We made it!

My dad took Gabriela and I to the airport on Wednesday. On the way there he said "Morgan this kinda sad because this might be the last time you and Gabriela live with me." The last two years we have been living with my Dad when we come back. We bought Lindsay's house and moved all of our stuff the week before we left! Who would think when you are thirty one you would be sad not to live with your Dad anymore!! I know he has loved having us stay with him in the summers. He and Gabriela are very close and everyday she always ask "where is Grandpa?" She will answer herself by saying "is he on the Tumblebus," or "is he playing softball." I can honestly say I feel like I have the best Dad in the world and Gabriela has the best Grandpa!! She is going to miss all the icecream Grandpa would give her and justify it to me by putting bananas on it!!

Gabriela did great on the flight. She had a small meltdown in Oklahoma City. One of the airplanes took off, and she started screaming crying! I think she thought it was the airplane she was supposse to get on to see her Daddy! I quickly assured her we had a different airplane to get on. We traveled from Oklahoma City, Houston, Buenas Aires Int, Buenas Aires airport, and arrived in Santiago Del Estero! Each airport Gabriela would say "I want to get on another airplane." All week I told her we were going to get on an airplane to see Daddy in Argentina!!

We arrives in Buenas Aires at 9:00 a.m. and drove about an hour to the other airport. When we got there we found out we would have an 6 hour layover which turned into 8 hours because the flights were delayed! I was so upset and almost started to cry! Then I realized Gabriela was fine and I should be happy too! She ran around the airport playing, we ate, and she took a nap. The last flight was aweful due to turbulance, and when we were landing Gabriela started crying. I think she was just done with traveling! However, as soon as she saw her Daddy her eyes lit up and everything was fine!
