This nervous Momma sent her two oldest girls on their first solo flight to Grandma and Grandpa's house in Florida for a week. It's a nonstop flight and there are a lot of rules and regulations to send unaccompanied minors. Lorelai and Evelyn have been counting the days and I think I've been stressed about them behaving well and looking out for each other etc. I think my stress may have translated over to Lorelai because as soon as the plane pulled up she started getting very nervous. I think she felt the weight of the responsibility of being the big sister in this situation. Evelyn was so sweet trying to make her calmer by saying, "Lorelai, it's ok! All the grown ups are so nice! And you can use my activity books on the plane!" We got quite a bit of attention at the gate and two separate moms with their families offered to sit near them in case they needed anything. Everything worked out well though. I had to stay at the gate until the plane was in the air and by the time I got Joseph and Scarlet home, my mom was texting me to say that they had already landed and they were on their way to baggage claim!

| Plane is pulling up and the nerves are setting in... |

| About to board! |

| And there they go! Have fun in Florida! |
