A few months ago we received a phone call from Adam's sister Meagan, telling us she was engaged and the wedding would be the end of September! We were recently in Texas in April for spring break, so we were not sure if we would be able to take the whole family back again. We also knew that driving was not an option because the girls were now in school and it would not be realistic to spend four days in the car driving. One day I decided to jump online to see what airline tickets would run, and about died at the cost! I remembered that our little Provo airport was gaining a lot of popularity and now had one flight in and one flight out everyday through Frontier Airlines. I checked prices and to my surprise they were extremely cheaper than SLC! After Adam and I talked about things, we decided with how cheap the tickets were, we would be able to take the whole family! The girls were ecstatic! Makell was two the last time she flew and doesn't remember a whole lot. I loved the idea of only having to travel fifteen minutes to catch our flight! I tend to get pretty stressed out trying to make sure everyone has packed everything they will need, out the door on time, and to the airport without any incident! I told Adam that from now on if possible, we will fly out of Provo! :) Talk about no stress! When we arrived at the airport there were only two other people there bedsides Security personnel and Frontier employees. When it was time to board the plane we walked outside and up the ramp onto the plane. The flight attendants told us that the flights are always full. The are trying to get more flights in and out everyday and also trying to bring in more airlines. They said they have had nothing but positive feed back from travelers! It was crazy to see cattle grazing out one window and hay bales out the other as we were on the runway taking off. The initial takeoff was an experience! The plane had to make a hard right almost immediately and all you could see was nice "green" Utah Lake water out one window and blue skies out the other. They made several tight turns so they could gain the altitude needed to make it over the mountain passes. Several of us were feeling quite queezy with only a few minutes into the flight! After our connecting flight to DFW, I'll take sharp hard turns any day over stinky toddler poop we encountered on our other flight! That's another story! I highly recommend Provo, UT airport!

I didn't realize you could fly far out of Provo airport. How fun for your family to experience flying all together! I think that is awesome you took them to the temple groundbreaking. We didn't make it and it sounds like it was amazing!
