Very sadly, our trip had to come to an end. We were all very sad to leave!

Now- we had been so blessed to have been given some buddy passes from our dear friends. {I so owe you guys still! Thank you, thank you, thank you!!!!} It was a LOT cheaper to fly that way. But it was a little tricky too.

We were going to fly home Saturday, but it didn't look so good, neither did Sunday. Oh darn, we had to stay another two days! {wink wink}

Monday night was when we actually drove down to Chicago, but didn't make the flight. Ella had been praying, yes, praying that we would not make the flight so that we could go and stay with Grandma in a hotel. She was not disappointed. We went out to eat at our favorite place, the cheesecake factory, did some shopping and then found an inexpensive hotel near the airport. The kids were in heaven jumping on the beds.

The next morning we tried for another flight, missing it once again. But that we OK, we just walked right over to another flight going to Vegas. There were several other people that had been waiting just like us, trying to get a flight to Phoenix.

We all made the Vegas flight, in fact we got bumped to FIRST CLASS! It was so awesome! It was very early in the morning and so we were served a wonderful breakfast! Both kids fell asleep. The seats were so huge that Jack could even sit in the seat next to me without being the least bit squished. They slept the whole time and I read my book. It was hands down the best flight I've ever had. EVER!

However, of course, there is always a however. The flight from Vegas to Phoenix was terrible!!!! I wont go into the details, but it involved having to change a very stinky diaper, it terrible turbulence with a flight attendant that who was so rude! {I should have caught her name and told on her} I'm so glad that the good flight was the 3 hour one and the bad flight was the 40 minute one and not the other way around!!

But no matter what, it was all worth it! I loved being in Wisconsin. I loved seeing and BEING with my family! I missed them all the second I left!

So a HUGE thank you to- Mom and Dad for having us there, putting us up, spoiling us rotten and just being the best parents and grandparents of all time! We all LOVE being in Wisconsin with you guys! {You never know, we could move there someday!}

Also a thank you to our pilot friend and his lovely wife! {I'm not naming names, because then you will ALL call them and want their help, because they are totally awesome!} We could NOT have gone out there without your help! Really!!! Thank you, thank you!

To EVERYONE- We loved seeing you and being in Wisconsin, but now it's your turn to come and see us! We always have a bed, or two or three available to anyone who wants to come and visit!

{Sarah and Mr. K are getting here in just days and Mary just weeks! They took us up on our offer, you should to!}

WE LOVE YOU WISCONSIN!!!!!!
