Flight to AZ

Cason and I took a trip to AZ this weekend to see Amy, Brad and Kinsley.  It was the first time Cason has been out of the state of California and the first time we took a flight by ourselves.  Well it didn't start out so well as the flight was delayed 30 minutes upon arrival to the airport.  However, we were pros going through the security line without a hiccup.  Then after the 30+ minute delay and with boarding group A already on the plane, the call came that there was a weird smell reported by the pilots on the plane and maintenance had been called.  So everyone got off the plane with no estimated time of departure.  After about 15 minutes, they told us they were getting a new plane, but it wasn't landing for another 40 minutes.  With this news, Cason came out of the carseat and played on the airport floor to burn some energy.

Then we got on the flight, and there were a few middle seats open, the last guy to get on, walks past us and then comes back and asks to sit in the middle seat.  (secretly I groaned)  As he is sitting down, I comment, "sorry he may be a little wiggly on this flight due to the delay".  The guy took the hint and immediately changed his mind and moved seats.  Really, who sits down next to a baby when there are a lot of other open seats?  Guess I am becoming a pushy mom? Cason ended up being exhausted and slept in my lap/middle seat the entire way.  yay! All ended up well, 1.5 hours late.
