Airport Troubles

We've had a roller coaster and the ride went extra long. We missed our flight coming to Bozeman, MT. by about 10 minutes! We had delays going to pick up another family in a van instead of going straight to the airport this delayed us 30 minutes. Once we got to the airport the lines were as long as ever. If the lines weren't this long we would of had our bags checked, but that made the ride begin. We then had to be on a standby flight to get to Denver, CO which would give us more options. We got lucky and made it and then when we got to Denver we had to be on another standby flight not being guaranteed a seat to Bozeman. 2 flights we sat through not making it on through the standby list. We then had to get a hotel and stay in Denver... ugh. We got up early in the morning hope to get this next flight, but we had another twist in the ride. Chelsea and I were on the standby list, but not my dad (my mom was taking another flight). This took about 20 minutes at the desk trying to fix this problem. My dad nearly broke out the tears (acting) because we were in such stress. We managed to get the flight, but delayed 30 minutes. 3 hours later home sweet home.

We are home! Being here for only 4-5 hours it is still nice. My dad actually went up and skied the rest of the day at Big Sky Mountain, while my sister and I stayed home resting. So we got here before Chelsea's birthday (December 23rd) and before Christmas... Hallelujah. So a long vacation ahead filled with skiing, family, eating, going into the Park (Yellowstone) and possibly meeting with Tom Murphy.
