Heading Home.

I-25 and homeward bound. Aliya is already crashed. Note the cool boufant from her Vet Clinic feild trip the day we left.


Just get the truck Dad.....we are so ready to go.


In LA Saturday morning.....can you say tired?


The famous non-recliners!


One last Victory (hotel) Dance!


I will try to bring this thing back up to speed, got a little behind traveling. Friday we had to be checked out of the Victory by 3:00pm. I had some laundry done by one of the local little shops, they all take in laundry but it's probably all done by one or two local facilities. Anyway, I laid out some clean clothes on the floor to wear for traveling. Bad mistake! During a heavy thunderstorm that afternoon the room leaked and my clean clothes were floating.:-( Luckily I had a set still in the plastic laundry wrapper and they were fine. I took the wet stuff back to Jennifer's and had them re-dry it to pick up by 5:00pm. Judy met us in the lobby of the Victory at 6:00 with a driver to take us to the airport. It was a zoo! But after some time we got through security and customs. We boarded the plane on time but found to our dismay we were screwed! lol It was the same type plane as we flew in on but had a different configuration. We had the middle row 26 on both flights but..... this one had a set of lavatories right behind our seats. Handy right? Not!!!!! These seat backs did not recline. So we got to spend 12 hours in coach with out reclining! My neck still hurts. And then to rub salt into the wound, I could see Tony about 10 rows up, in upgraded seats, Showing me his slippers, his extra room, the ability to recline and stretch etc. etc. etc. You suck Tony!! lol lol. Anyway we made it into LA on time, got our new kids paperwork turned into immigrations and made through customs. We managed, with help, to catch the wrong shuttle to our hotel but the driver was kind enough to deliver us there anyway. Lisa went and got us some burgers and we all crashed about 10:00pm. We only slept a couple hours though and everyone was awake so we left for the airport about 3:30 am. We got there plenty early but got checked in for our flight home. We had upgraded to 1st class for the flight to Denver so that was nice, breakfast and all. After a smooth flight we arrived in Denver where "Uncle Morgan" met us to welcome us back home and pick up the bag we had brought back from China for him. We loaded up the truck and made it home in about an hour. Aliya was asleep when we got here so I left her sleeping in the truck while we brought Kylee in to see her new "forever home". He face was just glowing and she was just ecstatic as she recognized things she had seen in the pictures we sent to China. She just fell all over herself when she saw her very own bedroom! Well we still have a long ways to go for these two girls to get over their sibling rivalry! I'll post more in a couple.
