Glad there was a Pilot!

Our landing in Las Vegas was VERY bumpy! The wind was blowing so we had a ruff time coming into the airport. We had a lot of sided to side and up and down. Austin thought it was pretty cool. I was a little nervous. There was a church group of kids that were about 11 years old that were really loud. Their leaders were not much help in calming them. Some of the other passengers were a bit annoyed. The actual landing was really pretty smooth.

In Las Vegas we were supposed to be there for just a few minutes while people got off and then on again, but we ended up having to change planes. So we had to hurry off to get to another gate. This time when the pilot was greeting people, he had strange fake teeth and thick bottle bottom glasses on. Austin was confused. "That guy didn't look like that before! What is wrong with him?" I tried to explain to my newly turned six year old that it was funny. Austin did not appreciate the joke, he just thought the guy looked weird. So thanks to the pilot and his "joke" Austin asked every few minutes if he still looked like that even when he was flying.

Since the landing had bumpy in Las Vegas, they warned us that the flight might be bumpy into Ontario. Then Austin was concerned about the bumps even though there weren't any. It ended up being a rather uneventful flight. As we landed this time, Austin says rather loud,"I thought they said it would be a bumpy ride." Oh the joys of being 6.

We headed out of the airport and got our rental car. Thank you Uncle Jarred for the car. They even gave us a free upgrade to a small SUV. It didn't matter to us what we drove, we just needed it to get us to Disneyland. The drive was pretty uneventful. I was a little nervous about driving on the Southern California freeways, but it was about 10 pm by the time we got on the road so it was smooth sailing into Anaheim.

We checked into Super 8 and slept pretty well!
