*A
brand new ear infection for McKinley
*Benadryl
for the little sweet peas runny nose (side effect is sleep- what do ya know?)
*After
a quiet ride to Atlanta-they were wired and no one wanted to sleep- this
resulted in all four members of the Barnes family sleeping in one king size
bed!
*1
large duffle bag, 2 medium roll bags, 1 tiny super hero roll bag, small Vera
Bradley backpack, 2 Britax car seats, one black bag for one of the car seats,
oh and 2 small kids.
*SECURITY!
Need I say more!
*Boarding
with the “families who may need attendance.” – with two kids ready for a nap.
*Taking
up an entire row- plus the isle seat on the other side.
*Portable
DVD player- that lasted the entire 4-hour flight.
*McKinley’s
4-hour nap on the 4-hour plan ride!
*The
look on Wyatt’s face and on Mimi’s face when they notice each other through the
glass window. 2 weeks is far to long.
*The
weather=glorious! I am so ready for fall!
*An
hour and a half ride to the cabin- again, thankful for the DVD player and the
ipad.
*
HORSES! Wyatt is in love with these two horses.
*No
cell phone coverage, no Internet, and no television. It was great.
*A
store, 10 minutes away, with extremely slow Internet, but still Internet.
*A
store 10 minutes away with a cute little restaurant. That only serves what they
want to serve. It was great.
*Staying
in your comfy clothes and not wearing makeup.
*A
weekly trip into town and trying to get EVERYTHING done and EVERYTHING you need
on your list.
*Kids
waking you up at 4 am because its time to wake up at home!
*Kids
finally learning to sleep until 7am! Yes, that’s 9 am Georgia time, and it was
great on the way home!
*Riding
out into the open.
*A
farmers market with great weather.
*Watching
Wyatt turn into a true cowboy.
*Going
to bed at 8pm- yes it was marvelous.
*Waking
up to 30-degree weather and then having to play inside until 10am, when it was
75!
*Your
two toddlers wanting to play outside ALL DAY LONG! Normally Wyatt says, “it’s
to hot!” He loved it!
*FAMILY
TIME! With no work distractions!
*Two
runny noses- we think that sometime was blooming but come to find out that Todd
and I both had bronchitis and didn’t know it, so who knows. The entire Barnes
family was coughing!
*An
hour and half drive- much on a dirt road- to town, a quick burger, two fussy
kids- then on the way to the airport.
*2
hours with both kids awake on the plane- went OK.
*A
40 minute connection- a bunch of crap to carry-hungry kids- wet diaper-in need
of milk- last to get on plane- wet through diaper-got Todd wet-extra diapers in
carry on, which is stored above our head- everyone looking- screaming baby that
doesn’t want to go to sleep- man behind us that wants baby to go to sleep-40
minutes into flight- SLEEP!
*Wyatt
not having a nap on the way home. The entire day! He passed out while playing
on mommy’s ipad at the hotel.
*Getting
back to the hotel at 11pm! At least they slept in until 9 am the next morning.
*Two
time clocks that remained on late mornings for the following week! Loved every
minute of that.
We
had a wonderful time with my parents in Montana. The were actually really good
on both plane rides, coming and going. Wyatt really enjoyed the horses and
playing outside and M just loves spending time with her daddy. Some of my best
childhood memories are from the time spend in Montana, and I want my kids to
have the same experience. I love seeing Wyatt’s imagination come out and
McKinley light up when she gets to just run around outside. It really is an
amazing place!
