Adelynn and I have been in California for the last two weeks and then Cordell joined us for the last week. My mom had surgery so we flew out to help take care of her and then Cordell and Adelynn were in a wedding on July 5th in Pleasanton as well. Since we were so close, we drove to my Grammy and Papa's for the last couple of days and flew out from San Luis Obispo. The next couple of posts will have highlights from the trip.
On the way there, as we were waiting to board our plane, Adelynn met the pilot who invited us into the cockpit. When we got on the plane Addie got a tour of the plane and got to sit in the Captain's seat and wear the Captain's hat. Pretty Special!
Long story, but after getting delayed on the runway for about an hour because of weather we took off only to turn around about a half hour into the flight for an emergency landing back in Denver. We had to do a fly by for a visual of our landing gear from the tower before we were cleared to land and then all of the firetrucks met us on the runway.
Once we were off the plane Adelynn told everyone that, "Our plane was broken and we had to come back to Colorado." Our flight was canceled and after a long day in the airport, without a cell phone ( I had dropped it in the toilet two days before and had my replacement phone shipped to California.) we landed safely in Oakland. Yeah!! To our surprise my sister's flight had been delayed and she met us at our gate for a couple of minutes before she had to fly back to Arizona. Adelynn was estatic to see her, and I think her screaming and running to Aunt Laura was evidence to all around!

Addie is lucky she was able to sit there - I didn't think they did that anymore after 9/11. Very cool!
