Lynn's Notes:

In reality, we boarded the plane without the guns, but I had kept a few toys, snacks, and surprises in my carry-on bag so the kids had plenty of stuff to entertain them en route. Woe to the parents of young children who don't bring something for them to do. I still travel with a small toy in my purse -- ready to give it to the one little kid I know will be bored to tears and sitting in a seat close to me!
