October Cruise, flying out

On Thursday, October 13th we went to the SLC Airport to go to Miami for another Disney Cruise.  I worked half of the day and the boys went to school in the morning.  Our neighbor Jacob came with us to the airport, then drove our car back home.  Rob also went w/ Dave, Joann and Diane and took Dave's truck back.  We appreciate their help! 

We had less bags this time, mainly due to our decision to checked our bags (so bigger bags), instead of mostly doing smaller carry on bags.  I also used a promotion that allowed us all to checked our bags (up to 8 bags) for FREE, which was awesome.  

Steve, Hudson, Nyles and Carter w/ our luggage ready to go.  Hudson drawing on a white board w/ Aunt Diane.  Carter and Nyles enjoying their view on a seat in the airport.  On our way through the airport.  We put the monkey backpack on Hudson w/ a leash attached, so he can't get too far w/out us whenever he decided to walk instead of ride in the stroller.  He's at that age that sometimes he refuses to ride in the stroller.

Our direct flight to Miami didn't leave until 5:30pm, so we got dinner in the airport while waiting for our flight.  We were able to board first since we brought a wheelchair for Joann (since her knee is still recovering from surgery in July), and Hudson w/ his stroller.  Pauline let us borrow a smaller stroller this time (thanks) and we decided to rent a car-seat w/ our car rental, so we didn't have to bring a car-seat this time.  This also helped us bring less "stuff" this time around.

Nyles w/ my sunglasses on all ready to go on our flight.  We were separated a little more on our way to Miami this time.  I sat next to Nyles, Steve next to Carter, Diane next to Carter, and Dave by Joann.

Sunset as we flew, then evening view.  After getting off our flight we picked up our luggage, then took a shuttle (MIA Mover) over to the car rental facility.  

On the Mover.  Once we got to the car rental place, we had to wait in line as there was only 1 person working at midnight.  Aunt Diane gave the boys some cute stuffed animals to keep them occupied while we waited.  Hudson also pushed his stroller w/ the stuffed animals to give them a ride :)

Cute stuffed animals and a snack.  Thanks Diane!

Once we got in the rental car (a 15 passenger van so we could fit all our luggage), and put Hudson in his car-seat, he felt right asleep.  Once we got to our hotel, Nyles and Carter quickly got into bed and fell asleep as well.  It was a long day, but we made it!
