weekend before last we flew to raleigh (waleigh, as henry says) for gary's dad's Air America reunion. Gary's sister, brother in law, and our new cousin all met us there too. It was a great reunion of all sorts, Air America and Vaughan Family.
This marked Owen's first time to fly and Henry's fourth time to fly. We had a little over an hour delay (buckled in our seats, on the plane, with little to no air conditioning) both ways, but both boys did really well. Since we each held a child in our laps, we were not able to sit together (all four of us) due to the planes not having enough oxygen masks for two infants on laps. So that stunk ... I didn't get to hear Henry's reaction to flying, which he was really excited about. Maybe next time. The trip itself was fast and furious, but we all enjoyed ourselves. Our new niece was absolutely adorable. We were sad to leave - certainly wished we all lived closer.

henry zonked. this is a rare
occurrence for
henry. he's a good sleeper, but normally enjoys riding in the car so much he hardly sleeps when riding. he was really tired, and this was just the first day of the trip!
owen, awake in the car while
henry was sleeping. he was a trooper and was good old
owen the whole trip, easy going and sweet.

henry had a blast dancing with all the cousins. after they left he figured he was stuck dancing with his mama.
my uncle is in the british car club (he's the one who has the triumph henry loves). this is the car he found for calley and brian to ride away in - how unique! henry kept saying, "I like calley's mercedes. its nice!"
good times! congrats calley and brian!
