering staying in the sitting position!)

Piper checking out the buttons on her armrest,
while Elliotte has discovered her seatbelt.

Both girls notice the little televisions.

And now Miss E discovers the little buttons on her armrest.
There are lots of things to keep little ones occupied on a plane!
