This morning we got up at 7:30 AM. Hailey was worried that we slept in too late, not knowing that there was a different time zone. It was really 6:30 AM. But that gave us more time to talk to Mom and Kaatje. We left the campground around 8:30 AM. We were about to go into a grocery store when Dad decided to check the air pressure, the ‘front left’ alert...

Posted by Kaatje So yesterday, when we arrived in Singapore after a long, 16 hour flight, we checked into our room, which is very nice, and then got into a cab and headed downtown to mannequin studios. We met a man named Ben who told us all about the team, took my measurements, got a video of my catwalk, and helped set up our cell phone plan. He said to expect 5...

This morning we got up at 6AM. Today we needed to drive 1100KM, so the sooner we got on the road the better. We quickly ate breakfast, had a video conference with Mom and Kaatje, then on the road. Today the wind wasn’t as bad, which made it easier to drive for Dad. We stopped at around 12:30 for lunch and to let Coco stretch her legs. When we got to North Dakota the...

Kaatje and I arrived an hour early. Apparently, we had a strong tail wind which sped us along but it did also make the fight was very turbulent at points. In fact, it was so turbulent that the pilot had to ask the flight staff to buckle into a jump seats a few times…so for those of you who fly, you know how bad it was. Kaatje took it all in stride after the...

This morning we woke up around six thirty. I was nervous. We still needed to pack a few more things and without mom it meant Dad and I had to pack. Luckily it was only a few things such as tooth brushes, pillows, and some of Maria’s toys. We left home around seven forty-five. We crossed the border without any delays, which meant we’d arrive at the campground...

After a teary good bye on my part, we sped through checkin and US customs and were at the gate with almost 2 hours to spare. It seemed like a long time but Kaatje quickly realized the airport offered free wifi and within minutes she had found that promlook photos had been posted. She poured over those while I caught up on work. We grabbed a quick piece of...

Since the transmission was fixed sooner than expected, we decided to make the most of it and head to Busch Gardens the next day. The girls were so excited. We had been here years ago and Kaelyn was a hair to short for the most exciting ride int he park. She says she has felt incomplete all these years with this hanging over her head so we needed to knock Shekra...

We were all devastated to be leaving Disney. We went for a quick swim to say good bye and it turned into an all morning swim. Poor daddy was left to work and pack up camp all by himself. To my defense, I did do four loads of laundry that morning though. Of course, it was futile since a temper tantrum ended with the clean basket of folded laundry in a pile of...
