Well, I have officially decided that if you travel with the DeValve family, you will have an adventure. No matter what

Our plane left Niger two hours late. Then we stopped in Ouga (which was scheduled, but they didn't tell us until we were randomly landing an hour into our flight....). The stop in Ouga was supposed to be about 45 minutes...which stretched into 2 hours. Some guy had to be medically evacuated and so they had to get the plane ready for the guy. We were supposed to have a 3 hour layover in Casablance...but by now we were worried about actually making our flight. Fortunately, we made it to Casa in time and then flew into JFK and took a bus up to Hartford, CT.

While we were in CT, we celebrated my Grandparents 50th anniversary. It was a lot of fun to see all my relatives again...

My grandma has four sisters and they all came with their husbands..except one whose husband is already in heaven.

It rained...i was cold

Cousins... Cousins (minus a few) and grandma's sisters

Grandpa and Grandma!
