We flew to California for Thanksgiving to visit my (Heather's) family and introduce them to our newest addition. Keilah started to cut teeth before going and was absolutely miserable on the plane. One passenger actually growled "Pacifier" at me after we got off the plane! Unfortunately she thinks pacifiers are amusing play toys, not soothing aids. Taking a car seat on the plane was a life saver - I just strapped the grumpy child in and he/she eventually fell asleep. The flight home was better except that Zeke didn't get a nap (Keilah hogged the car seat) and insisted he wanted to be at grandma & grandpa's house - not home.
While in California we enjoyed a BIG meal with extended family, croquet, bowling, a ride on the Christmas Train (Chris's parents joined us for that one), and playing with grandparents' toys. The trip was far too short, but I was more than happy to leave the cold and get back to Hawaii's warmth. I hope everyone else had a great Thanksgiving too.
