First Flight

Milla got to take her very first flight on an airplane last week!! We flew to Indiana (along with my Mom) to celebrate with Grandma Rhodes on her 89th Birthday!!!

It was interesting to learn how getting through security with a baby works! After loading all of the bags up on the conveyer belt to be x-rayed...they have you take the baby out of the stroller and break down the stroller to also put that on the convyer belt. Of course you have to take off your coat and shoes---but I was surprised when they told me to take off Milla's coat and shoes too!! Funny!! I was relieved that they do let you take milk with you (despite the no liquids over 3oz. rule)... they take you over to a special area and do some sort of litmus test on the milk!
When we got to Indiana we went to Dougherty's Apple Orchard.

Pumpkins!
"Grand Mum" holding Milla--who was very impressed by the animals in the petting zoo!
Grandma Rhodes had two little American flags that she wanted Milla to put on the graves of her Granddaddy Rhodes and Grandpa Dunnington. We thought this picture was so sweet with her little shadow on the grave!
We got to have a "Birthday Brunch" for Grandma at the Farm.
Here is Aunt Connie, Grandma, and Mom.
Grandma had a table full of dear friends join her for her Birthday celebration. It was a time of great food and wonderful conversation. These ladies were full of life!!!
Can't believe she is 89!!!! She still swims a couple times a week, writes a column for the local paper, makes candles, is writting a book, and stays very involved in her church and the community!! WOW!!!
Got to see my cousin Brittany!!! SO PROUD of her!!! She is a University of Tennessee Grad. and has always had the dream of being a firefighter!! She is a wife- and a mother of 2 boys...but just recently finished all the testing and training and is now officially a FIRE WOMAN!!! CONGRATS!!
Milla with her GREAT GRANDMA RHODES!!
LOVE this sweet picture of Milla on the porch at the farm with her pig tails!
