1st time for everything

We had the opportunity to go back to Virgina for a few days and visit my family back there.  It was so fun to see Mimi, Papa and Aunt Lana again.  This is Hannah's 2nd time flying, and the 1st time she was only 2 months old.  Now she is 13 months, we knew that it would not be as easy. She did pretty good on the flight out there, but the flight back was rough.  We had weather problems that delayed the flights and mechanical issues that caused us to almost miss our connecting flight and then sitting on an airplane for over an hour before we took off (the flight was 3 1/2 hours so we were on the airplane for almost 5 hours).  It was rough, but we made it!
While we were in Virgina Hannah had 2 first.  She went on her first boat ride and also got to meet and pet a horse for the first time. 

The boat ride.  She was not a fan of the life vest..AT ALL.  She was not a fan of the rushing wind either, but when we came back from our destination she seems to do better.

I know that it doesn't do much good to have the life vest un-zipped, but we did what we had to to avoid a screaming baby at the time.

The horse, we visited a horse farm based on this You Tube video about the Griffin Sport Horses.  It was just a short 30 min away from the Lake House so we went to check out these beautiful Gypsy Horses.


Hannah got to pet this horse and it also took her (and dad & mom) on a ride when he pulled us in a carriage.
