Lukey's Trip to Connecticut October 2010

Lukey, Grandpa Bill and I went to Connecticut to visit Grandma.  This adventure entailed Lukey's first airplane ride (he's now been on 4 planes), his first look at fall foliage, meeting his great-grandma and his great aunts and uncles, and hanging out with his favorite auntie Melly.

We decided to brave a red-eye flight thinking that Lucas is usually asleep at that time anyway so he would sleep both flights and not be too cranky. He slept the whole way to the airport but he woke up going through security. After that he was not interested in sleeping and started fussing. While we waited to taxi (which took forever) he screamed on the plane but as soon as we took off he was out.  He slept the whole flight, but unfortunately mommy didn't because it was the most uncomfortable plane ever. He was a bit more cranky on the second flight but fortunately it was only a two hour flight and then we were in beautiful Connecticut. We arrived to rain but that only lasted the first day and the rest of the time we were there it was sunny and beautiful.

Lukey was very excited to meet his great-grandma and her new puppy, Oliver Bear.  Lukey and Oli were both three months old.  

We went on a lot of walks by the river, on the Appalachian Trail, in the woods and around grandma's house.  Lukey played with Melly and her boyfriend James. He got to cuddle with his great grandma and had lots of play time with his grandpa.














We had large family dinners.





We even went apple picking.








It was a good first vacation for the little guy and I'm glad we got his first flights under his belt. Thank you Grandma for letting us come visit. 

Here is a little video of Lukey hanging out with Grandma.

Happy 60th Birthday Grandpa!

Old Grandpa Dave is not known to behave;As his birthday sneaks up far too soon;With 60 years down, he shuffles around;Trying to remember where he left his prunes.
Happy Birthday Grandpa! We love you.
