We got back on the plane two days after our first day. I was gonna start editing our New York vlog, then our haunted video.
I watched Kendra post her pictures from New York on Instagram. The first was our Aladdin pictures, which had a caption that was some lyric from a show. Then it was random pictures we had taken of her walking around the city, next the Statue of Liberty pictures.
I looked at the vlog footage from the weekend. Kendra sleeping on Ryland, Garrett carrying Kendra on his back when we were walking to the theatre, Morgan eating some of everyone's food at Hard Rock.
I'm so thankful for the people I've surrounded my family with. They're all so good to us. I looked around at everyone in their seats. Andrew was next to me, editing as well. Garrett and Kendra were watching Harry Potter and kept laughing at something and whispering to each other.
I found clips of things I didn't even remember happening.
"Kendra!" Morgan whined, as Kendra stole a sip of her Starbucks drink, when Kendra had sworn she didn't want anything.
"What." Kendra said back in the same tone.
"I thought you didn't want anything." Kendra rolled her eyes jokingly and dramatically.
"I didn't want anything then." Kendra explained, and Morgan rolled her eyes.
I decided I would send some of them to Kendra, so she could use them in her vlog. I was gonna edit her vlog for her, and teach her how to do it.
"Dang I wanna jump of this." Kendra said, looking out the window of The Empire State Building.
"Kendra!" Garrett quickly scolded her, "Don't say that."
"What did she say?" Ryland asked, walking over.
"She said she wanted to jump off the building."
"Ken!" Ryland lightly hit the back of her head, and she rolled her eyes.
"What." She groaned.
"Don't say you wanna jump off buildings." Garrett and Ryland said at the same time.
"And don't roll your eyes at me." Ryland added, to which she dramatically rolled her eyes again, Andrew and Garrett laughed. Ryland and Kendra stared at each other until they both couldn't help but crack up.
Put some of the clips for Kendra into another folder. I was gonna have her send me the ones she got, then go from there. The next clip was from the boat ride from the Statue of Liberty.
"Shane hold me over it." Kendra said, standing at the end of the boat.
I looked at the camera, confused, "What kind of drugs is this child on?" I asked the camera.
"Kendra no." I said to her.
"How come?" She whined.
"Ken - just." I went over to her and hugged her, placing my hands over her ears. "This child has lost her mind." I spoke to the camera, and she pushed her hands away.
"Hey." Kendra lightly hit my arm. Andrew and I laughed, as she pretended to pout.
"Aw, Kendra, baby." I spoke in a baby voice, and walked over to hug her. She started to protest, and eventually gave in and hugged me back.
"Andrew don't film my low moments." She covered her face, and we all laughed, but Andrew cut the camera anyways.
I laughed at that one, and looked over at Ryland, who was wrapped in Kendra's blanket, because Kendra took Garrett's, and he was asleep.
I shut my computer, and lifted the armrest between Ry and I. I put my laptop into the pocket thing in front of me. I pressed my lips to Ryland's head, and rested my own head on his, and fell asleep mid flight.
