Saying Goodbye

We all headed to the airport to say goodbye to Elder Warburton.  There are a few things you need to know about this trip:

  • Jared doesn't like to hug.
  • Carson did not want his picture taken or to be hugged.
  • We might just be the most awkward family on the planet.
This was the start of Carson refusing to get his picture taken. 
Right before Gary took this picture, he announced that he was going to take a stealth picture....meaning that he was trying to be sneaky so that Carson didn't realize that he was getting his picture taken.  Emily and I are laughing that Gary LOUDLY announced that he was being stealthy.  It worked though because Carson is in the picture!!
One of the only ones with a real smile from Jared!
Last minute advice from Dad...you can tell by Jared's glazed over look.
More advice...still glazed...a thumbs up from Chris.
The moment I realized that he forgot to shave.
Notice he is not hugging her.
Oh....she got a little pat on the back!
Chris sort of got a hug.
No hug for Dad.
The secret to getting a hug from Jared is to not let go.
Carson DOES NOT want a hug!!
Still no hugging!
A fake out...pretends he's giving a hug and then smacks him on the rear.
They're friends again.
One arm hug for Mom.
I just held on until I got a real hug.
And....he's off.
As we were leaving the airport, they announced on the intercom that someone had forgotten their lunch at security.  I heard it and thought "Oh good...he doesn't have a lunch to lose."  Then halfway home, the thought hit me that he had a 3 month supply of insulin in that green lunchbox that he was carrying and so for the next several hours, I worried that he had forgotten it.  Luckily, I worried for nothing.  He AND his insulin made it all the way to England.

Phew!!
