We headed to Utah on Monday June 30th. The kids were so excited to fly and so was I. Although getting out of Des Moines gave me a little anxiety. We had severe storms all day long including tornado warnings. I was stressed about our flight being canceled, being on the road or at the airport if there was a tornado and making my friend drive us to the airport during the storm. The drive to the airport was pretty scary, the rain and hail was coming down so hard, it was dark as night at 1pm and the wind was blowing, plus there were reports of tornado's just west of Des Moines. Luckily we made it and my friend made it home safely. Our flight ending up being delayed but that was fine since we had a 3 1/2 hour layover in Minneapolis. Our first flight was quick and the kids did great. Asher actually fell asleep during most of the flight. During our layover we quickly went the the bathroom and got some dinner and then walked right on to our next flight.
The next flight was longer but it went great also. Greydon fell asleep just before take off and didn't wake up until we landed. The other kids were entertained by movies and activities I brought for them. We made it to Utah about 9pm and were so happy to see my parents.
