Epic travel day!

Started off on Sunday 5pm when we drove out of Papa Dennis's driveway to head to the Toronto airport.  Thankfully spent just 1 minute going through immigrations even if we lined up for an hour to get through the border.  Got to the airport just in time for our flight and after delays... took off around 11pm.  We were really lucky to get a row of 4 seats so the boys & I were able to sleep well. :)  Papa Dan guarded us the whole time & slept only 1 hour. :(  Poor papa. 

Landed in Manila at 5.47am and then had no problems getting the 3 boxes!!!  So exciting :)  Mama & Papa both came in separate cars to pick us up... only for us all to be stranded in the airport parking lot for another 8 hours because of the floods.  We attempted 4x to leave the parking but had no luck getting far because we had 1/8 tank left of gas and the floods were crazy.  Finally made it home at 2.30pm.  

Through all the craziness, the boys were in high spirits and were such troopers!  Thomas especially.  He never acted out or cried -he was hyper & kept playing with John & the car.  But was really such a good boy. :)  John instantly had curly hair the moment we stepped out in the rain.  Back to curly tops :)

So nice to be back in our beds & home.  Home sweet home.
