Reagan's first airplane ride

We've just arrived back from a whirlwind trip to Minnesota for the baptism of Reagan's godparents' second child, Jacob and a psuedo-surprise 30th birthday party for Chris Chapp.  The trip was Reagan's first plane ride and she was a champ on the plane.  The flight there was the most turbulent flight either Steve or myself had ever flown but Reagan didn't even bat an eye, as she slept through take-off and most of the flight.  She showed her true colors when she awoke though, as she would chatter and wave her arms and then look at the poor man sitting beside me trying to work, to see if he was looking at her.  When he continued to work and not look at her, she would raise the volume of her chatter and look at him again.  By the end of the flight she was not only shouting at him but also reaching out and touching his arm to get his attention.  

MSP was a nightmare coming home this morning though, with thousands of children sprawled all over the ticketing/check in areas in town for an international youth soccer tournament.  We barely made it through security and were amongst the last people on the plane after waiting behind the 10 year old boys checking their 3 foot tall Sponge Bob Square Pants toy.  After the crazy weekend of events, Reagan slept the whole flight and it now currently asleep in her very own crib.
