Whew! Ellie survived her first Spring Break adventure as a Johnson! And was she ever a TROOPER! The week started off last Friday, March 13th in Kansas City... Our friends Bob and Alissa got married on Saturday the 14th and Daddy was the Best Man in the wedding... So we all got dressed up and enjoyed a BEAUTIFUL day celebrating with our friends, some alumni and current students. It was a blast!

It also happened to be cousin Wyatt's FIRST birthday and they were in Kansas City celebrating! So Uncle Joe and Wyatt came over to our hotel to play for a couple of hours. Boy, did we have fun! It took a few minutes for Ellie and Wy to get reacquainted, but they did MUCH better together this time than they did at Christmas. Poor Wy wasn't feeling so well, and Ellie also had a little cold... but they still had fun together and it was great to get to see my brother Joe! Just wish we could have actually gone to the party. :( But we're thankful for the time we did have together, even if it was brief. Here are a few pics of the kiddos together.
After Kansas City, we headed to the University of Missouri for a campus tour, then to St. Louis to the zoo! Monday we all jumped in our 2 vehicles (10 students and the three of us!) and headed to Murray where we stayed with Grandpa and Grandma Johnson for a couple of days. Boy did we have fun! Barry and Mary Gail were gracious enough to house our whole crew... boys in the living room, girls upstairs and in the sunroom and our little fam had the bedroom! We had a wonderful time. It just went by too quickly! But we did manage to snap a few great pics of our time together!
After Murray, we headed to Ole Miss for a fun campus tour, then to Memphis and we ended our trip in Fayetteville, Arkansas! Whew! Over 1600 miles in 6 days in a different bed almost every night! And Ellie did GREAT! She is such a trooper, for sure. We had such a memorable time together... Thanks for praying for our trip!

Sounds like you guys had a nice trip! :) What were you doing visiting the University of Missouri campus? Did you know that James will be getting his PhD there starting this Fall and we'll be moving to Columbia this Summer? :)
