We picked Brian up from his Foods from Chile adventure at the local airport on Sunday afternoon. Brian’s flight was scheduled to land at 12:15 pm. I decided we would still go to church service and Sunday School that Sunday morning. The church is closer to the airport than the house and I was worried about how long lunch would take with the kids. As predicted the kids were starving after church so a picnic was a great plan. We decided to picnic at the airport instead of the church. The short term parking had a grassy spot next to it so it worked out perfectly!
See the airplane parked in the background? The kids LOVED that airplane just sitting there.
Matthew was excited to picnic with the HUGE lunchbox (a.k.a. cooler! lol) The kids ate their lunch meat, yogurt, grapes, and cookies while talking all about the airplanes. We saw a small airplane while eating and that was big news for the little ones!
Brian’s plane defied odds and was EARLY! 15 minutes early! We saw the plane land but I didn’t think it was his since it was so early but I got a text at touch down from him so we ran in to greet daddy! (YAY for a small airport!)
When we got home, Brian started unpacking goodies and then left this in my clean living room.
I wondered how long he would leave it there but he did clean it up pretty quick. The kids were so happy to through his bag with him. More pictures to come on his purchases and his travels but for now we are happy to have daddy home.
Have you ever picnicked at an airport? How long do you deal with unpacking after travel? Leave me a comment and let me know!
i have not picnicked at an airport before. i have slept at one though. to unpack it does not take me long. i like to do it right when i get home.
