We don't have any pictures of this, even though we were a sight to see, you would think we have never traveled in an airport. It starts by dad dropping us off and the luggage kept coming, kind of like all the clowns out of the Pinto. We get in the door and we can't figure out which way to go, some guy asked Zayne if we got our boarding passes on online, when Zayne said yes the guy directed him to the security check--did he not see ALL the bags we were dragging. And I will have to send out a thank you to my sister-in-law--wheels were worth tht $10 extra dollars. We get over to the ticket check-in and there are three different entrances, why I do not know because once we maze through all of it with all this we all end up at the same place. We finally make it to the ticket counter and she doesn't ask me or Zayne for any ID's, just one for Kamryn, oh and did I mention if I don't have one it was going to be very expensive. So now, I have to dig to the bottom of the nicely packed carry on and find her shot record. Okay, finally made it through that, next security. Again several choices, and of course we made the wrong one. So now we hear hey you, over hear.
Security--we now have to unload everything out of the stroller so they can wipe it down with some stuff and put it in some machine to make sure it is not radioactive. Take off everyone's shoes--even Kamryn's, these people obviously have no small children with shoes. We (I) put everything through the machine, so now there goes our boarding passes so we can't leave and now the guy who just sits there staring at a screen screams there is a backup. I know there is a backup it is because I can't get to my stuff due to the fact that I scanned pieces of paper. Okay, finally on our way.
Our gate was full, so we went to the next gate down; however, never heard the boarding calls. We finally make it over there and realize they have already boarded A and the families. I go up there to see if we can still family board, I give him the boarding passes thinking we have finally made it. He scans it and says they are no good, I have to go all the way over to check in to get it straightened out. I make it over there and then the gate guy says over the loud speaker, will the lady with the stroller please come back. WTH Apparently he had the wrong screen and there was nothing wrong. Finally on the plane--row 22.
We have what was supposed to be a short stop in Oklahoma City to pick up and keep going. Everyone staying got off and they let the rest of us move--we moved up to 8, but that was about as far as we got. We sat on the runway for what seemed forever, the captain kept coming on saying just a little while longer until finally at 7 (which was when we were supposed to land in St. Louis) said we are turning around and will let us deplane until we could get clearance to leave. The wind was apparently too bad to take off. Kamryn is now getting very restless and running out of diapers and mom is starting to get anxious and feel completely out of control. I was glad to get off the plane so I could change her diaper, I had a talk with her and told her we only had one diaper left, so hope we can make it. I went on a search to see if there were any golden airport diapers, but everything was closed. I came back to inform Zayne, well he had a surprise for me. Kamryn was so excited about having a clean diaper, she pooped. Great, we now have to use the last diaper with no idea when we are getting out here.
Finally, at about 9 we are heading to our final destination. The flight was quite rocky, but we were in the air. We finally landed in St. Louis, it was definitely not the high 70's weather we left in Houston. We gather the "small" pile of luggage and off to find our ride. This was quite the adventure. We are now here in St. Louis to enjoin all our family adventures, so it was all worth it. But I bet the people around us were just having a hoot. I will post pictures of our weekend next week.
Happy Easter to everyone!!
