OHIO!!

This is the WHOLE family (minus our missionaries Deric in Hondurus and Evan in Benin) waiting at the airport for Grandma and Grandpa Flinders to arrive. Takaji had been tracking their flights on his phone all day and gave updates all the way to the airport. It was really fun!

Putting the finishing touches on the sign.
Felycia, Kayla, Logan, Gillian, Hillary
When Dad saw all of us standing waiting for them he said to my mom, "Well, the whole family is here!" Mom said, "I know... HAPPY BIRTHDAY!" (He turned 70 on Feb.7th) She planned for months to have all of us there for the arrival. Dad didn't have any idea! It was kinda like his 60th birthday when she had the whole clan, including 9 of dad's 10 siblings in Wendover for a surprise party.
The adults went to the Columbus Ohio temple on Saturday morning. It was such a great experience to be there with together. The last time we were in a temple together was when Lars and I got married 11 years ago. (The picture isn't downloading... darn you blogspot!!)

We went to Buffalo Bills for lunch on Saturday. It's a pizza, arcade type place. The pizza was delicious and the games were fun and gave plenty of tickets!

Christi, what a super fun post! I loved seeing pictures of your parents. They were both such a wonderful example to us, and we were so blessed to have gotten to know them in Wendover. When you get a moment I would love to get their new address in Ohio so I can write them. Your family is adorable and growing up so quickly.
