It started out like any other day... well, kind of. We got dressed up in our costumes from the Pirate Show and headed to Krispy Kreme. Because, well today is apparently National Talk-Like-A-Pirate Day and Kristpy Kreme is giving away a dozen donuts FREE to anyone who dresses up. Tyler's favorite part was being asked to a sword fight by the clerk at the check out.
When we got back, we packed up our bags and decided to head to the pool for some last minute fun.
Dean and Roger each took turns playing in the water with the kids. Dean even picked up lunch from Pizza Chef so we ate that poolside as well.
After we finished, we headed back up to the condo to prep for our trip. But first we took our "goodbye for now" photos.
Dropping off the van and getting through the airport went really smoothly. The kids got comfortable at our gate as we waited for the delayed plane. Notice the cool bench they were sitting on? It lit up different colors as you put weight on the surface. Very fun!
The plane left 30 minutes later than planned but the ride itself went beautifully.
After we landed the pilot announced that we would need to wait for a gate to open... it took 60 minutes. Sitting on the taxiway, in our seatbelts, no bathrooms, no drinks. We were sad.
But once more, the kids did amazing! The only glitch was when Sammy said (very loudly), "I hate the pilot. He has stolen my life!" There were lots of giggles from the passengers around us.
We had another hold up for our bags and didn't make it to the Jeep until almost 8:00 pm (1.5 hrs after we had planned). But the ride home went well and we pulled in the driveway with two sleeping kids just after 11:00 pm. Its good to be home!
