Last week in the USA
Our time here has flown by!! However, I will go home knowing that we made the most of every minute here and were able to see and do more than I even thought we would!
 |
| I walked down to my old high school on my last morning here |
 |
| We spent our last day in Idaho at the lake |
 |
| That night we got to help Cami load 3 storage units into a moving truck. They are moving to Houston in 3 days! |
 |
| After loading the truck, Livia drove the boys to get milkshakes. Watching my kids ride in a car with other kids is something I'm so glad I don't have to get used to while we live in Italy!! |
 |
| Saying good bye :( |
 |
| One last meal on the way to the airport |
 |
| Connor got to have Buffalo Wild Wings twice during this trip!! |
 |
| Even though we were stuffed... we couldn't leave without one more DQ treat! |
 |
| We didn't even know we were matching! |
 |
| Off again..... |
 |
| We got into KC at midnight and didn't get into our room until 1am. Aiden was throwing up from 2-4am and then Whitney woke up at 6am and started throwing up. I got 2 hours of sleep and had to travel with all 3 kids - 2 that are throwing up- by myself. It's gonna be a loooooong couple of days! |
 |
| Our prayers were answered and by the time we got on our plane in KC to go to New York all the kids stopped throwing up. Their stomachs were still hurting but no one threw up on the plane. We were all so excited for our 6 hour layover in NYC! |
 |
| Jeremy surprised the kids with an 8-passenger stretch limousine to tour NYC and transport us from one airport to the other. The kids were so surprised and excited even though you could barely tell because they were so tired and still recovering from feeling sick. |
 |
| Whitney immediately got her notebook out and said "I have to write this down!" |
 |
| relaxing on our way to Time Square |
 |
| As exciting as it was the kids only wanted to sleep |
 |
| Interesting people watching from the limo |
 |
| Not pictured was a guy walking down the sidewalk with a permanent middle finger pointed at everyone he passed |
 |
| All the kids wanted New York pizza |
 |
| Getting back in the limo. Our driver looked and talked just like Rocky Balboa! |
 |
| Just eating hot New York pizza in the back of a limo cruising around downtown NYC. So awesome!!! |
 |
| Some guy walked by our limo and stuck his gum on our window!!! |
 |
| On our way to the airport, playing some Mancala |
 |
| I almost felt bad that Jeremy was missing the limo ride until he sent me this picture! He got to go out on the Potomac River in this boat |
 |
| Our 8th flight in 3 weeks! Next stop: Venice |
 |
| Waiting at the airport for our shuttle to pick us up. Kids don't even care anymore... they could sleep anywhere! |
 |
| My suitcase was safely waiting for me! |
Reunited with Jeremy/Kayla
Jeremy got home a couple of days after us and Kayla got home the next day. She got to stay out in the country on a beautiful Italian vineyard with her best friend, Toby. I'm guessing if she had a choice she would not have come back at all! Lucky for us she didn't have a choice because we all missed her so much!!
Football Camp
With jet lag and all Connor got on a bus at 2am to go to football camp in Germany. Next week is going to be a rough week for him but I hope he has fun!!
 |
| Be safe!!! |
