Both were excellent travelers. I was concerned for Leon's welfare and that of the nearby passengers. But all was well. Kent asked to get out of his seat once and that was remedied by saying "the captain says fasten our seatbelts. So that means we need to stay in our seats."
"ohhhh" says Kent. From there on that was the standard answer for basically anything. (Wade jokingly milked that one everyso often) "the captain says this or that..." :)
Books, toys, laptop with Wally and food! Thats how we survived! Oh and a couple naps to speak of. Can't forget that!
Kent was stunned at the realization that we were high in the sky above the clouds. It was neat to hear his thoughts as he looked out the window with wade. Soaring high in the sky. Also with the take off and landings we were always seated above the wheels so all the mechanics of the wheels were not only heard but felt. Fascinating to kent. Worrisome to the lady in front of us who had a panicy look whenever the airplane was making a suspicious noise.
Landing in Edmonton! Ah! It was a wonderful feeling to be back! Wade and I were thrilled!
For Kents first time flying the flight attendant gave him a pin with gold wings. We had smooth flights with Kent he couldn't have been more well behaved. So for all those other flyer's who gave us looks of 'super we're travelling next to a baby', he did awesome and won their hearts instead. On the flight home I actually had one woman ask me as she sat next to us "so, how does he do flying?' with a bit of a negative tone in her voice. Thankfully Kent was himself that flight too being the chill, mellow, content-Kent with smiles and laughs and sleeping times too. 
Eager to see mom and Kent got a warm embrace from Grandma! I get SO excited doing the last walk out of customs to push through the doors. Tears come and with a huge smile my feet can't go fast enough. The doors open and there's mom feeling the same way. There is nothing like reuniting. 
Our first stop was to James and Rachael's home. Their first time to meet Kent. I still have Owen's voice in my head "I want to hold baby Kent". The boys instantly began calling him Kenty. I loved seeing THEM. Will and Ry have grown and matured so much! Owen is a wealth of information and Thomas since I've only had the opportunity to be with him only one other time his entire life - definitely blew me away with how much of a little boy is now. I love being in their home, where there is fostered much learning, work and play, order, love and security. The boys took right to taking us around the inside and outside of their home. It was neat to see photo's come to life in the club house out back. The boys with their story and explanations of what they like to do in the club house. Showing us their tool boxes from Grandma on their shelves. A sword fight ensued. Running in circles. Laughter. Laughter. Laughter. We ventured around the back of the club house where Owen was a brave tour guide. When he began to climb beyond the pile of wood boards toward twisted barbed wire fence, we turned back. Uncle James and Aunt Rachael were holding Kent on their rocking bench as we continued to explore the beautifully growing garden. Each boy has their own plot to tend again this year. Their back yard continues to change. This summer quite dramatically with the addition of a deck. James showed us the design he drew up. Big project! It is well underway. Look forward to seeing it come to fruition. While James has a new deck, Rachael is working on a new baby! Definitely look forward to seeing the fruits of her labours! correction- fruit. To say the least, what a busy, wonderful family. After the reunion William and Ryrie will be having a recital! William even requested that there be refreshments and a program. They've been preparing and practicing well. Their teacher is their Grandma Williams (Nana, is that how they say/spell it) via web cam! Remarkable isn't it?
