August 25, 2009 - Leaving on a Jetplane!

On our way to the Airport....

(click the above link for a little video)


It's time to go!


Brendon and Connor both flew out of the Sacramento Airport straight to Sau Paulo, Brazil.
HOWEVER,
Connor left at 8:25am on American Airlines changing planes in Dallas
and
Brendon flew out at 11:35am on Delta Airlines changing planes in Atlanta

Needless to say this was going to be a long Goodbye!

Another little video clip: (click link below)

Here we come Brazil!

AND NOW IT'S TIME FOR HUGS:


Goodbye Mom!
Goodbye Dad!



Goodbye Sisters!


 
...and Goodbye Brother, until tomorrow, we meet in Sao Paulo!

ELDER CONNOR IS OFF TO BRAZIL! 

Funny thing happened....
We said all of our goodbyes and shed some tears and then sent him up the escalator.




A few minutes later he came back down, refastening his belt.
In all our emotional states, we did not realize we were sending him into the wrong concourse!
They had stopped him at secuirty and sent him back!

We laughed through our tears and hugged him again, glad for a few more moments.



Then we said goodbye AGAIN and sent him off AGAIN , this time at the correct escalator for the correct gate!







Destination: Sao Paulo!
