We flew from Buffalo to Detroit and I thought it would be so cute to get a picture of Oliver and Penelepe riding the escalator.... It was Penelepe's first time and she put one foot on the escalator and one foot stayed on solid ground. She ended up doing the splits with her hands trying to pull herself up on the glass wall. I was doubled over in laughter and Ryan was yelling at me to grab her - it all happened so fast but was hilarious. Well if you think I am mean for laughing at my daughter, she got me back on our way home from St. George. We took a red eye from Vegas and Ryan and I had NO SLEEP, we were tired and hungry. When we got into Detroit at 7:00am we decided to grab something to eat. Ryan stayed with Violette and our backpacks and Oliver, Penelepe, and I ran to grab some food. On our way back to our gate I got on the downward stairs escalator and turned around and Penelepe was still on the floor and would not get on the escalator. So there I was jogging in place with my 3 orange juices and 3 egg McMuffins trying (remember I am Exhausted!) to get back up to Penelepe. There were so many people I was afraid by the time I got to the bottom and got back up to her I would lose her. I finally made it after who knows how long, with who knows how many people laughing! It was a good workout and we were able to provide good wholesome entertainment for hundreds of people before their morning flight. (ok maybe not hundreds but close)
Violette and her cousin Sasha at their first meeting. Violette is only 5 days older, hopefully in a couple years we can live closer so they can become BCFs, Best Cousins Forever.
Enjoying a great hot dog roast at Grandma DeEtte's and Grandpa Mike's!

I think that is such a funny story! I can just see you trying to run up the down escalator! :) We were so glad to see you guys and can't wait until you move back here!
It was good to be able to see you guys while you were here! Great story-it's a good thing it was you and not me--I would have landed on my nose and rode the escaltor down that way!
Oh my gosh that has happened to me too with my kid on the escalator! Except I didn't make it back up, then they finally got on as I was riding the opposite way. No one was laughing - people were judgmental and frowning at me. That answers my question about whether or not we should ever tak the red eye. You poor thing!
