Early Tuesday November 3rd, I was getting ready to take luggage out to the van, all 5 pieces of luggage, including a battery charger for the wheelchair, Hannahs dresses and things I had gotten the kids. I went into the bedroom to make sure I had gotten everything and came back to see this:
A very annoyed Ace NOT liking the luggage being out. He had to investigate:
I tried to get him to look at me but got these instead:
I gave up on that and took things out to the van. All too quickly Ace was with the boarder and we were on our way to pick up the rest of the family. They came out with NINE yes 9 pieces of luggage including carryons. Thank goodness we were flying SouthWest.
That is not all the luggage that ended up around Bill. Then we had to pile people into the van:
The kids were excitedly talking about the cabin and playing pool, seeing mountains, and maybe getting in the hot tub. Abbey and I looked at each other and smiled. We all buckled up and were on our way.
Hannah hammed it up in the back, while Christian played a video game:
After two potty stops we were in Nashville. We got our room key to a double queen suite and hopped in the elevator. The first of many I want to push the button conversations took place. Later in the trip I solved that issue by saying I was the elevator button pusher!!
We dropped off some luggage, as you can tell Abbey was suffering from Disney-nonsleepbeforethetripitis:
We got her up and got everyones order for Jack in the Box and Josh and I went to pick it up. We ate and told the kids I had something on the computer I wanted them to watch. We explained it had to do with the trip and I would be reading it to them, but they had to be quiet until the end so Hannah would understand what was going on. They both said they were ready to watch.
For those of you that didn't see the slideshow I made or if anyone wants to see it again, here it is:

The video revealed to the kids (like I would give up the surprise already)
