Micah's First Plane Ride

Well after Garret accepted his new job it was now my responsibility to decide if I dare take a trip to Michigan without him....I decided to try. July 7th I will be boarding a plane with a 2-year-old and a 7 month old. (I think I am crazy) I know people do it all the time but I just have anxiety about being stuck in a two by two foot area with my kids and strangers with no escape for hours. Hopefully people will be understanding. The other day at Seven Peaks I had to take Izzy to the bathroom so Micah was in the stroller. He started wailing but I was busy getting Isabelle situated so I couldn't do anything about it. We then proceeded to wash our hands and he was still crying despite my efforts to calm him without being able to pick him up (I was helping Izzy wash her hands). From far in the back of the bathroom someone yelled at me, "Can't you get that kid to stop crying?"... not knowing what else to say I told her the truth I said, "No, can you?" She didn't respond. I'm guessing she didn't have kids or her kids were perfect and never cried. OH WELL
