Hey ya’ll, Mikaela here.

I’m gonna’ start at the start of the trip and continue all the way down to our house.

The airport was fairly busy , The lines were long , pretty much like any day at the airport.The interesting thing is that any time I’ve been to the airport Its either been to drop people off and say goodbye or to pick people up and say hello. But this time we weren’t going to go out of the Calgary airport. We were going to board a plane! My feelings then are hard to describe, I almost had butterflies in my stomach, yet I wasn’t really nervous or really excited, I think God helped me understand everything, and he gave me peace about the plane ride down. I could see almost everybody was really excited about it.

Once we were on the plane , It was fun to look out the window as we were taking off, watching the ground get further and further away. Thankfully the seats ahead of us had TV’s (Tiny ones) on the back of them. .Every now and then I would look out the window and see the beautiful landscape. One part that was especially beautiful was when we were flying over Nebraska. I didn’t take pictures unfortunately , but it was very pretty. Another example of God’s amazing creation! I think one of the most fun parts was the turbulance while we were landing. It made your tummy  a little queasy though.

Once we were landed in Houston, the weather change was drastic!The step from the air conditioned airport to outside was a little it like stepping into a sauna. Not that big of a jump in temperature but enough to really notice it. We were sitting on a bench waiting for a friend of Mom and  Dad’s when we noticed a lizard on the garbage can! Even though we thought it was pretty cool, Lizards are pretty common in Texas.

When we got picked up and dropped off at our house , it was kinda late so Dad and Daelynn went to another of Dad’s friends’ house to borrow some air mattresses .(this had been arranged , Dad didn’t just knock on their door randomly and ask to borrow some air mattresses :) It was cool to discover that lots of lizards lived in our front yard under rocks and in bushes,

So that’s it folks, My partial account of The Trip Down!
