The Final Day

The final morning....JuJu and Kaebrie were having their last tea party and I just had to take another picture. The overall consensus was that Kaebrie looked like Kay, and she showed us some of her baby pictures and I could really see it!

We left for the airport at noon, getting there at 12:30 for a 1:44 pm flight. This picture with my sister Jacquie (aka Auntie Jax) was taken seconds before the overhead speakers announced that our flight to Atlanta was CANCELLED!!!!!

I was SO not happy with Delta. Then I had to stand in line for 45 minutes while they UNchecked us in and RETURNED our luggage. I do admit to having a minor meltdown. It was already pretty emotional getting ready to say good-bye to everyone (the WHOLE family was at the airport) , I was already exhausted and could feel a MAJOR headache coming on. There was just no way I was going to take a bus voucher and get me and 4 kids and our carry ons and our luggage and the stroller by myself to Atlanta with no car seats and no potties. Absolutely NO WAY.

Sam's parent were the only ones with a vehicle with enough seat belts to fit us all, so JuJu became our hero and drove us to Atlanta! (About a 3 hour drive).

In the rain.

The luggage stayed pretty dry....not that I cared much by this point.
We did make it to the airport on time. And not on my WORST enemy would I wish going through security alone with 4 kids and a double stroller and the carry ons. IT WAS TERRIBLE!!! Beyond terrible.

Then our plane was late. Then we finally got on and the kids forgot every manner and every ounce of obedience they had ever been taught. I was never so glad to get off a plane!!!

So, now we are home. And after being here for almost 2 years, it really did feel like coming home.

We had a wonderful, happy, eventful, memory-filled 5 state trip.

Thank you to EVERYONE for making this possible.

We love you all so much and miss you already.

Planes fly in this direction too, so please come out and visit anytime!!!!!
