After spending a day and a half flying and finding our way around 4 different airports we arrived at our destination yesterday morning. We had a rather amusing experience getting thru security at one of the airports. As they scanned Brett’s ticket before we went thru security an alarm went off and they hurried him off into a side room and left me waiting there with no explanation. Apparently they had our checked luggage in the room and they wanted to make sure we had not made a bomb out of the Desitin and Tylenol that we had brought along as donations for the baby home. They opened up a couple of the boxes to see what was inside and all was well again. We ARE very glad to know that they are really checking these things and that we are flying safely.
We relaxed yesterday and caught up on some much needed sleep. This morning we finally got to go visit
Graham again. He has grown a lot, but he
is still the same sweet boy he was when we last saw him almost 9 months
ago. He is full of lots of love and even
more energy. He still loves to talk on
the phone. We brought a handheld Yahtzee
game with us this time since it makes some fun noises and he loved playing with
it. It is interesting to see the things
he has picked up by watching those around him.
Several times he spit on the screen of his Yahtzee “phone,” smeared it around with his hand, and then
cleaned it all up by wiping it off with his shirt. We also discovered that he loves to brush his
hair.
He is a very handsome boy!
This afternoon we visited a WWII memorail and then had our medicals
done. I think there were eight
different doctors that checked us out.
It went very quickly and we apparently passed the test.
Here is a submarine that went down during the war (there is now a museum inside)
A small church that we went into.
We will get to see Graham again tomorrow and then we have
our court appearance on Thursday.
