While Mama and Daddy prayed and fretted for our super hero and her super siblings, Emmie was plotting and planning for her first plane ride. I’m grateful she had this “fun” distraction for the tough week and half that laid ahead.

As soon as we were seated she began, “Are we flying? Are we flying? Hey daddy! Are we flying yet?” She must have asked us at least twenty times.

Tobin did good. He slept for a couple of the hours going and the whole way back. We were hoping to get him a seat but we got our tickets so late that another ticket would have been terribly expensive. So, he rode in our laps and it worked out fine.

Emmie managed naps at take off and landings.

She also made sure she knew what to do in case of an emergency.

We were so grateful to be able to have our tickets provided by Miracle Flights. This organization was great to work with and Southwest was a great airline to fly with.
