Leaving Texas was a hard thing to do! Most times if we are saying bye and waving for a while at the security
checkpoint it makes my kids a bit more dramatic. Meeting up with the TSA
with 2 crying children is not fun at all! But this time I figured I would try something different. My grandparents dropped us off at the airport and I found it a lot easier to have my boys say goodbye at the car. A lot less crying! I think it is easier for them to think that grandma and grandad were the ones to leave instead of us leave. By the time we got to the security check point my kids were just excited to get on the plane and go up in the sky! Now if I could just be as excited. I was NOT ready to leave the nice warm weather and my family, even after staying a month. I just couldn't soak up enough hugs from my Grandparents and Meema. My arms just don't reach from Galena. But I must say I made it through the airports with no tears and my kids must have thought that I was kept together because they stayed calm too. We had a nice flight back to Alaska, met Keith in Anchorage. Even though I was not quite ready to get back I was definitely glad to see him. He spent the month in Cold Bay Alaska. Here are some of his pictures from his trip. He said the weather there changed faster then anything he ever saw! From rain, snow and sun all within a few hours of each other.
