On the road to Syracuse, Tesia’s dad Lee drove us which was very kind of him, I checked a message that I had  not seen.  It was from Omie’s teacher.  He convienantly forgot his set of paperwork in his cubby.  Little sneaky boy.  We had made arrangements with the school to take the boys school work with us since we were going to be gone for a couple of months.

Well that’s about it for now.  Goodbye Edwards and Family and Friends and all the stuff in between.  I will keep a log of my adventures but internet is not very reliable there so probably I will have to post everything when I get back.  That should be loads of fun!

There were two other people in the elevator so escape was not an option.

She tensed up…no luck…it escaped. But it was silent and she figured the other people would think her brother did it.

I could understand why.

The only problem is this:

Her four year old little brother was standing right behind her. She did not anticipate that he would foil her plan of “Blame it on the little kid routine”

With his best “recess voice” and scrunched up nose, he begins laughing at his sister as he points and says:

“Ewwwwww…..thats a-scusting Sissy, YOU TWEETED!”

On our way to Africa!

Nervous for our next adventure and stressed, as always, when traveling with my guys, I found that our trip was quite smooth, with the exception of having to haul booty to the next gate that was actually in the same terminal.  Who knew it would be a mile to it?  It certainly did not look that far on the map I saw for Heathrow Airport lol.

Anyhow, it was a great trip and we found most of the people on the plane to be friendly and HAPPY!!!  My little Omie met a little girl..he was strapped in with her for part of the trip…his girlfriend.  They got in a fight and broke up lol she messed with the Nintendo DS and apparently broke it according to him, which she did not lol.

I wish the troubles of the world were so simple.

Once we arrived in Sierra Leone, we were greeted by a welcoming group which was nice and escorted to the VIP Lounge, way cool…literally it was COOL, it was so humid when we stepped off the plane.  The chaos was minimal and everyone needed a GIFT of sorts.

Once we were leaving the airport the security guy looking through my bag asked me, “You did not bring me a gift?”  I promptly told him, “No, I did not know it was your birthday!”  They laughed and I left to venture up the next crowd to get our tickets for the Helicopter.  It would take us across the water (I assume the Bay) to Freetown.  Driving would take too long.

So it was up up and away in a giant white helo.  The boys loved it and Omie actually dozed off for the seven minute flight lol.  Loud combined with vibrations is a recipe to knock a kid out!
