Immigration and Customs went well at Dulles. I gathered the passports and stood in line while we received our boarding passes to Chicago. We had word that Clayton's grandfather had passed away, so we told the kids. Our prayers are with the family.
The layover in Chicago was long and filled with anticipation. I afforded us a chance to eat...I had dinner, breakfast and lunch on the plane, so when we landed stateside I had breakfast again, after 32 hours of traveling my stomach lost track of time zones.
We had our final reflection and prayer in the Chicago airport.
As we reached Minneapolis the kid's national pride showed as they were all sporting American Flags and ululating in the Ethiopia manner. I guess they were as confused as my stomach! Lots of tears...joy.
It was a great trip.
