March 4, 2009 - California

Highlights from today: (click here for the pictures)
We woke up this morning with Anderson stirring. After getting his pants wet, he demanded to put on his shoes and socks. So he tossed and turned in bed for the next hour or so wearing his pajama top, shoes and socks. The phone rang soon after-the airline! Our flight was delayed so we would miss our connection. They had rebooked us so we would get home at 10 instead of 6. After breakfast we loaded up to fight the LA traffic and get to the airport. Since our Randy's Donuts was on the way, we decided that we would take one more try at finding it (see Sunday's post). Well, our GPS was right on the money this morning and we drove right to it. Anderson, who said "eat donuts?" for hours after not finding in the other day, was the first to find it today. Reagan was so excited and kept thanking Anderson for finding the donut place. Mom had her picture made and Dad bought everyone a donut. Dropping off the van at the rental car place was easy and we hopped on the bus and were quickly at the airport. We were actually surprised at how short our wait in the security line was. We had a little time at LAX before heading the Denver. Flying over the mountains near Denver was the roughest plane ride we had ever been on. Reagan didn't seem to notice and the boys had slept the entire time. At Denver, we walked across the whole B concourse-seriously, we walked for over 20 minutes to get from one gate to the other. Fortunatley, James caught a cart and beat us there. After a snack and a little downtime, we were back in the air to Little Rock. The boys went back to sleep on this plane ride and Reagan and Mom read books. When we get on the planes, Anderson finds his seat and then puts his backpack under the seat in front of him. The Dennie kids are seasoned travelers. One time Dad asked Reagan what had favorite part of Disneyland was and she grinned from ear to ear and exclaimed "the escalator." The off-duty pilot infront of Robby laughed out loud and then told the guy in the seat next to him! Yes, our kids would enjoy the mall as much as anything else. But Mom and Dad are making lots of memories! Jason was there ready to pick us up and the kids were all in bed by 11ish. Mom and Dad had a little bit of unpacking and blogging to do before bed.
