I am SO happy to report that we made it safely to Texas! Chloe and I had a scary incident on the flight and I thought it was OVER for us. About 35 minutes into our flight, air traffic control asked out pilots to go up to 34,000 feet, not realizing that there was another aircraft at 34,000 feet only a few miles ahead. The breakfast and beverage service was at our aisle when all this occurred. I had just been handed my coffee and Chloe's apple juice when our 787 made an abrupt nose dive and roll to the left as it got into the jet wash/wake of the aircraft ahead. One woman was injured and the entire beverage cart hit the roof of the plane and spilled its entire contents on the left side passengers (which was the side we were on).
I was so scared! Chloe was just upset her Chex cereal was now pasted to the left wall of the plane along with her juice. I was happy to be alive, shaken and sitting in my coffee. The remaining three hours of the flight was luckily uneventful but when we landed everyone was still shaken.
Today we went to PaPaw's farm. After arriving we were "stalked" by PaPaw's cows as they followed us around the farm only a few feet ahead. Chloe was a little nervous about our bovine friends and she took some warming up to the chickens. It didn't take too long for her to warm up to the chickens and enter the coop and pluck out some eggs.
After surveying the property, picking some wildflowers for BeBe, pulling carrots and radishes and harvesting strawberries we settled into an afternoon of fishing. Chloe and PaPaw didn't have the fishing pole in the water for 10 seconds when they had a bite. Chloe's first fish was a half-pound catfish that Chloe decided to set free (with PaPaw's help of course).
Chloe took to fishing like a fish in water (pun intended) and it wasn't long before she was demanding we drive into town to purchase her her own fishing pole. At lunch time we drove into town and went to Wally World for a fishing pole, kiddie sunglasses, kiddie chair and some nightcrawlers. Chloe was all set.
Chloe loves her new fishing pole and she must have caught 10 fish, if not more, in total---it helps when your PaPaw stocks his fishing pond. Chloe enjoyed holding the nightcrawlers and having them wriggle in her hand. Her favorite activity after she tired of fishing and catching so many fish was feeding nightcrawlers to the chickens. She thought this was hilarious.
We plan to return to PaPaw's farm for some more fishing later in the week. Maybe this time will catch the BIG catfish---and it won't be catch and release.
Gathering eggs.
Chloe and PaPaw pull some radishes.
Chloe's first catch!
