Nate and Rachel on their way to Salt Lake City

Mom and Mike took Nate and Rachel to the airport. The weather across the country was terrible and all of the flights were either delayed or cancelled. So, we just hung out for a few hours. We ate at McDonalds and then did some people watching. We were playing this game of picking out people we saw and matching them with famous people we thought they looked like. We were laughing so hard. Some of the people we saw: Kenny Chesney; Macie Gray; Oprah Winfrey; Olive Oyl; Johnny Depp; Eminem (wanna be); and others less known, but just as funny, like the mean fat kid on Pee Wee's Big Adventure; Ice Skater Dude; and even some family members which will remain unnamed.

Trying to get these kids to be serious for a picture was like trying to make them behave in church.

As a follow-up, Rachel and Nate's flight left an hour late. We were guaranteed that all the connections would be fine. When I received a phone call from Nate that they had landed at 9:30 in Denver and that they had only 10 minutes to get to their gate for their connecting flight, I was a little worried. It was really fun when they called again and said Frontier Airlines wasn't letting the 13 people (including them) to board the plane. After about 15 frantic minutes, the airline decided it was better to put them on the plane than to put them up for the night. So, Nate and Rachel made it to Salt Lake around midnight.

For those of you who remember last Christmas, Nate, Rachel and Mike spent the night in Dallas airport after missing their connection. We thought this was going to be a repeat. Oh the adventures my kids have!
