No more buses please.............

Well we finally made it home after a very interesting trip. We left around noon and got to the border around 7:30. After I accidentally slammed Cooper into the toilet from the bus going back and forth and him peeing who knows where. Then I got sick after he used the bathroom and then come to find out Avery also gets motion sickness. Poor thing got sick twice on the way there. But as we were trying to get through the border the power went out. So it was very dark and the kids were worn out. A lady then came out to announce that since the power was out we would have to wait for the bus to come back around 10 pm and that we could sleep there. I thought this could be interesting. So alright Lord, we really need your help. We all (well the five white people) immediately starting praying and about 40 minutes later the power came back on and we were able to make it through. We finally arrived to our hotel around midnight. The kids were so worn out but really did great. We could feel all the prayers going out for them.

We were in the city so there wasn't much to do with the kiddos. We did got to a "natural pool" which is natural because they are pumping the river water into the pool. When I saw the worm going by I just couldn't get the word "parasite" out of my head! So it was pretty interesting. We did get to eat at T.G.I.Friday's twice though. It was so nice to have REAL hamburgers that are thicker than a piece of paper! It was so different to actually bite into it and have some kind of juice coming out of it. My mouth is watering now!

So we find out while we are there that the bus tickets that we have to get back doesn't really have a station here. That on Sunday we would have to wait on the side of the road at 5am and hope that it stops for us. So we ended up buying yet another ticket with another bus line. That was not as nice as the first bus. The first one had a bathroom, tv and AC. This one had none of those. It also only stopped twice, but thankfully we didn't even have to use the empty bottle for Cooper that we had ready, just in case. Well Avery was doing so good on her motion sickness until the last 20 minutes of the ride and she just couldn't hold it in any longer. Darin tried so hard of getting it all cleaned up. He wiped it and then poured baby powder all over the floor where it hit.

We are back home and glad to be back at school. Well everyone but Cooper. He cried not wanting to go back, that he wanted to go to class with Mommy. Being with us for five days 24/7 was pretty hard on Avery and Cooper. That didn't want that part to end. 

But thank you all for your prayers. We really do appreciate them all so much!
