We flew out of Atlanta Thanksgiving morning. I was really anxious about security, given all the recent news reports about the amped up security. Don't believe the hype! We didn't experience anything outside of the ordinary, and in some cases they were more lax. On previous trips we've had to have Grace's milk specially screened.....this time, it zoomed right thru the xray machine with no questions asked.
Of course our flight was delayed. Thank you, Delta. But we managed to get to Granny's house with time to spare before the big feast with my Grandmother, Aunts, Uncles, Cousins, and my brother Don and his family. We had a really wonderful time.
Friday, we took Grace to the Children's Museum with Don, Josh and Megan. The kids had a great time; the adults had a good time, too. It's such a cool place. I can't wait to go to the one here and compare.
On Saturday, we went to Don's house to make Christmas cookies. Not sure Grace really 'got it', but she loved spending time with Megan and Josh.
Excuse Grace's 'thrilled' expression. I think they really do like each other. ;) And the cookie she had before we drove back to Granny's house had her on a sugar high like we've never seen before. I don't think she stopped talking the entire car ride. And it was mostly about Granny's dog, Tammie.
Sunday, we went to church in the morning. Grace did a little showing off and said 'Amen' loudly after the congregation responded in prayer. That got a nice laugh from everyone sitting around us. After church and lunch, we went to the Zoo with Don, Josh and Megan.
Megan is Grace's idol. :)
First Merry Go Round ride.
Monday we spent time with Granny and Tammie. Grace and Tammie didn't start off on the right foot, but by the end of the trip, were fast friends.
We were back to Atlanta on Tuesday. Again, zero issues with security. Just ANOTHER delayed Delta flight. By the time we got home Tuesday night, we had been traveling for almost 10 hours. It was a long day. But we had a really great time in Texas and it was worth it.
