Over the River, and Through the Woods...

We head out tomorrow to Grand Rapids, where we will be dropping Henry off with Mark and Gayle and then heading into Chicago for a wedding over the weekend. While we are all very excited to see Gayle, Mark, and many of Mike's friends, we admit to a bit of apprehension over the flight. Our last plane ride with Henry was in March, when he was still pre-walking (and pre-temper tantrum over the inability to walk whenever he wants). So, this will be an interesting trip. We have loaded up enough snacks to keep the entire plane alive for about 4 weeks, and were lent a portable DVD player, a Barney DVD, and a Baby Einstein DVD (shudder). As you may know, we have been keeping Henry away from TV as much as possible - in part because we don't want him watching much, but also so we could "save it" as a treat for things like flights and long car trips. Tomorrow we will see if this plan has backfired on us - his lack of exposure to TV could just mean he could care less about Barney.

Wish us luck!
