We were able to check this plane our quite a bit but were not able to fly it out. We were all set and ready to go meet Corey in San Antonio for our new adventure. We were offered an opportunity in May to come out for a year. I didn't think we would ever do it but here we are. We're here for a year, as of now, and we'll decide after that if we need to stay longer.
This is the flight we did end up taking. We flew out of Cedar with a three hour layover in Salt Lake. It actually went really well. We did have a lot of help from the two guys who were with us. They work with Corey and were very patient, especially with Shaylors fear of escalators.
The first one was epic. Both kids really wanted to ride so I went on with the stroller. I forgot that Shaylor was top heavy because of his backpack and he tipped backward. I was just behind him and caught him against the side with my leg. Forgeting that the side doesn't move with you, I realized it was pushing him down head first. I switched hands on the stroller and was trying to lift him up behind me but was laughing so hard I could barely hold him. The guy behind me was one with us and was willing to help lift him up. The look on Shaylor's face was pure shock. We cheered when we all made it off safely. He stopped when.he saw the moving sidewalks. :)
We decided to stand on the first two. After that he started to feel more comfortable. With each escalator after that I had the stroller in one hand a would reassure my traumatized child while holding his hand with the other. He did really well, but was very excited when we were able to use the elevator.
