Fall Break in Utah - 5

We stayed at a hotel in Layton closer to Julie and Patrick Ransom on Sunday evening so that we could visit with them on Monday before our flight later in the afternoon.  Chris, remembering that there was an airplane museum close by that he had not visited, determined that we would spend the morning at Hill Aerospace Museum.  Amy was most thrilled by the F-16s blasting overhead.

Some of my peeps were more thrilled with the museum than others.

Misha was craving "tots" and said we should go to Taco Time for lunch.  We found one between the museum and Julie's house.

Those long arms are good for protecting tots!

We enjoyed time with Patrick and Julie and baby Kelsey.  Her birth was similar to Amy's and ended in an emergency c-section.  Such a tiny little thing...and cute!  My girls and I and Chris enjoyed loving on her.

We headed to the airport around 4 while Amy hung out with Julie and Patrick for a bit before driving back to Idaho.  So good to see my girl.

We all had pre-check and going through security was pretty slick.

As we boarded our Southwest plane, Chris made a bee-line for the lavatory and ended up talking with the flight attendant, asking the tail number of the plane.  This flight attendant had flown with Larry Kline many time over the years and remembered Chris from Larry's final flight.  Jacci had to come up to say hi to all of us and took some pictures, which she then sent to Larry.

Once we were at altitude, an announcement was made, "Would Chris Kline please push his call button? Just want you to know that your suitcase came open, but your batman underwear was put back in the outside pocket!"  It was a joke, but then they announced that it was his birthday and the entire plane sang "Happy Birthday".  The flight attendants made him a pretzel crown and had a good laugh.  We can thank Larry Kline for inspiring the flight attendants and letting them know about the birthday.  Chris loved it.
