A Little Chicken?

This weekend, we took a little trip to see the military branch of our family. 

Our oldest granddaughter is in a middle school production of Alice in Wonderland, and we couldn't wait to see the play and the whole family! 

Because I am Gramma, I brought some yarny friends, one of whom was less than enthusiastic about flying! 

While the chicken was feeling pretty [c]lucky for the opportunity to fly with zero effort, Ms Rabbit was afraid to open her eyes, even during boarding. One might say I was flying with TWO chickens!

Ms Chicken was anything but chicken. She spent most of our flights looking out the windows.

Of course, they both wanted to watch Pop Pop's movie, but Ms Rabbit was still a bit fearful. She sat in Pop Pop's lap to help her feel safe!

As our second flight was approaching our final destination, the crew tod us that we'd be passing through some bumpy weather...

They were not wrong, but we landed just fine,

...and once our stomachs settled, the girls dug into a cheeseburger while we waited to be picked up from the airport. 

Back at the family's home, we noted that the dog is no longer afraid of us! (He's a very cute, very anxious pup, who has been fairly terrified of us since being adopted 2 years ago.) We don't get to see him very often, so this was a bit of a milestone!  

We filled our short visit with roller blades, 

trips to the craft store, 

lunch at school,

balls and bats and bubbles,

and (of course) Alice (and her sister, Matilda)! This girl is definitely not chicken on stage! 

She played the Dodo Bird, too...yay!

There was also the requisite screen-time,

which I will not begrudge them, as I sit blogging on my phone 😉! It's been a great visit, and as you read this, I'll be boarding the plane for home. It's always sweet to return home, but I'll miss the time with them. Thank goodness for those screens! 

I hope your week has been good, and thanks for stopping by. I'll surely be knitting in the sky as you read, and I hope your knitting isn't far from your side.

Knit in Good Health!
