Airport food for dinner: $15
Spending 3 1/2 hours at the airport with great friends: priceless
It's not every day that you get to spend an afternoon at the airport to see some special friends. Lucky for us, our good friends from PA were on their way home with a long layover in Chicago. We waited to tell Kelsie and Brandon that we were going to go see their old friends until just before we left and you would have thought it was Christmas all over again! The whole drive to the airport we heard, "I can't wait to see Sage and Gabe!" Once we got to the airport, we arranged for a meeting place and then waited for them to come. Kelsie was overcome with excitement and when she finally saw her friend Sage, it was a scene right out of a movie. They both ran to each other and ended in a huge hug. It was the same for Brandon and Gabe.We spent the next 3 1/2 hours hanging out at the airport and enjoying the time we had to spend with their family. The train ride was lots of fun for everyone and getting food at the food court couldn't have been more exciting (Wally had to wait 15 minutes for Brandon's Happy Meal). When it was time to say good-bye, we held back our tears and had to explain to our kids one more time that they had to go home and that we'll hopefully see them again soon.
After all, isn't that what family is for?

Great pics! (Except for "the bearded one". What's his deal?)
I was going to say the same thing--I love the picture of Sage and Kelsie. The beard is an interesting addition to Benji's look--is this preparation for the real academic world or something?
I Love that pic of the chicas... it's very good :)
