Flight to Orlando

I didn’t think we could pull it off, but we managed to keep our vacation to Disney a secret from big sister K until the day we left (the procrastination helped since I didn’t pack until the day before).  We told her when she woke up that morning that we were going to Disney and the smile on her face was priceless!

We made it safely to Orlando on Saturday and surprisingly, baby M did pretty well on the plane… not excellent, but as good as can be expected, considering he didn't take his afternoon nap.  Thanks to the in-flight entertainment, big sister K was on her best behavior (she managed to watch the entire movie of “Monsters University” as well as some of “Scooby-Doo”).  The downside of it was that she waited until the very last minute to tell me she had to go to the bathroom.  While we were descending to Orlando and all passengers were supposed to be back in their seats, I had to rush my daughter to the potty.  Even all the flight attendants were buckled in their seats, so they didn’t even get a chance to tell us we weren’t supposed to be up.  Fortunately, we made it back while the plane was still in the air… but the drama continues.  M got really sick due to the pressure of the flight (his sinuses often bother him), and of course, baby M chose that perfect time to act up.  He started crying and for about 30 seconds, all the passengers around us must’ve thought we were torturing the kid.  Luckily, I managed to distract him by pointing out the window and showing him all the things on the ground.  He quieted down after that and was enamored by everything he saw outside.  M felt better once we deplaned, but vowed never to fly again without first taking medicine.

Be on the lookout for my next posting on our Disney trip adventures!
