Day 12 Traveling home
June 22, 2021 in the United States ⋅ ☀️ 68 °F
•Long hard day of travel
•Since we got to the airport ridiculously early, we had plenty of time to kill
•There was an US embassy warning about protests through out the country. We noticed a visible presence of police in and around the airport - glad we were there early.
•After killing an hour with Glenn at the food court, we said our goodbyes and went through security.
•Surprisingly, the airplane playground was opened
•I purchased hamburgers and French fries and we ate near the airplane. The kids loved it.
•The 2pm flight was furthered delayed and I believe that we took off to DFW around 2:45
•We had 3 seats to ourselves. Elizabeth again shouted for joy
•We had a tight connection in Dallas.
•So glad I gate checked our bags all the way from GUA to Peoria!
•We ran through customs, from Terminal D to Terminal B
•Elizabeth slept the last hour on my lap. She was one tired cookie. Even crying as we walked through the terminal
•The entire Rosenberger family including Shadow picked us up at the Peoria airport
•We arrived in Fisher, Illinois at 12:30. I’m tired.
•I’m one happy Grammie to have both David and Elizabeth to spend time with us. Although David was sick most of the time we built in great one-on-one time together. Elizabeth got a Barbie doll, built a doll house with Grand Dad and David got some hot wheels and built a ramp. This is one time I will never forget!Read more

•Took the kids to VBS, then to Walmart to get a few items and also to get my glasses repaired
•Ellen and Luke took the kids to an amusement park and I kept Annie

•Put Annie down for a nap at 2:15 and she didn’t wake up til 6:15
•Drove to the mall with Annie. Bath and Body Works!
•Asian salad and then hot fudge sundae at Culver’s
•Annie was an angel. I think she liked being the only one.
•The night before, we all went to David’s ball game. He won 10-6
•David got on base 3 times and scored once I believe
•quote from one of his coaches, encouraging David to hustle back onto the field “David it’s going to be the 2nd inning by the time you get out on the field!”Read more
