Denver Trip: Traveling

Last Friday, we flew from Shreveport to DFW and on to Denver, CO to meet up with Grandma Sheila, Papanui, and Aunt Kara to see the Denver Broncos beat the Dallas Cowboys!!

This was Mira's 5th big trip (third airplane trip) so far! She's already one well-traveled Wolfe!

We tried to let her burn as much energy as possible before each flight! She had SO much fun walking around and seeing everything/everybody! She would stop every couple of steps and pull her hand out of ours so that she could wave to everyone!

We pulled out all the stops in order to keep her entertained on the plane - looking out the windows; opening & shutting the windows; looking at SkyMall magazines; tearing up/eating the safety instruction cards; making a puppet out of the paper sack; playing peek-a-boo with passengers behind us; waving at everyone; visiting the bathroom (three mirrors!); and, of course, we had tons of new toys and snacks & drinks to keep her occupied!

Open...closed....open...closed...(hope we didn't give our fellow passengers a headache with this game - better than a screaming infant, right?) Check out that hair!!


No caption needed here. (I LOVE this picture!)


Mira trying her best to climb over the seat and get to the friendly couple behind us!


Mira got multiple compliments on each leg of the trip (that's four different flights in all!) for being such a good girl! Kenny and I realize that gone are the days of packing a book to read or crosswords to solve for the plane trip. Here and now are the days of constant entertaining, diaper changes in tiny airplane bathrooms, and nearly collapsing when our bundle of energy decides to bless us with a nap!

Ahhhh....finally, a little rest for all of us!
