Hello from..


All the girls going to Africa! Currently, we're residing in London, England at a starbucks. :] We're so glad that even overseas we have a little taste of home. So far our trip has consisted of... -Crying mothers as we depart on our long journey -Dificulties checking in -Lost bag scare, we found it :]
-Gianna fell asleep the moment we stepped on the plain.
-Vicki has yet to let go of her camera [that's for you mom]
-"Support the struggling models!" They apparently can't afford much clothing.
-Kayla found her bread!
-Kayla took pictures of the Audi's we saw.. Just for Trevor.
-Leah is now formally known as "Mushroom top"... the hair.
-An extremely long 11 hour plane ride -Sick travel guide -Nasty hair/faces -Groossss airplane food
-Rick and Darin claims that Loren was crying for Emi in his sleep, which Loren denies. 
-Loren was also accused of cuddling with Darin, who also can't sit still.
-Loren has also been named WalGreens.. He's loaded with medicine. :]
-We met up with Dave who's been here 8 hours prior to joining us who showed us the layout of where to go.
-Kayla is obsessed with the new money she has.. They have crowns.
-Leah asked the starbucks man where France was.. i think she was hitting on him.
-There was a ton of turbulence.
-Taking Ambien that knocked us all out for at least 5 hours. -Funny accents -Getting yelled at by security for taking pictures -Ate at Garfunkels Restaurant haha -it's raining as we type.. -Trying to figure out the currency -And now we wait at starbucks for another 5 hours for our next 11 hour flight to AFRRIICCAAA. it's been a great day :] -Kayla doesn't feel good, what's new?
-Leah feels just fine.
-Vicki's tummy hurts.
-Gianna's sneeze won't come out.
-Eric and Leah walked down the walking escalator backwards..
Please keep us in your prayers...
Everyone says hello to their families.
