We made it to our destination! I wanted to put a cute picture on here of my three big kids in their bright orange race t-shirts, carrying their backpacks. . . but I didn't take any pictures yesterday. (There was also a time that I nearly took out the camera to snap a shot of Tate and Owen watching out the airplane window.)
What we DID do was make our way from VA to my parent's farm in IL.
We left our house in VA at 10:00 a.m.
Left Roanoke, VA on the first plane (12:30?).
Arrived in Detroit, walked to our next gate, had a snack, briefly lost track of Rhyle, then boarded our next plane. (I paged Rhyle over the intercom and he came running up to me. He had no idea why I was concerned for him. "Mom," he said, "didn't you know I would be watching our plane?")
Left Detroit, MI on the second plane (3 p.m. VA time?).
Arrived in Milwaukee, WI. (4:45 leaving baggage claim)
Had dinner with Marcy and a nice little visit in Round Lake.
Left Round Lake with my dad, bound for the farm. (8 p.m.)
Arrived at my parent's farm around 11 p.m. IL time (12 in VA!).
Fourteen hours of travel. . . Many comments of "you have your hands full", countless stares and smiles and incredulous looks as I maneuvered my orange-shirted brood through the airports. But we are here. It was an adventure and I am so thankful that we will have this time with my family, on the farm, looking for all that God has in store. Surely He brought us here!
