Fly American!!!

Well, we made it home...FINALLY!! We had a wonderful flight to Georgia (thanks for the prayers!) & a wonderful time IN Georgia, and then we got on the plane to come home. Fun times coming back to DFW. Our flight took off at 3:45 Texas time & we made it to DFW on time but were put into a holding pattern due to bad weather. We flew in circles for about 45 minutes & were told we could land. Then we were told NOT to land & put back in the holding pattern for another 30 minutes. Finally the captain came over the speaker & told us that we were going to trun north & land...in OKLAHOMA CITY?!?!?!?!? We needed to refuel....we couldn't just keep flying in circles because the weather wasn't letting up. So we landed in OKC hoping to just refuel but no, we were told we could get off the plane & hang out. YIPPEEEEEE!! This turned out to be a blessing because Bishop had been cooped up FAR too long...he was beginning to become restles. So we got off long enough to potty & grab some food & luckily got to reboard quickly. After everyone was accounted for, we're ready to take off. But we didn't. Finallt the captain came on & said, "OKC is not used to this size aircraft so they are looking for something big enough to push us away from the gate." So we waited some more. We were finally able to take off & the flight to DFW was like 30 minutes. We made it to DFW & taxied into the gate & everyone jumped out of their seats glad to be home. But the doors did NOT open. We waited some more. The captain came on again & said, "It appears that the jetway is broken, but they have two men working to fix it...just a few more minutes." Yeah..like 15 & then the captain says, "It appears that they can not fix it so we are going to be pulled to a new gate." FINALLY, almost FOUR hours late we got off the plane. So, until the last 7 hours of our trip, it was perfect. I am not complaining too much...we made it safely & Bishop was okay in the end so we have much to be thankful for. Overall our trip was great & I will probably blog on it all week because I have much to tell & many pictures to post. We went to the zoo (yes, I saw my panda's:), two baseball games, a laser show, & much much more:)!!! Hope everyone else had a great weekend!!!!!!!
