A Tale of Two Travelers

When mommy flies with Corbett...

First, she pays extra for a nonstop
flight in order to minimize travel time.
She packs a backpack full of snacks, 
toys, and books and proceeds to 
entertain Corbett on her (pregnant) lap 
in a completely full flight.

3 1/2 hours into the flight, she hears 
over the loudspeaker that the Salt Lake 
Airport is closed due to weather. 

So she is grounded in the tiny 
airport of Grand Junction, CO.

With a tired and hungry toddler. 

And 9 other planes and their passengers.

For 2 hours.
(At least Corbett loves airplanes!)

Then, she is instructed to get back
on the packed flight with son on her lap
and wait on the tarmac for another hour.
(At least we were given pizza!)

The Salt Lake Airport finally reopens, 
and mommy and Corbett arrive 
after another hour or so in flight.
(At least Grandma and Grandpa
were there to give mommy a break!)

When daddy flies with Corbett...

They curl up peacefully and 
sleep the whole flight. 

The end.
