Made it!

Lucas took a picture in the airport to start the trip

 Well we made it to Quito even though it was freezing when we left Columbus.  Thanks to the shuttle driver we even had a warm car to travel in.  Also thanks to my mom and dad our car made it back to freezing Ohio.  The kids did great on the trip.  Melayna even took a two hour nap during our six hour layover in Miami!  Lucas loved that he got to drink and eat on the plane and watch a movie.  We were greeted very nicely from the people running the company and from our host family.  Our place is very  nice and the host family could not be sweeter.  We are learning how little Spanish we know, but what an opportunity to learn more.  The kids did great again today even though we got lost in the rain and thought we were locked out of the apartment this morning.  We are still working out the kinks and figuring out how to get places, but that will take time.  Overall a good start to the trip.  Thank you for the continued prayers and thoughts.  We know we are truly blessed!

Ready or not here we come

This is how we rolled in the airport

Long day or traveling calls for a nap

We listened to Grandma and Papap read a book they recorded
