Indy Pic Dump 1

 We flew Frontier this time around and evidently each plane has it's own 'mascot'.  The first leg of our journey we had Domino the fawn on our tail and wing tips.
The reason I could get this pic, we got awesome seats just behind the wing, my favorite spot.  From here I get great views of the ground and I get to watch all the ailerons wiggle and such during take off and landing.  Wow, how nerdy is that, I knew what they were called (though I did look it up to make sure I had the right word).

 This mountain range was so pretty!  The photo doesn't really capture how majestic it was, even from above.

 So weird, so cool.  I reminds me of the brownies my sis and I make, all crackly on the top.

Deutschland Bear and the animal crackers I ordered.  I found it highly amusing that it stresses that they are a "Good Source of Calcium".  Who cares!  They taste good; it is fun to bite their heads off; and I like making the lions roar at nearby family and friends.

I suppose I ought to introduce Deutschland Bear.  :)  Deanna and I got him at the tail end of our last Bethal trip at a Cracker Barrel and he has been my travel companion ever since.  He has eaten a whole bran muffin on a flight, colored in my coloring book, played on a computer, been bird watching and visited Canada.

Some of our neighboring planes when we landed in Denver.

That's a lorakeet in the back.

TORNADO SHELTER?!  In the bathrooms funnily enough.  I wanted to snap a pic of the sign in the doorway but there was such a steady flow of people (there was no way to avoid some sort of unfortunate pun, I'm sorry) that there was never a good moment.

Our 'mascots' on the flight from Denver to Indianapolis were Lola and Max the cougars.  An owl and a sea lion graced the neighboring planes.  Fun fact learned today; just as cougars are called mountain lions or pumas depending on the location, sea lions are the West Coast name for the East Coast seals.
You see those dark clouds in the background?  They were thunderclouds!  There was a bunch of lightening as we were sitting in the plane before take off, which the flight attendant got snippy about when I mentioned it.  When we finally took off the pilot had to fly around the edge of the storm and climb much higher than the previous leg.

Deutschland Bear coloring my new coloring book with my new colored pencils.  Boy does ... er ... his hand hurt.

Look who I found in a claw bin in a Meijers!  Annoying Orange!  What are you doing there?!
