Over the Hills and Through the woods to Grandma's

"On our flight from Anchorage to Seattle she watched movies most the way. She was extremely well behaved. We got lucky and had an extra seat so I was able to scoot over about 20 minutes before we landed after the DVD battery died she decided she want to lay down. So she got a ten minute nap in.
Before she fell asleep she didn't want me to touch her at all but as soon as she was asleep she moved her hand and grabbed my finger and wouldn't let go. It was a little cute." (Stephanie)
Joel said that she cried a lot and didn't want Daddy to leave. He took them to the Chile's in the airport to bribe her with ice cream and cake but she wanted Daddy. That made him feel good...to be better than ice cream and cake. :) The leash you see on her is also attached to Stephanie; so that during the trip Elizabeth couldn't run away. Elizabeth hated it but it helped Steph a lot.

Saying goodbye to Daddy was a bit hard. She had so much fun with Daddy and although she was excited to go see Granny Annie and Grandpa Larry, she wanted her Daddy too.


Stephanie documented their trip from Anchorage to Idaho with pictures and all. I'm so grateful that she was willing to travel with Elizabeth and minus a bit of exhausted drama...Elizabeth did really well.
