Flamingo?!

We had the chance to bring this Pink Flamingo with us to Minnesota. We were so excited. We were going to take some pictures of it in some huge snow drifts and possibly some pictures of the kids sledding down a hill with it. We had tons of ideas. We started on our trip and got through Georgia and forgot to take any pictures of it next to a state sign. Oh well. Then we came to Tennessee.

 

We found a cool sign to take a picture with, and then continued on our journey.

We came to Kentucky and found a cool sign for a picture. Then continued on our journey.

We came to Illinois and found a cool sign for a picture. We took more than one picture in Illinois.

It was Metropolis, Illinois. You know, where Superman is. Well, the flamingo got a little carried away. While we were stopped here, we were talking about Minnesota. The flamingo got scared, and didn't want to go there. We don't blame him. He ran away. He stayed in Metropolis, Illinois for the remainder of our vacation. We noticed he was missing after driving all the way through Illinois, and half way through Wisconsin. We would have been adding another day of driving if we went back, so we just prayed that nobody would take our hideous little friend.

We had a great time in Minnesota. We loved seeing our families, and friends. We quite enjoyed the snow, but we are glad that we are back in Florida. On the way driving back, we of course had to stop in Metropolis to see if our Flamingo was there. God is great!! He was there. We weren't that worried that he wouldn't be. We hurried to take some pictures of him in the snow.

There wasn't nearly as much snow in Southern Illinois as there was in Minnesota, but it was snow none the less. We all had a big sigh of relief when he was found.
