Edwin, travels, and Tory (of course!)

I thought I'd share a quick story about Edwin's flight home from Mexico with the team a couple weeks ago... :) In case you didn't  know, He was detained at their port of entry in Salt Lake City, and they took him to the "back room" for questioning.... who knows why?? He has all his papers in order.  But anyway, they did. Asked him silly questions like, "What's your phone number?", and,  "What color is your hair?"  Then they said, "Ok, fine, you can go."  Edwin was like, "Fine, where's my ticket?"  They were like, "Ticket? What ticket?" and by the time they printed him out a new one, he had missed his flight!  Thankfully, there was still another flight that evening, which only left an hour and a half later, so he didn't have to wait too long.  And when he did get in, all bummed out from not being able to come back with the gang, he was welcomed by a crowd of about 10 people who had stayed behind from the first flight to welcome him home with cheers and banners that said, "Free Edwin!" on them. :) He was pumped about that.  He also received about 25 text messages from the team as well, all saying, "Free Edwin!"  :)  It was cool and made the whole incident not be so bad.  :) Plus he had me to welcome him home too, right? :)   Also, I was able to capture these moments of Edwin playing with Tory today... so cute! :)

Quería compartir algo que le pasó a Edwin de regreso de su viaje a México hace dos semanas.... Por si acaso no oyeron, a Edwin lo pararon cuando llegaron a la Salt Lake City, la primera ciudad al que entró al país. Lo llevaron a un cuarto para cuestionarlo.... a saber porque pues todos sus papeles están en orden.  Le hicieron preguntas tontas como, -Cual es tu teléfono y -Qué color es tu pelo?  Por fín le dijeron que ya se podía ir y le dieron su pasaporte y tarjetas y Edwin les dijo, -Bien, pero, y mi boleto?  Ellos le dijeron, -Cual boleto? Ay, ay ay! Para cuando le imprimieron un nuevo boleto ya había perdido el vuelo con el resto del equipo.  Pero afortunadamente aún salía otro vuelo esa noche y sólo llegó un hora y media más tarde.  Estaba triste de no haber podido llegar con el resto del equipo pero le esperaba una sorpresa cuando llegó a Pasco, donde lo recogí.  Se quedaron atrás como 10 de los miembros del equipo para recibir a Edwin también! :) Tenían banderas que decían "Liberen a Edwin!" y todos lo saludaron con las banderas y gritos de felicidades y bienvenida.  También muchos le mandaron como 25 texts que también decían "Liberen a Edwin!" en su celular.  Le levantó mucho los ánimos a Edwin ver a toda esa mara. :)  Y también, desde luego, yo estaba ahí también, verdad? :)  También hoy en la tarde pude campturar estos videos de Edwin y Tory jugando... :)

No WAY! Wow. It sounds like Edwin had a bonus adventure. That's awesome that some of the people stuck around to wait for him. It's a good thing his green card didn't still say Mexico. :) Oh, and those videos are CUTE!

She is so tall!!! I love it that she laughs as long as she is trying to get the ball from her daddy, and as soon as she gets it, it's like the fun is over... She is so cute!!!
