On Friday 16th of May, The Aussie team from Hervey Bay Christian Academy were supposed to arrive in St. Louis. But.......somehow they got delayed in New Zealand and did not arrive in time to make their connection in San Francisco. Much to their disappointment, they could not make it to St. Louis until Saturday and would miss the St. Louis Cardinals baseball game!Well, someone had to make the game so. . . .the Sauvageot family suffered through and watched a very exciting game. We had to rush out of the ball park in the 10th inning to make it to the airport in time. The Cardinals won in the 1oth inning with a walk off home run.
We rushed to the airport to make it in time to pick up our aussie friends. Steve and dad waited by the cars parked on the curbside while the rest of us went in to greet the team. Well. . . .the plane was an hour late. They finally arrived a bit weary and worn. It was really great to see some familiar faces and hear some great talking.
We had about an hour and half to reach Thompsonville, Illinois. We stopped at the church for a quick practice. Here we got a picture of the weary team! They were all excited about finally being in the USA>
