Not So Early To Bed, Early To Rise...

So segment one of our journey began with a 2:00 am wake up call and a very quiet 3 hour drive to the Detroit Airport. It was nice to arrive early though, and beat the rush. Check in went well as the everyone but me (Rob) was waved through the old metal detector and I had to wait to feed every tub through the x-ray machine. I ended up waiting in the long line to get waved through one of those new scanners. The flight was smooth the whole way and the kids behaved excellent. As we were coming in over the ocean for our approach, Natalie got a good laugh from most of the plane as she procalimed good and loud, "Hey, we're gonna land in the water!" We arrived about 1:oopm back at Amy's parents house, and spent most of the afternoon taking naps and catching up on sleep a little. Tomorrow brings another early morning but we are excited, knowing our final destination is just a few hours away. We just thank the Lord for the safety he has granted us so far. Technology never ceases to amaze me. I was reading over Leah's shoulder on the plane, one of the Little House on the Prarie books, and I began to think of the miles involved in this trip, and to think that in just about 13-14 hours of traveling time you can be so far from home. How incredible to think how the Lord allows man to progress in the world and yet so many just choose to ignore the fact that it all comes from Him.
