And we're off...

Yesterday, we packed the car and headed out. Well, we tried to leave. It was a three ring circus trying to get everyone into the car with everything we needed,  including the keys.  We made it to the hotel near the airport with plenty of time to relax.  Thanks to Laura and Eva for getting us there safely! As we were getting our belongings,  a thought occurred, "Wait,  let's make sure the hotel is clean, and that we are actually checked in before you leave us." As we checked in and inspected the suite (Todd and I had our own room!),  the boys kept wondering, "Does this place have a pool?" We opened the curtain,  and there it was!

Eva and Laura said goodbye and left us feeling blessed and very glad to have such good friends.

Pics will be added later...

Today was an amazing day! We started our day in Connecticut at 5am, took an 8am flight to Minneapolis,  and had a three hour layover before flying to Suiox Falls.  Both flights were great with no difficulties!

Greyson was happy to have seconds on complimentary cookies and soda, flying through the clouds was pretty spectacular, and even though it was raining before we departed Minneapolis,  it cleared into a beautiful sunny day again. Once we collected our luggage (which we watched them put on our second flight), we rented a car and drove the 80 mph speed limit to our destination for the night.

We look forward to spending time with the riders tonight!
