Our Trip to Boston

We survived our first airplane trip with Haley in over a year! She actually did AWESOME. Matt and I were very impressed with our little girl. We were delayed in Houston about an hour and a half sitting on the plane due to weather but Haley didn't seem to mind. Just sat on Matt's lap and colored or played with her dolls. The only traumatic experience on the way there was when she saw the luggage taken away and her baby had to be screened. That brought a few tears but those didn't last long.
We enjoyed our time with the family. We went up there to celebrate Matt's cousin Chris's wedding reception. They got married in February but had a reception in August. The reception was at the bride's house with horses, a bouncy house, pool and dogs, what else could Haley ask for? She loved checking out the horses and even managed a swim in the pool, though the water was much colder then it is here. We also had the opportunity to take a drive to Newport, Rhode Island. It was overcast that day but we still had fun. It's so strange growing up in Texas where the next state is 100s of miles away. In MA we drove 30 minutes and we were in Rhode Island.
The last night in Boston we stayed in the city since we had a very early flight out. We did a duck tour which is a historic tour of Boston that goes in the water too! It was a blast and I loved learning all the history.
Finally, our last morning there was interesting to say the least! At the rental car return a lady was hit by a car!! Luckily we didn't see the hit but we did see her on the ground and all the commotion. Haley was a little scared since everyone was panicked but we managed to keep her occupied and get on another bus and head back to Houston. The woman was ok, probably just broke her leg. Needless to say, we've learned a valuable lesson on how accidents can happen so quickly. Luckily everything turned out ok.
On baby#2 front, I had to see the Dr. to get cleared to fly before we left. She said everything looked good so far but doesn't think I'll make the full 40 weeks! In fact she said she would be surprised if I made 37 weeks this time. The baby is hanging out pretty low. Guess we'll be meeting baby #2 around early Nov instead of Thanksgiving? Time will tell :)

Here's some highlights from our trip
