Packing...packing....stuffing it all inside in every corner available!! Amazing how much can be accumulated when you are away from home for 3 1/2 weeks.
We are back tracking one day just to let you know what we did BEFORE we left our home away from home.
Mami and Papi were up at (4 am ) hustling 4 ninos/nina to get ready before the crack of dawn! Not one of them were too impressed by this idea although they had loved counting down the days to departure before....amazing how things change.
You will just have to visualize this......
6 suitcases, 2 duffles, 6 backpacks, 1 stroller and 4 tired children
Arriving at the airport.... going through the line....Yes, we have tickets....no they cannot find 3 of them. Yes, we are going to Atlanta! Just try and stop us now!! Okay, maybe you do have 3 more ....somewhere. More waiting.....waiting ..... waiting. Well look right here, yes...it looks like you have 3 more. Great! Another line and many more people....lots of confusion. Waiting for our boarding passes. Lost in translation. What!! The time has changed and we have to be up there when!! Oh my gosh we have less than 25 minutes to be at the gate! Hurry up and wait ...we are pros at this tactic. Finally we have all 6 passes and a personal escort. Time limits to take off....hurry up! Security checkpoints......Whew!...we are at our destination.... but wait we cannot enter until ....what! one more hour!!! Okay we will wait some more. Relax everyone.
Good-bye Bogota ~
Miguel, David, Sergio waved good-bye to the land that they love and were eager to watch out the windows at the scenery from up above. It is bittersweet to watch their amazement at the sights far and wide.
We arrived in Atlanta, Georgia with all our luggage and hungry kids. Everyone, except Mami dozed on the flight to Omaha. Sergio was so tired he could hardly stand upright!!
Thanks to all our family and friends who met us at the airport last night!!! We really appreciated the grand WELCOME HOME!!!!
We pulled in our drive shortly past midnight with WIDE AWAKE boys and a girl. There was
much to explore, see and do before bedtime.

WELCOME HOME!!!!! The first part of your journey is done, and now the "fun" part begins as everyone adjusts. What a relief it must be though just to be home safe and sound. At least the weather is decent today so the boys don't go into shock too much. :)
ReplyDeleteWe all can't wait to meet everyone. We'll see you soon!
Love you lots!
Jenn, Trenton, Trevor, Charley, Gracy, Jaxson, Sam, Brooke, Braden...and anyone else I might have forgotten. :)
