Now it's time to say goodbye...

Our last day in Disney was spent at the pool. 






It was snowing back at home again! So we reeeaaaallly did not want to go home! 
But alas, we had to. So we went back to our room and showered, and said goodbye to Auntie and Flobby. Although, this time it was so easy! It is so nice to be able to say "Bye! See you tomorrow!" Because basically, we are lucky enough now to be able to see them whenever we want! 

Then we had our last lunch and did some shopping. We found the perfect souvenirs for all of our friends and family. 
The Disney's Magical Express picked us up in the lobby and took us back to the Orlando Airport. I had to take one last picture of my Magic Band. I just couldn't take it off. We all wore them all the way home and Brooks even slept in his that night! Such a fun reminder of a most magical trip. We made the best memories. Yes, we dealt with meltdowns. Yes, the crowds were annoying at times. But really, overall, it was the happiest place on Earth! 

We ended up being pretty delayed on our flight coming home. There was a terrible snow storm and we were so surprised that we even landed in Denver. The pilot had to attempt landing a few times and come back up to circle around a bit more because the visibility was so bad, the runways were snowy, and the gates were being moved. It was turbulent and a bit scary and I had a 5 year old that needed to pee VERY badly but could not get out of his seat because the fasten seat belts sign was on and we were preparing for landing. Only we were preparing for landing for like an hour! It was not the most fun ever, that's for sure! But we made it and got home after 1 a.m. Thank the Lord for a SNOW DAY the next day!!! 
We were able to sleep in, shovel, unpack, do laundry, and chill! It was the best gift ever considering we hadn't had a Snow Day in years! 
The boys were excited to get bundled up and jump in! From the pool to the snow in just 24 hours! 











Brooks loved making snow balls but really didn't want to dive in the snow just yet.

His brothers, on the other hand, LOVE the snow!


They built a Snow Mickey with Mark. 

And they went up to Chaparral to going sledding! 

Then it was an early bed time and back to school and work the next day.
We definitely felt like we needed a vacation from our vacation, but every second was worth it! 
The trip of a lifetime! 
Love you Johnson fam! Thank you so much for joining us!

Leaving is the worst. So sad. And all that snow!! We can definitely relate to leaving the warmth and sunshine and coming home to snow and cold! Boo! But it looks like your boys made the most of their snowy day at home too. So glad you made it home safe and sound!
