So far so good

So no one is missing, we have eaten alot of food and have lost no weight yet. So the point is we are having a blast on this travel day. Princess Corrinne needed 2 and a half seats during the flight to Belgium.

Uma (AA Ticketing Agent) was awesome and cleared up the reservation mess that Orbitz created.




While we had a layover in Chicago we played with the "dollar on a string" gag that Rob Sims gave the kids. Christian and Ashton would lay a dollar, attached to a fishing reel, out in the middle of traffic...



and then reel it in when some unsuspecting bystander reached down to pick their lucky find.


This fun lasted 2 1/2 hours and rounded up quite a crowd. Paul was video taping the fun until an undercover cop told him he had to stop.

We made a bunch of friends - George was a private charter pilot who asked us about our mission trip; he is a fellow missionary - and made a $0.25 tip when Doug and Christian opened up the guitar case and started singing. Actually, the guy paid them to stop!!

We also got super-sized eating Mcdonalds french fries.........and while we all ate healthy salads Doug insisted on getting 2 cheese burgers.
