Luckily the hotel was three doors down the street. That was great. After a nights rest the kids hung out in the morning, and we all got ready for family pictures.

Eric didn't even last until we got to IHop.

At the end of the night we went across the street to Ihop. Ethan fell asleep in the chair next to me, in the middle of chewing a bite of pancake. He suddenly just started leaning over on me and was out, mouth still full of food.

This is my favorite pic of the night. I took three of the kids to play, while Tess and Barry kept the babies, to allow the rest of the Adults a turn on a ride. I came back to see these great looks on their faces, and hearing too screaming babies.Those ppoor baby girls had enough Disney for the day.

Since it was 104 the day we went to Disney, we had to stop in for some Ice Cream to cool off.

Our first all Johnson family weekend. The last weekend of August was planned to go to California for Stephen's mission farewell. I will be completely honest here, I was not looking forward to it. Life around our house had been a nightmare for weeks. Trying to get the place put back together after the flooding we had. All our time had been spent working on the house, things out of order,kids feeling neglected, Andrew and I both tired and frustrated, money being tight was an understatement, and Elizabeth would be only two weeks into a new school schedule. The timing was just awful. Originally we were planning on driving out Friday night, and coming home Sunday, that's a long time in the car with our three kids, for a short visit. I knew it was important all along that we go, but it just seemed impossible.

Well I convinced Andrew to take a couple extra days off work, and we went. We had a Great time, and are so glad we were able to go. It was fun to have all the kids together all weekend. I'll fill in on the weeekend later. Lot's to catch up.
