"They're the world my world revolves around, my sacred piece of solid ground. The flesh and bone that gives me streangth to stand. They're the fire in my driving on, the drive behind my coming home. The living, breathing reason that I am."

Blizzards, a Disapointment or TWO, and Lift off!

Some of you may wonder why we got pedicures in January?!  Well, because regardless of how long it took us to get there, we were going somewhere WARM!! 
At 5:00am, we left Makoti to catch a 3:25pm flight in Bismarck--only 2 hours away!  Why leave so early you ask? Well--this was the visibility and the roads were SLICK!!
 
 
We made it to the airport, in one piece--a little less hair, but one piece in PLENTY of time!  And then we waited--and waited--and waited!  Our flight was delayed 2 hours at flight time and then canceled 2 hours later!
 
 
This is the look of 5 sad and TIRED kiddos!  What next?  Drive 3 hours BACK to Bismarck and catch a 5:00am flight the next morning!
 
 
3:00am comes REALLY early--even with hopes of going to Florida!  We were at the airport at 4:00am bright eyed and bushy tailed!!
 These kiddos were GREAT sports!!!  I am sure they were so exhausted, because I know I was!!
 
A little more waiting and we had lift off!!!  Neither one of the kids had flown before, I knew that Aiden would love it, but Adylin was a little stressed!  She cried a little at first, which stressed me out.  I didn't want to be "that mom" with "that kid" on the flight.  She fell asleep about 10 mins in, and all was good! 

 
Next stop??  FLORIDA!!
