Perfect Ending

I came across this picture which happened on our trip. It was one of my favorite moments. They had been in bed for all of 5 minutes. Of course I had to share it.

The Magic of the Kingdom

Here are our final vaca photos . We had a great trip together and the weather was so nice that we stayed an extra day just to swim in our pool. This is a picture of our kids with our friends that ended up going down to Florida also.

The Browns. We love em.

Here we can talk about the joys of a wish list. It's great because my children aren't begging for things all of the time but there is still the constant question of "hey mom, can I put this on my wish list." I always say yes and they always seem to get excited about it.

Animal Kingdom

Animal Kingdom was great but I didn't get many photos there either. Highlights were the Safari ride, the wild rapids ride which Maggie was able to do, she got soaked, and of course Charlie's favorite.... Mt. Everest. We capped the day off with dinner at Rain Forest Cafe.

Character Crazed

We have many highlights from our trip but some of the extra fun was that our neighbors were down in Florida when we were and so we were able to join up with them for two of our days. I didn't take my camera along but was able to get a few shots on my phone. Sadly I seemed to miss any pictures of Miss LeighAnne. And most of this post exclude Charlie too. He was way too cool to stop and take pictures with the characters. Woody, Mike, Kimber, Jessie, Mr. Bill, Jane, Maggie &William

I happen to love this video of Jane, Maggie and William watching the Beauty and Beast play. It captures why it's so fun to take your kids to Disney.

Family Fun

We decided to take advantage of a little school break in January and drove down to Florida to live it up. One of our stops was Sea World. This is my husbands magical world. He always told me that if he didn't have a family he would be a marine biologist. He loves the ocean and animals in it. Shamu.

And if you click on the picture to make it bigger, you'll find Mike in a big yellow slicker and Charlie in a red shirt. They went for the splash zone. The girls and I were not so adventurous.

Mike signed us up for a little one on one with the dolphins.

We were able to hit Sea World on two different days. The weather was perfect. We loved the shows. We ate dinner with the sharks. They had some great rides that we had to miss out on because Charlie wasn't quite tall enough.
