Summer 2011 part 1

Well it's 3:30 am Belgian time, and I am sitting in the living room with Kay, watching Elmo...Because while Mat and Breanna are fast asleep, Kay had other plans for me. Her top tooth is FINALLY breaking through so she has been acting up a little bit, and she was hungry but did not want anything to do with her bottle...and now she's not tired even a little bit. I could take the opportunity to clean or put away suitcases but this seemed like more fun : )
Summer so far has been quite the adventure, I'll try to put everything in here that we did and hopefully it makes sense!
We started off in Spangdhalem, Germany. Its about 3 hours from our house and 1 hour from Ramstein, Germany where we go to catch the space-A flights back to the states. We stayed overnight at the hotel on base in Spangdhalem, it was a pretty relaxing night. We went to a resturant in town and got some delicious german food. Kay and I shared a plate of deer goulash, it was AMAZING!!! We took her to the park by the hotel and then put her to bed while we enjoyed some tasty german wine. Here are some pics of Kay at the park in Germany!
Alrighty after that we woke up pretty early and headed to Ramstein to hopefully get on space-a to BWI. Theres always a chance that there wont be enough space for everyone to get on the plane, but luckily they had a ton of open seats on the commercial airline, so we didnt have to ride on the cargo plane this time! yay! Kay took a little nap in the USO while we were waiting...
We got on with no problem and Kay did pretty well, she didnt sleep quite as much as she did the first time we flew back to the states but she could have been a lot worse!
This is Kay before the flight started...
and waiting for the plane to take off
and this is her grump face after we landed 8 hours later!
Mats dad picked us up from BWI and we spent a few days at his house, Kay adjusted to the time change well and we had a good time hanging out with mat's dad. We were glad to be back in the states!!!
Here's a pic of Kay snuggling with her papa rusty (mat's dad)
After a few days in PA we caught our flight to Colorado, Kay did pretty well on this flight too. shes getting to be a good little traveler!
I'll post more tomorrow, I'm going to make another attempt at sleeping with Kay. Love you all!
