As a funny aside to that...Ty was in good spirits and began passing out fruit snacks to family members sitting close to him. His exact words were, "Fruit snacks for you. Fruit snacks for you." And then very expansively, with arms outstretched and a bit too loud for church, "Fruit Snacks for everyone!"
Lynette, Chris and doggies left after church for the westside. They had no major travel issues and then headed to Chris' parents to retrieve Chris' dog, Max.
Melinda left Monday to fly down to California for a celebration honoring Landan's grandparents. She was able to connect with our neighbors and dear friends one evening while she was there. She'll get back just in time for school.
Bret, Laura and Ethan had their own late night adventure trying to fly out of Spokane on Wednesday. The weather was awful so we got them to the airport early, hoping that they could get on an earlier flight. They didn't make it on to the earlier flight which was good because that flight sat for at least 2 hours on the ground waiting to leave which wouldn't be a lot of fun, but definitely would have been ultra uncomfortable with a baby; even one as good-natured at Ethan.
The plane that Bret, Laura and Ethan were to take was 3 hours late getting to Spokane so that meant they were over 3 hours late departing. By the time they got back to Utah they had endured a marathon evening of waiting and hoping and then finally leaving Spokane. We're so glad that they got home safely.
What a difference a half hour makes! After dropping Bret, Laura and Ethan off Michael white-knuckled it to get home. Seriously, there had be an accident every 1/2 mile. Most of them were westbound I 90;we were going eastbound, thank goodness. It would have been difficult to have even gotten to the airport if we had left any later than we did. Besides the multiple car crashes there was a semi-tractor trailer that had jack knifed over all the westbound lanes right by our exit. It was crazy out there!
Stay safe in 2011!
