First Impressions

We are here. Flight left a little late but the pilot made up a lot of time in the air. As we were flying in we could clearly see the snow making efforts ongoing on Cypress Mountain. Their struggles with snow conditions have been making the news for a few weeks now. Ainsley put it best when we exited the airport: "it feels like spring and smells like Orlando"

The airport was very busy as was expected but extremely well organized. Volunteers were holding up a sign looking for a "Sir" and a "Lady" from our flight and further into the airport other volunteers were holding up signs to greet people from NBC and the Today show. As we were getting our luggage the kids were happy to see the volunteer whose sole job it seemed was to give out lollipops to arriving visitors. Alex immediately dropped his lollipop on the luggage carousel and we had to wait out the revolution so he could get it back.

Ainsley and Alex both stayed up until 1030 which would be 130 am normally to them. Alex had taken a short nap during the car ride to our bed and breakfast and was ready to get to bed while Ainsley seemed like she could have stayed up longer - but after writing in her journal we tucked her in to dream of the day ahead.
