I felt really sorry for Jon & Kate(and helpers) on the airplane. What a parental nightmare to be stuck on the plane.

Although maybe I should feel sorrier for the other passengers on board!

Also, I noticed Jon & Kate were very open about the ski outfits they were given and the house they were able to use. I thought she did a good job of expressing her thanks and mentioning how glad she is that her children have been given the opportunity to try some different things.

I really enjoyed the skiing episode. The kids were really cute even when they were crying. I loved seeing Jon get to be himself a little more. And you are right, they are very open about donations and Kate even commented that they realize how privileged they are. I have never been skiing but would love to. If someone offered me the opportunity, I wouldn't turn it down.

i loVed the episode too and it's funny b/c i am like Kate i prefer to be indoors not out in the snow..brrrr
but the kids looked soo cute but they always do...

I really enjoyed this episode too. It was nice to see Cara have the chance to shine. She seems to get overshadowed by Mady alot because of Mady's behavior. It was great that she took to skiing so much.
I felt bad for them on the plane too but I thought it was odd that on that huge plane there were only 16 passengers. And they had one guy sitting right behind their family. Couldn't he have just moved to the front of the plane to get away from all the craziness?

Oh my gosh i didnt even mention the plane trip..LOL i felt Kate frustration...it was stressful for them all having to wait...and the poor kid's...and other passenger's..lol..

I really enjoyed the ski trip episode. I was soooooo upset with Mady because she just never seems to be diciplined for her bad behavior and disrespect to her parents. Remember when Kate was lying on the couch and told Mady to go to Beth to get lip balm. She yelled, "no" to HER MOTHER? my mom wouldn't have stood for that and neither do I. Then she went upstairs and SLAMMED the door. Oh my!!! The others were so cute in their outfits. I also loved when Leah cried for "my Hannah". That was so cute and finally when Kate asked Aidan if he was sorry that he was the only boy to stay home and he simply and confidently said "no". He's so cute. I'm looking into a winter vacation there next winter. We won't have as many people but it's sure to be fun.

This episode totally made me want to take my kids skiing!!!!
I'm more like Jon though and do the snowboard thing... although I am nowhere near as good!
The kids were totally cute trying to ski!!!
The airplane ride.... ugh... I was crying inside for them... I've been delayed with just one and that was hard!
The place they stayed was gorgeous!!!
Cara was so great skiing all by herself so well!!! Go Cara!

I wondered why those people behind them on the plane didn't move to the front...that was odd. I would have cried just like Kate did. Shows exactly why they chose to drive to Disney instead of fly. They were criticized for that decision on the other board...now hopefully those critics see the reasoning.
