Chapter 75. Fly over states.
I couldnt think of a great name for this chapter and heard that song while typing this so picked it.
And hey it calls out Indiana in that song as well so had to include it.
So we are on the magical express or as some people call it the Unmagical express on the return trip.
we were at our gate by 4:00 after riding on the fake monorail.
parker rolling his luggage on the fake monorail.
we found some good seats and the kids settled in and played with some of there new toys.
the plane was there by 4:45 and muched down our McD's for dinner before loading at 5:00
we tried to see disney as we were taking off but there was a storm brewing that way and we were glad to have taken off before it got any closer, our air plane capsul was already wobbling back and forth during take off from the weather approaching.
i would hate to see what 5 more minutes would have felt like.
how did the kids react to the plan rocking, parker loved it, noelle was already knocked out on the lift off into the air.
and she stayed asleep till we started our decent.
it took about 10 minutes but we were then out of the bad clouds and seeing some nice open air above the rain clouds.
and a great looking sunset while we were traveling home.
the pilot told us it was 85 in orlando when we left and would be a balmy 40 in chicago when we landed.
he also told us that we would go straight up indiana and then bank hard at Ft wayne, which is in the far right hand corner of the state then make our decent into chicago from there...so when we banked hard to the left toward chicago we looked out the window and started seeing familiar sights within 5 seconds...so we knew he cut the state a little short because we saw the mall that is about 5 min from out house and we saw the lights at the sport fields by our home a little bit farther out.
parker got a kick out of seeing the area by our house from the plane.
that huge white blob is our mall area at the middle of the pic, and the skinny white line of cars you see is our major highway.
during the decent there was a little kid that was just screaming his head off behind us, now i get that, our kids have been there at that point of the decent as well, but the parents were doing nothing to help him, i mean nothing...no soothing what so ever...he was even screaming for the dad who was sitting behind them to hold him and the mom just kept saying i cant let you go to him we have to stay seated...well the kid wasnt even buckled he was on her lap....so i didnt see what the harm would have been to pass him back at least i think the dad would have comforted him, but ohh well...we were almost on the ground and ready to head home.
my parents picked us up at the luggage collection and i took the kids out while my mom and candi helped me get the rest of the bags.
we were home by 9:15 and showed them the new toys the kids got and they talked there ears off about what they did, well parker didn, noelle just played with her new stuff.
the kids were in bed by 10:30 which staying up that is late is nothing since they were pros for the night times in disney...might as well continue it one more night huh.
i did take a few pics of some of the goodies we brought home.
parkers new gifts...the monorail that he got for christmas and then the contemporary that he got for his birthday...i have learned that they now offer the polynesian as a resort stop for the monorail train, so that will more than likely be picked up on the next trip.
he can see a little bit of dented corners from packing or smashing the boxes in the suitcases.
and my shampoo collection from the trip that mousekeppers left in our room each day...they left us many, and we actually used about one bottle per day or two days. this is what we didnt use that they left in the room, the kids like useing them when they take baths every now and then, i think we still have 15 left as or right now.
and the mickey bar soaps, i have been using them since i got home last year, and believe it or not, i have been the only one using them in our shower, and i think i still have 2 left when i checked the other day...so thanks mickey for keeping me clean this year.
candis new mickey head pumpkin she got the last night there as a gift.
my blizzard beach mug that i got when i returned my locker key...and i actually just used it this morning to bring my chocolate milk with me to work.
and the vinylmations that we had traded for that trip...of that group we have since traded away the stitch, the see through pink mickey the rocker donald, he just had a wierd looking face, and the really weird one in the back behind the MK 71 one, i hid that one because i didnt like it at all.
parkers favorite was the rex one, and my favorites are the MK71 established one, and the AK98 established one. representing the years they opened.
i need to take a picture of our current ones, as we have since gotten a few more good ones from the disney store, and also gotten a few good ones as gifts for christmas.
that is all for our trip, i hope you enjoyed it everyone...and if you want to hear about our next trip, i will share that in the next chapter the trip wrap up and our favorites from the trip....i just ran out of time to include all of that here...so stay tuned for the final thoughts.

He likes a little turbulence I see! 
thanks for joining in and for reading along. they are great to take at that age, they just soak it all in, will they remember it, not likely but we will always remember the interaction that she had with everything.
that is a great idea.
