...to Iowa! We thought that since Hayden had her 2 month well-check and shots, it would be ok for her to fly! My Grandpa Vogel (Hayden's Great-Grandpa) is very lonely since my Grandma passed away on Nov. 20, and we though it would bring his spirits up a bit if he could meet and spend some time with Hayden! I have to tell you, it was the BEST idea! She is still young enough that she really slept through most of the flights...she didn't cry...she LOVED being carried around in the Baby Bjorn in the airport...she was SO interested in all of the sights and sounds...and got MANY compliments on how well she did! Hayden and her Great-Grandpa had some wonderful bonding time...he wanted to hold her the second we walked in the door. He would talk to her, play with her, and rock her to sleep. We even caught him lying on the floor with Hayden one night while we were cooking dinner...she was playing with his hair and holding on to one of his fingers! Keep in mind...he is 87 years old and can barely walk! It was quite interesting getting him off of the floor...
Anyway, we are very happy to have taken the trip. I could NEVER have done it without my mom and Josh with me. How do you breastfeed a baby in an airplane with people sitting RIGHT NEXT TO YOU!???!! Not quite sure how that is supposed to work...so luckily we survived!
Here are some pictures from our trip:
The cemetary where Grandma rests peacefully...her grave is on the far left/middle. She gets to see the sunrise every morning and has an AMAZING Iowa farm country view!
