We left town about three hours later than planned but we were calm and happy. Very much worth the three hour delay (= we had problems at the border which were our fault so we had to sort through that and thought we'd get lunch at the same time.
We headed up to the town where we were departing from and played in a mall. There is a british toy store that has a track in the back for you to play with their outside bikes, and other random riding toys. Needless to say we monopolized that for awhile (=
Then we went to the house where we were going to have dinner and sleep a few ours before our 4am departure. We just met this family and had a GREAT time laughing late into the night. Much needed after the stress of packing and long travel ahead.
Kids were GREAT on the plane. It was super helpful to have two rows of three seats to ourselves. Qatar airlines are fabulous. Ryan stared at the TV screen so long I thought there would be permanent damage! Layla slept a lot as usual and the airline people never said a word about her being on the floor.
We are in Minnesota now and trying to get used to the cold. We experienced this slightly just in August when we were in the mountains in Kenya. However, layla did ask me the other day "mom, what is a sweatshirt?" hahaha kid. you have lots to learn.
I have pictures to post but it is 5am and I don't want to dig for the camera. The kids have been waking up at 3am and they haven't stirred yet! Jet lag is getting much better. When they wake up at 3am I've been making them hotchocolate wth marshmallows and then trying to send them back to bed. Speaking of which, here is a little one now (= must go make hot chocolate!
