The end of a long journey!!!

We made it to the Johnson's safe and sound after 20 hours of driving!! All of us including our dogs were so happy to get out of the truck!! We started our trip a little after 10pm on Saturday so the dogs and Maddie would sleep through the night while we drove. Scott ended up doing all of the night driving and I took over for several hours at 6am. We made it to Aunt Tia's and Uncle Jay's about 5pm on Sunday. Maddie was an absolute angel through out the drive, she slept, played and talked most of the time. She had one crying spell about an hour away from Aunt Tia's and that was it!!

We were greeted as we pulled in by the kids running out of the house to show off their welcome chalk sign in front of the garage. Then we settled in with the dogs and ate dinner. Afterwards Maddie got a bath and I showered. Scott ended up setting off some fireworks with the kids and Uncle Jay. We tried introducing Max and Hunny but that didn't go so well. We will try again later in the week. Hannah was nice enough to give up her room for us. Maddie is loving all the attention she is getting!! Mommy and Daddy are loving it too, because we get a break and can catch up on much needed sleep!!!

I will try and post some pictures later. I have a lot from fourth of July and a few from our time here so far!! Hope this finds everyone well. Thank you for your prayers for traveling mercies. We love you guys!!
