One Long Flight


So we were going to have a direct flight. I thought we can handle that I will pack Kees a backpack of toys he hadn't seen before and a bag full of snacks. We got on the plane and sat for about 2 hours when the flight attendant came over the speakers and told us that the plane was having a problem and that we would need to exit the plane. Well in that two hours of sitting on the plane Kees went through most the snacks and half the toys and Crayola crayons were rolling across the floor. So we gathered our things and headed off the plane. About 2 hours later they told us that we could get back on the plane. So we gathered our things again and got back in our seats only to hear one more hour later that there was still a problem and that we would have to stay in a Hotel and try for a connection flight in the morning. By the time we got to the Hotel Kees has gone through the rest of the toys and I was throwing up sick....I'm thinking now it was food poisoning like you need that in this situation! So the next morning we boarded the plane sleepy and still sick and headed to the NL. Steve was great with Kees on the plane. He played with him and they looked at books while mommy was busy running to the bathroom and using her flight throw up bag. We made it to Amsterdam and met our Netherlands missionary friends. Everyone here has been so helpful to us! We are all getting rest and mom is feeling much better!
