I survived my 1st plane trip alone with two kids

It went pretty well. It helps that the flight to Orange County is only an hour and a half...We hit one speedbump when at the security check point they wanted Cameron to take off his new light up shoes (I had already taken mine off, put the car seat and backpack up on the belt and was holding Gracie while trying to fold the stroller) At first I thought the man was joking, and Cameron did NOT want to cooperate! I explained that they liked his shoes so much that they wanted to get a closer look at them so they could buy a pair! That did it! He took them right off! I will post pictures of our plane ride later...
