We survived the holidays! And we made it back out west for a few days after Christmas :) It was a wonderful adventure, going to the airport, checking in for the service flights, going up, going down, going up, going down, ice storm delays, swimming in hotel pools, and visiting family that it's been way too long since we've seen.
Every single day we were there was declared the best day ever by Monkey, for nearly two weeks after we got back we had the daily question of when we would go back. It was an absolute success. The children did so incredibly well for the flights. Smarty and Daddy got to ride in the cock pit for the whole flight between Ottawa and Trenton on the way heading back east. Awesome for them, lots of tears for the exhausted other ones. But they survived as I knew they would.
