Spring Break - AZ - Day 1

We flew to Mesa for Spring Break on Monday, March 2. Apparently the camera was set wrong because all of the pics have the wrong date on them!

This was Brighton & Rigley's first time in an airport. We flew out of Springfield, which is a nice, little airport. It is wonderful when traveling with kids b/c it is so small, there aren't big lines or much ground to cover between check-in, security, and the gates.

Here is Brighton exploring the airport.


Rigley had not napped ALL DAY until we got to the airport - did I mention that our flight didn't leave until 8pm? He was quite fussy the whole day until he finally drifted off for a short nap.
Here are the boys on the plane. It was their first flight; we even got them a pair of wings and a commemorative certificate that the pilot signed.
Brighton was allowed his bin-bin on the flight so he could suck on it during take-off and landing to help his ears adjust.

Brighton & Rigley did really well on the flight. Even though he hadn't napped that day, either, Brighton didn't sleep at all on the flight. He watched Cars on the portable DVD player and colored.
Rigley slept pretty much the entire flight. During his nap, though, I noticed that he was feeling warm. Sure enough, once we landed and I could check, he had a fever. Brighton had been diagnosed with RSV-induced bronchiolitis last week, but was doing better & the pediatrician told us to go ahead and go to AZ because the climate would be good for him.
