Adventure, Day One

Okay, I'm a little delayed in this posting, but everyone can get over it.


We took off at 12:30am Sunday morning for Sea-Tac Airport. Both Joshua and Aniella were asleep before take off, but with the chaos of having to set up Joshua's car seat, and Aniella being passed around, both kids woke up, and neither of them was very happy. But, once we took off they were completely fine.

My nephew, did however, decide that no one was allowed to sleep. The minute we would close our eyes, he was adamant about waking us up. "Wake Grandma..." "Don't go to sleep Mama." "Auntie Ana! No Sleep!!" And once we were up and alert, he consistently wanted to remind us that the plane had wings. Though, we were a little freaked out when he informed my mother, "Grandma.... the wing is gone." But, it was just dark and he couldn't see anything.

But anyway, we landed in Pittsburg around 11am EST. (8am PST) and made our way to Johnstown, PA. We arrive at my grandmother's by 2:30ish where I rushed to take a shower. But, I didn't think about the fact that my hair is still bleeding its color, so I ruined my grandma's white towel. But oh well.

We had dinner schedule with the entirely of the family (give or take a few relatives) at Eat n' Park, which is a variation of Denny's or Shari's. So, nothing special. But, I was placed next to cousin who, even though he states that he loves me, I can not stand with every fiber of my being. Every word that comes out of his mouth is garbage and is always about killing things, or bragging about tough he is. The majority of his stories are made up but neither he nor his parents will admit to it. But, I stomached the evening and made it to my Uncle John's and Aunt Liz's home. My Aunt Liz is amazing. Even though she isn't technically my aunt, seeing as she isn't married to my uncle, she is still more of an aunt than any of my others (Which ticks off one of them...)

But I very much enjoyed my evening with them. We just watched some TV together, but my aunt Liz is an angel, and my Uncle John is the most hilarious person and only has to breath to make you bust up in laughter. Plus, they have these two boxer dogs were are crazy and fun, so it was a dull night. Also, I had a really nice night of sleep which I very much appreciated.

All in all my Sunday was relaxing, for the most part, and good opening to my trip. Ha, but today, that was a completely different story for a different day.

Goodnight all. It's almost 1am, and I should really be watching TV. :)

Haha... flying with little children is always fun.

During the return trip from Alaska, the plane was going through some tough turbelance. It was bad enough that everyone in the cockpit was a little uneased but the pilots were doing their best and there's not anything one can do. My littlest brother however decided that he would help out the mood by shouting out, "We're all gonna die!" My dad immediately clamped his hand over his mouth as people started glancing over and noticabily becoem more and more worried. Dad offered a mix of apologies and words of encouragement but kept his hand over my brother's mouth for the duration of the landing.

It was pretty funny. The things that little kids will say (and older "kids" too) often bring a smile to my face.
