When we got on the bus Ellie wanted to hold ALL the goodies that the crowd had given her ...
When we arrived in Orlando ... It was awesome ... Over whelming ... Emotional ... There was a crowd of over a thousand and they were all there for the Veterans... they were hollering and clapping ... they had gifts for the kids.... teddy bears, candy, homemade cookies , flags, flowers for the Todd ... kids with homemade signs saying "God Bless You" and "Thank You" , people we didn't even know, giving us hugs and in tears ... It was so sweet for all these people to be there to show Todd support and to say thanks ...
She finally went to sleep on the plane ... of course this was right before we landed ...
I guess Ellie thought it necessary to read the safety directions ...
Also ... Tony Orlando came to show his support ... If you don't know who he is, ask you moms ... He sang "Tie A Yellow Ribbon" for us and even traveled on the plane with us and sang Christmas songs ... Really nice guy ...
Even Mr and Mrs Santa Clause were there ... they handed out goody bags for the kids ...
Ellie was very excited ... here she is watching for the plane ...
They named the plane "Flagship Freedom" ... and put a big yellow ribbon on the tail ...
American Airlines chartered a flight for the veterans and their families ... They went above and beyond ! They had yellow balloons and ribbons everywhere, breakfast and Christmas music playing .... Lots more Disney World pictures coming soon ...
