I can do hard things...

 Okay so it wasn't that hard to take a red eye to Disney World. But the thought of us with two strollers, 4 sleepy kids and six carry on bags had been giving me a panic attack for months.  When we arrived at the airport the kids were wired and so excited I thought that we had made a huge mistake in our decision to leave at midnight.  We also happened to be at the same gate as Circe was when she got off her plane from a girls trip to San Juan.  She looked so nice and rested from her lovely trip with no kids. I had to admit I was a bit envious that she got to sit on a plane, read and sip coke all by herself.  She gave us a quick pep talk and reassured us that the kids would do great.  She is planning a a trip from Utah to Washington DC with 5 of her 7 kids this summer.  So I thought I can totally do this if she can do that.  She is amazing and in reality I am jealous of their summer plans.  I was sure Jersey was going to scream the whole way to Florida but as soon as we got on the plane she fell fast asleep and didn't wake up until our layover in North Carolina.   Kiptyn also slept through the entire flight, our layover and flight from North Carolina to Florida.  He didn't realize we had even been on a plane.  Cade and Austin started our trip off right by ordering a Coke from the flight attendant at one in the morning. They had the biggest grin on their faces knowing Mom hadn't caught them ordering Coke.    Then they fell asleep for the last of the flight and slept for a few hours.  Clint and I didn't get any sleep but we were glad that the little people slept and dreamt of Mickey Mouse.

Austin was pretty tired he fell asleep at the airport for a little while before we got on our plane.
Grandma, Jenny, Hiram and Lily joined in on the fun.  Jenny was a trouper it isn't easy to travel when you are pregnant.

Kiptyn and Austin were ready for Disney World right when the plane landed.
