So... on Carrie and Stancie's journey home from Arkansas, they flew Stand-by from LIT to ATL, with no problem. Hoping to then get on a flight to SNA, but all the flights were oversold. They tried to get anywhere west DEN, LAS, LAX, SLC, PHX, SFO, SAN, ONT..... all oversold.... and only going to get worse as the day went on.
The only option they came up with was to find a bar... and fast. Simon had been assisting them over the phone with looking up flight options, and luckily stepped in with another plan! Miraculously, he came up with the best idea yet.
AN OPEN FLIGHT TO PHILLY!
We got on the flight and quickly invited ourselves for dinner with the Greywoodes! We ended up staying 2 nights and got to babysit Audrey while her parents went to work.
It was fun "stopping by" to see the Greywoodes, like they live in the town over. It was such a great ending to a fun weekend!
Audrey got some great practice dancing! She can actually move her hips like she knows she should be dancing! If she does become a dancer, Stancie and I take credit for that!
Audrey had fun with her "Yet to be named Grandma" and Auntie Carrie, but there's nothing that compares to when Mom comes home!
Audrey likes to taste things and chew on them. She is teething so everything she grabs, goes in her mouth. She also likes to start talking while these things are in her mouth.
She got to have her rice cereal while we were there! As simple as that is, it was such a fun and important thing to watch!
We know the rumors that are going around about how Stancie and I came to fly to Philly.
One of the rumors is that we planned it the whole time.
Yes, we did joke, before and during our flying that if we couldn't get to Arkansas, or get home that we would fly to Philly. So we admit that does look bad. But, to back us up, it was Simon who came up with the brilliant idea, and Tom was actually the last person to know. I believe Simon, Lita/Thon, Taylor, Leslie, some of Stancie's friends and obviously the Greywoodes all knew we were in Philly before he knew. He had left his phone at home, so he did not get the news until he called from his office to find out where we were. "Where" meaning ATL or SNA. It was pretty fun to say that we were in Philly!
So, this is the truth. Don't believe the rumors.

That seems totally reasonable... go further east to get back West... who doesn't do that anyway?
We all know that you bit yourself that one time in the car and we all know that you guys planned to go to Philadelphia all along.
