Leaving Once, Leaving Twice

Our tickets to leave Buffalo to go back to Utah for this trip were actually for early on a Tuesday morning. Although the airport is only about 10 minutes away, we dreaded the early morning wake-up so we switched our flight to early afternoon (thank you, Southwest!). However, when we got to the airport for our 12:45 PM flight, running a little bit late, we realized that we were actually very late because we had read the itinerary wrong and our flight was scheduled to leave at 12:15 PM. So long story short, we missed our flight.

Fortunately, we were able to book a flight for just a couple hours later although we would be arriving in Salt Lake City much later than we wanted to. So right as my mother-in-law was arriving home, we called her to come back and pick us up from the airport so we could kill a couple of hours. We did it by doing this:

I think that this was actually Lucy's first time on a swing by herself and she was loving it. If you're wondering why she is so stylin' in her purple number, it was because her mom thoughtfully packed away all her jackets and hoodies in the suitcase in anticipation of a stuffy plane ride and said suitcase was left at the airport waiting for the next flight. So her grandma graciously let her borrow her fancy wrap.

Brandon thought she needed a companion to swing with but Lucy did not take too kindly to the metal duck that Brandon found for her.

We finally did make it out of Buffalo and during our layover in Las Vegas, an exhausted Lucy ended up like this in my lap:
We got lots of really cute stares from people. And then we realized what the date was - April 13th. Happy Birthday little Lucy. Sorry we forgot about your first birthday all day long!
