Long Flight

Today our morning started off very early with waking the kids up at 6 am to go to the airport.  The kids and I were off to Palm Springs, CA for a week to vacation with my parents.  I will admit that I was a little nervous and stressed about flying that far alone with the kids and was wondering why I said I would do this.  However, after a 4 hour flight to Salt Lake City and a 2 hour flight to Palm Springs we made it and am so happy we did.  The kids were wonderful!  Of course there were a few moments but nothing bad at all and I couldn't have asked for 2 better behaved children.  Here is to hoping they are just as good on the way home.  After the airlines had changed our seats about 4 times before we even checked in, Jonathan no longer had his window seat.  Luckily for him, he asked the guy who was supposed to have the seat if he would switch to the aisle and although he wasn't thrilled about the idea he did it.  Diana once again thought she was going to have her own seat on the plane which was a little bit of a problem at times but luckily we could all squeeze in the 2 seats we did have.  Diana fought a nap the whole first flight but luckily conked out on the 2nd.  Jonathan watched a couple of movies and played on the iPad for most of the time.  Diana was busy like normal and went through a lot of snacks, books, toys and was constantly up and down out of lap.  After about 2 hours of the first flight Jonathan started asking "how much longer?" and he would make comments that it was a really long flight.  It was a long flight(s) and we were all happy to get to CA.  I think one of the funnier moments was when we were landing in Salt Lake and Jonathan looked out the window and said "What?!?  There isn't snow in California.  Where are we?"

Our day in California involved checking everything out at the house, swimming and going to bed early.
