So here Adi is on her first plane ride on our way to Oregon to visit my brother Shane and his family (wife Kris and step-daughter Maddy). We knew my parents were planning on being there for Thanksgiving and we didn't tell them we were coming... complete surprise for them! And woo hoo, somehow we pulled it off. They had no idea we were coming. It was hard to keep the secret so long!!
Adi's response to take off was, "wow, this is fun!" The trip on the airplane was so much more fun with Adi's excitement and enthusiasm.
She didn't sleep on the first flight to Minneapolis but she finally gave up her fight against exhaustion on the 3 hour flight to Portland. We had all been up since 1:30 am Thanksgiving morning so we could get on the road to Des Moines where our flight left at 5:00 am. Sheesh, that was rough.
Adi spent a lot of time just watching the clouds and the view from her window seat. She's a big fan of flying, though she'll tell you that she didn't like the pressure part, gum didn't always help.
Boomer and Adi got along really well, it took a while for Adi to realize that not all dogs are crazy like our Ihry and she could actually pet and cuddle with Uncle Shane's dogs. Poor kid, it really made me wish we had done a better job training Ihry to behave better, especially with Adi. Maybe there's still time...
Cousin Maddy's dad was in town so we only got to spend one day with her, but Adi really enjoyed the time she did have. She told me, "mommy, I really love Maddy". So sweet.
