Our Vacation

At the airport ready to go!

Well, we are back. Let me tell you the weather here has been a rude welcome home. I am missing Florida already. Our trip went great! I have to give a big shout out to my in-laws who came along with us and made the whole trip more relaxing. It was so nice to have 4 sets of eyes on our 3 kids. We only lost Ethan the very last day for about 10 minutes. They were the most terrifying 10 minutes of my life....but he found a Disney worker and was safely back with us.

All in all the vacation was everything I had wished it to be. We pushed hard every day and I can honestly say we left having seen everything we wanted to see. It was great to be together as a family for one whole week just enjoying each other. It was so nice to see green trees and beautiful flowers and be outside in the fresh air for 6 straight days.


Being silly at the Animal Kingdom

If any of you plan on going with your family call me first. I had every detail and trick in my pocket and they all really helped. I think the longest we waited in line was 20 minutes and that for sure was the exception. We got great seats to all of the shows and all the research I did really paid off.

We had a great time but I think we were all ready to get home to a normal routine. The day after we got back school was cancelled. Abby came up to me and said, "Mom, my brain hurts. I think it is shrinking or something because I have not been learning." Oh, she cracks me up. We spent the next hour doing math problems together and she said she felt much better.

We had a great time and I can't wait for our next trip together!
