The Trip – Part II

The Park!

The weather is still so nice in Dallas! One afternoon, we went down to the park. Savannah finally got to go on a a swing – she was OK about it. At first, she was not happy, but then it got fun.

The slide was a much bigger hit – this is my new haircut by the way……

Then she decided that walking down the slide was what she REALLY wanted to do.

Weird color cast on these pictures but I like them anyway – they look sort of vintage. I think I should’ve cropped them square huh? I also got this new filter plug-in for Photoshop called Noise Ninja – it ROCKS! It completely takes grain out of high ISO photos. I shot these both at 1200 and they were super grainy, but now they look great! I shall now get off of my giant photo nerd soapbox…….

The Trip – Part I

The Flight – I was not nearly as freaked out as I was when I flew with Savannah back in March. However, I had no idea how she was going to react to sitting in aluminum tube for four hours now that she is more wiggly. I spent what turned out to be the best $150 dollars of my life and got her her own seat. I highly recommend it.

I wish I had a picture of all of the stuff I was carrying. I had this cool backpack that went around her carseat so I could carry it ‘hands-free’, her diaper bag, another bag filled with toys and food, her stroller and 21 pounds of baby.

She LOVED the airport. There was so much to see and people were running around and everybody was waving at her – it was baby heaven. We sat on the ground and pulled everything out of my bag and by the time we got it all back in, it was time to board.

It was time for her afternoon nap by the time the plane took off, but she was far too excited to sleep, so we played for the duration of the flight. She was wonderful. Thank goodness for tailwinds, as we made it in a little over three hours. By the end of the flight, I was running out of fresh ideas to keep her occupied.

Grandma and Grandpa met us at baggage claim and we went home and she fell asleep immediately.

THEN the next day we went to the park!
