Traveling to Seattle

Hey, it’s Laurel! We’re all sitting in the Atlanta Airport waiting for our plane to board. Everything has been going very smoothly and since its my first time on a plane since i was 5 or 6, it’s a very interesting experience. Security was a little scary but we made it through. Emma forgot to take out a water bottle that was full from her bag so the beeper went off and they had to check inside her bag. Everything worked out okay ,and now we are just waiting, waiting, waiting.....

Hey, is’t Sophia!!! So we all got threw the gate safely. We are all waiting to bored they just said we have ten minutes. So ya we on our way!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Hey! It is Rosie!! As Laurel said, we are at the Atlanta Airport!!! I am very excited, but I will miss home!! Bye! Oh I have to say a few more things.We are safely on the plane and we are all excited! Ok so I let Laurel have the window seat and Lizzy is on the other side. Laurel says,” If I fall asleep, let the people know that I want Sprite, cookies, and Pretsels.” Ok so as you can tell, I don’t know how to spell pretsels. :( *sigh* They are playing on the plane this mystery movie. Kinda weird. We are having the spaghetti dinner later. I MISS YOU DAD!!! And hahaha very funny. I went “star gazing” today. DAD!!! Sorry he was teasing me about me fainting. It is 9:10 in Seattle and 12:10 in Atlanta. I AM LOOKING FORWARD TO SEATTLE!!! The sister troop has fresh salmon for us one night!! Dad says it is about 25 pounds!! WOW!! Oh did I mention elk and venison too? :) YUM! :) MOOD~ super pumped :P oh and also excited :D !!!!!!! I will catch you up soon!!! Bye!!! Wish us............. fun and a great time! :)

Hello this is Emma, we are in the air. We had a great take off and everyone is VERY EXITED. We are going to be very jetlaged, but I know we’re going to have a great time anyways. I am SOOOO exited but miss home already. We had to wait a very long time at the airport because there was to many people and not enough seats. Thankfully, we all got on!!! I am kinda tierd but i know we will be exahted way before we land. Well I got to go.... P.S. Dad how are you doing at home??????? I will call you as much as I can!!!!!
I LOVE YOU!!! Emma

As Emma as written before, we are aboard the Delta plane and is on our way to Seattle! It’s so exciting! I still can not get it into my head that we’re going! That we’re actualy going! But here we are! A little turbulence here or there, but over all, the fights been pretty smooth! Of course the take-off wasn’t cool... IT WAS AMAZING!!!!!! My favorite part is and always will be the take-off! I’m starting to blab a little bit, so, my main point is SEATTLE HERE WE COME! Bon Voyage! Selina

Its lizzy :) In the air right now and everything’s pretty normal... Its so exciting though~ :3 I can’t believe we’re actually in the air going to Seattle! All the work up until now is all finally paying off :) Over Kansas right now, ALREADY :) Time is flying past. I miss home already too :( I wonder how the cats are.. And how my parents are.. WHAT ARE THEY GOING TO DO WITHOUT ME?!?!?! ;) I miss home :( But I can deal :) Laurel and Selina were so cute when we were taking off~ Screaming and giggling every time they saw a plane take off or land :) I’m sitting with Rosie and Laurel. Having a blast except SOMEONE keeps knocking on her chair in front of me ;) Love ya Emma :) I was instructed to only write a few sentences....Haha whoops :) Well then I guess I’m signing out :) Love ya! Lizzy :)

Susan here - It has been fun already, surprisingly. The girls are wearing matching t shirts, which they made, and garnered a lot of attention. There was a 20 year old Mennonite woman at our gate who stopped to talk with the girls about what it is like to be Mennonite - no electronics, no music, she made her own clothes. A soldier stopped and talked with the girls about his time in Iraq, and a Brownie Girl Scout and her mom came over to visit. The girls are very open to talk. It’s late, and we are watching Jayne Eyre. We arrive at 3:30 am Atlanta time, and go to a hotel close to the airport to crash for a few hours. - Susan

It’s Coumbah,so far i have been having an awesome time! Right now we ar on the plan and it’s obviously raining tonight because you can see the lighting in the clouds which is so cool :) .When we got in the airport it was fun walking and talking to everyone through the airport.We already have meet a lot of people who are really interesting and are interested in our trip which is really COOL! In the plane we aren’t allowed to take our seat belts off :( but its still fun. I can’t wait until we get to Seattle in just a few hours :] -Coumbah ^_^

Donna here - it has been a blast watching the girls and listening to the conversations that occurred at the airport. We have drawn a bit of attention since we are dressed alike and it’s interesting to see who stops to talk. It’s also been fun to watch the girls on the plane. They were so excited when we took off that they all had their hands in the air like we were on a roller coaster!! We’ve been in the air for a few hours now, had our drinks and snacks, and everyone has settled down nicely. Looking forward to seeing Seattle but I know I’m going to be ready to crash as soon as we get there as it will be around 3:30am eastern time. - Donna

Brittany here- On the plane right now! It was so cool to see how excited all the girls were. Since I fly often, I wasn’t that excited, but of course it hadn’t registered in my mind that we are going to Seattle. Of course, it is the middle of the night Atlanta time, and I am exhausted. Maybe by the time we land in Seattle I will really believe that we are going cross-country.
