Touchdown in America

We have successfuly made our journey to the States. Because of major headwinds, our first flight took an hour longer than scheduled, leaving us a mere half hour to get through immigration, customs, re-check bags, security and get to the next gate. We RAN off the plane, ingoring the fact that the stroller wasn't at the gate yet. We rushed though immigration, once our bags were there we decided to forget about finding the stroller and just make the next flight. But when we went to re-check the bags, we got the dreaded news that we had missed the flight. This was followed by more bad news... that the next flight to Denver was in the morning. So they put us up in a hotel and gave us food vouchers. The hotel room was comfortable, but we are all suffering from jet lag. We finally got to Denver at noon today. But we are here! Here are a few highlights from the journey:
