They have arrived #SaigersSouth meeting time

[Mark Saiger]

Aron, Jena and 3 of the Grandbabies have arrived.

There was another terrible MN storm taking place and they were 5 hours late but they made it.

The youngsters did fantastic for being stuck in airport on wait... Wonderful on their first plane ride ever... Crew and pilots loved them!

Dinner tonight got a little more difficult but wowza... They are 2,3,and 6... And after 16 hours of nonstop a little melt down from the 3 year old had just finally hit that point....

Classic comment so far in the single wide tonight from my wife to the Grandbabies "what the heck... Did all of you travel to Florida just to poop in our bathroom?!?!"

Aron and myself are going to the St. Petersburg FL Ronald McDonald houses to lend a brief hand during the cleaning tomorrow (high cleaning nerd factor too) His comment at dinner when I told him don't feel obligated with the lost time from today was "but I like doing it.... It makes me feel really good helping"! (more good Karma points)

We are going to spend time together (pretty close) wish us all luck!

Now baths and showers and fit a twin size mattress in tight quarters...

Meetings for all our futures also taking place...

A little of today

And just like that we had to take them to the airport this morning

There are a few tears this morning on all sides.

My wife went back to bed... A bit melancholy and I have a few tears being fought back.

What a whirlwind.

It's - 18 degrees below zero up North and the wife wants to go home soon... Our other little grandson at home missing us... We might have to go.

People wonder why we live there... Family roots, great community of people and great safe schools for our grandchildren. And we have a heck of a great established business to pass on...

And all in all... We had a heck of a great time! Can't wait to do it again.... There is a hollow feeling this morning....

What else do you do when you get home in the early morning after dropping them off at the airport....?

Look at the pics and videos….and make a video to keep you occupied.

It's been raining all day....just like tears....

We got word about an hour ago they are home safe though....cold...but safe....

Always like your family videos Mark. Reminds us of why we do what we do.

That would be the down side to having two locations that far away I don’t blame you at all, but it wouldn’t be without tears! I’m blessed!!
P.S. there’s ice in OC. today!
