We headed to the Calgary airport to welcome my cousin Andrew home from his mission in Chile. He and his family live out in Kelowna right now, but they were flying into Calgary and as many as the Bourne/Jones clans as were available descended to show our happy greetings.
His flight was coming in through Toronto, so most other passengers were local, but we waved our Canadian flags proudly, regardless of the stares.
His parents had flown down a week earlier to spend some time with him in Chile and flew home with him, so we were able to welcome 3 people, instead of just one. It was fun to see his reactions to the huge crowd, and the culture shock was starting to show, even in the first few minutes.
We got a nice shot of him greeting his two sisters...it'll be a nice reunion when Chris, his older brother, comes home from his mission in California.
And here's a shot of the whole family (minus Chris) happy to be home and off the 19 hour flight!
Our kids also enjoyed playing hide-and-seek with mom while we waited, and then heading upstairs to the airport play-place for a few minutes before heading back home.
Welcome home Elder! Bienvenido!

Hi Heather...thanks for commenting. I hate it when new people read my blog and don't tell me about it, kind of creepy!
Anyway...Andrew went on a mission and is now home? what the? I feel like he is still in young men's in the tuscany ward! Where did the time go? And Chris is on a mission too? I'm so out of the loop!
