The Grand Adventure - Poppy travels to Africa



Well when my kids were little they would always say, "Mommy lets go on a grand adventure!" Even if we were just going to the back yard. So, Poppy is on a grand adventure! For those that don't know, my dad is going to Africa. He came by yesterday before leaving to borrow a suitcase....hum. He was leaving that day. Can we say delayed packer! Anyway, the kids were playing around and got in the suitcase and said take us with you Poppy! Charis was laughing and playing but Grady was not. He would not get out of the suitcase. So dad had to pick him up and he just melted into him.... He's doing better today! Dad called this morning to let me know that his flight into Amsterdam had been late arriving. A lady was having a panic attack and would not let a man look at her so they had to get a women to attend to her. (this is the kind of stuff that would only happen to my dad!!) Then they told her that she had to get off the plane. She refused, so they had to get a women pilot to come tell her to get off the plane. By then they were too low on fuel for the flight, so they had to go refuel... Needless to say they missed their flight to Entebbe. Which, only flies out once a day. So they put him and 10 others up in a hotel. I said, "Go take some pictures!!" He said, "After all of this I am just staying right here at the hotel! " I don't blame him! Anyway he should be arriving in Entebbe tomorrow!!
