We survived!

We made it! 3 flights, 2 connections, and 19 hours in the air, and we survived!  And, all with a 4 and 5 year old in tow.  Maybe it was the arsenal of electronics we carried onboard: 2 I-pads, 1 Kindle, 3 phones, and a portable DVD player.  There was one point where Levi was watching Lego movie on the I pad while playing Angry Birds on the I Phone....I mean talk about every boy's dream!

I won't lie. It was exhausting. About 11 hours into the second flight, I got a little discouraged thinking about the next leg of the journey.  Once in Beijing, we had to get off the plane, clear immigration, claim our luggage, proceed through customs, transfer to the domestic terminal, recheck our bags, clear security, and make it to our gate for flight #3.  All in two hours and at 2am our time.  But, our kids were total troopers and made the long haul with excitement and great attitudes.

Now, it's 6am here in China.  After a few hours of sleep in our hotel, we are all awake watching movies and binging on Wheat Thins and Chips Ahoy.   Aahhhh, the good life!  We meet Zeke tomorrow!
