We took some pictures the day that we left the hotel. Wednesday morning it was really overcast and drizzly I don't remember that it was foggy but maybe it was I thought that it looked this way because of the drizzle it was thick. We should have taken pictures before this but by this point we had no choice and the kids had seen this tennis court next to our building and wanted to have their pictures taken on it. We decided that our best option to get home was to connect through Austin from Orlando to Longbeach. We could have gone through New York or D.C. and tried to get home in one day but after we got to New York or D.C. we were afraid that we would be stuck overnight and didn't want to risk being stuck there we decided that it was cheaper to get stuck in Austin or plan on spending the night in Longbeach then being stuck the other way. We made it all the way to Longbeach on Wednesday but then the next flight to salt lake wasnt till this morning so we did spend the night there again. Just outside of Texas after we had left Austin we hit some bad turbulence (spelling) I have never been through anything like that in my life. They had already passed out snacks and drinks and they all went all over the floor. The plane was a mess I looked back in the back galley and there was a ton of stuff on the floor back there as well. The flight attendants were both in the aisle and they ducked down and grabbed on but one did get slammed into something and cut his eye. Other then that it was ok it did happen very quickly though and was very scary I honestly thought that we were going to die. I have never felt that way before but it was scary. The flight crew was very good and handled it well and so were all the passengars. But it was a little unsettling. Jacob was a little scared and a little nervous to get on the plane this morning. Zach was so focused on the cartoons that he was watching that we arent sure that he even noticed what was going on he wasn't affected at all. We were wondering if he even noticed or if he just went to grab another chip or sip of his drink and noticed that someone had already cleared them away for him. There were drinks dripping from the ceiling and everyones snacks and beverages were all over the floor. I wish now that I had taken a picture but at the time we were all shaky and I didn't think of a picture. Zach was sitting on the row in front of me but the woman sitting next to him said that he did great. She was more shaken up then him and he didn't even react. I still really wonder if he even noticed he is a smart kid but when he is focused on something he is oblivious to everything else around him. We did have a lot of fun and are so grateful for the flights and for the trip. We had a lot of fun and we are grateful to daddy for letting us take this trip while he was in Vegas even though he didn't want to miss the trip and wanted to be with us. I do have a couple of more pictures that the kids want to add that I will add over the next couple of days. Thanks for looking and we love you all.
