Up, up and away!!

Friday morning I sent Beau off with a hug and lots of love at 5:30 am. I tried to go back to sleep, but wasn't very successful. Elijah and I got up, got dressed, had breakfast, then Gary took us to the airport. We were really lucky on the flight because there just happened to be an extra seat on the plane. There is NEVER and extra seat on a Friday when you fly to Dallas on Southwest!! I sat by the window, Elijah sat in the middle and there was a kid (about 11 years old) who sat on the isle. The other kid played with Elijah the whole time, which was nice for me. We went thru a lot of clouds which causes turbulence and makes me nauseous. It worked out well that I didn't have to hold Elijah on my lap and try to fight throwing up. Elijah has absolutely no problems flying. Here are a couple pics...

The take off..

Speeding down the runway, Elijah has his hands up and is yelling "wee!!"

I'll post more later. I got a text from Beau last night. He said they were really busy, but they were having fun. They started the assent up the mountain this morning. Keep him and the rest of the group in your prayers.
