On December 5th, Lilly and I boarded a plane for Utah for our extended Christmas break. Now, Lilly has flown plenty of times and has never been motion sick, but this time was different. For the first 2 hours she watched videos on my ipod, colored in her Strawberry Shortcake coloring book, and played with play dough. The second 2 hours were VERY different. She started to tell me that her tummy hurt, so we got out the barf bags. She threw up about 7 times over the next 2 hours.
When we landed I just wanted to get off that plane as soon as possible. We were sitting at the front, so when the plane landed I jumped out of my seat to get our bags down and make a run for it. As I was pulling our 2 carry on bags down, I looked over to see Lilly move her sick bag away from her mouth and throw up all over the seat and floor where we were sitting. A kind old man behind me grabbed a cheap Delta blanket and threw it over the seat so it would be easier to clean up. I sat back down and waited until everyone got off and then drug Lilly off the plane and on to safety.
We spent the next 4 days in Utah at Gus's parents house. Lilly played with the Henshaw cousins and the McEwan cousins. She couldn't get enough of all those kids. She also loved playing with her Grandma and Grandpa Henshaw and Aunt Emo.
I shopped, hung out with Megan, and went to lunch with my friends Rachel and Natalie.
On Monday, Susan and Vernon took Me, Lilly, and Emo to the lights at Thanksgiving Point. Lilly had a great time hanging out the car window and looking at all the lights.
On Tuesday night, we went to the "This is the Place" Park with Gus's family. It was really fun to walk through the pioneer houses, make fun little crafts, ride the train, and see the reindeer. At the end the kids were able to sit on Santa's lap. Lilly didn't want to but stood next to him and told him that she wanted a new iPad for Christmas.
On Wednesday, we went to the Thanksgiving Point Dinosaur Museum with Megan and her kids. It was so fun! Lilly loved digging in the sand.
On the 9th my dad picked me and Lilly up and drove us to Rexburg, and the next day Megan, Mike, and the kids joined us.
