Trying to Get Home

We had an afternoon flight out of Seattle so we had time to eat breakfast with Gramma and then stop by the family's for a real quick, open-air, sorry we didn't get to visit apology and a few tears. The Man's brother looked good I though, considering he was on a heart and lung machine just a few weeks ago. The kids have gotten so big and it made M.E. super sad that my boys didn't get to play with them and get to know them better.
Then off to Seattle, with one last fish & chips with Pal's Dad, then off we go to TX. We weren't scheduled for much of a lay over, so we hustled to the next gate and the Man grabbed us a bite to eat. Once we ate and played two rounds of GO FISH we were boarding the plane. Where we sat at the gate for over an hour while the captain consulted maintenance. Finally he says, he's not flying this plane, so we all have to get off. We wait at the gate for them to tell us what to do. Totally lack of control here, drives M.E. nuts. Then LG crouches down, tell tale sign he's got go to the bathroom..... we didn't make it and not only that but it was super messy. He will have to go the duration of this vacation in a t-shirt, little swimmer and sandals. That's right no pants.
They finally tell us to go to another gate to get on another airplane. We are all super cranky at this point and each of us has a near melt down on the way there. Once there, they inform us that the plane was scheduled to be cleaned in the morning, so it'll have to be cleaned before we can board. Another half hour... finally we board and are on our way and arrive safely home 3 hours later than are original arrival time. But it was nice to sleep in my own bed. Sorry no pics!
