At the Airport

a "walking away" picture...
with all the luggage (both less than 50 pounds!!!  woo hoo!!!)

waiting in line to check in

flight was delayed, we got there an hour early...that makes for a long wait....
and it was crowded, so Andrew found a place to lay

as soon as they announced that people could begin boarding, William got in line, but we still wanted to take a picture, so William told the lady behind him that she could go, she walked around him, but then the whole rest of the line started passing him, too...haha....we were thinking, "I only said SHE could go"...but William was nice, like a missionary should be, and he went to the end of the line.

Andrew wearing William's suit coat.  He might fit into this by time William comes back!  I told William not to wear it out, so that Bradley and Andrew can have his suit for their mission.....yeah, right!?!?!!!

getting ready to go through security

William's luggage is right on top. 
Chico Airport is so small that the guys who check people in at the counter
 are the same guys to load the plane. 

we got a smile and a wave as he walked to the plane

this was the last we saw of him....the delay was LONG....I hope he makes his connection...no way to know, though, he doesn't have his cell phone to call us!  Bon Voyage mon fils.
