This is a random picture of a volcano that Chloe built.
Disneyworld 2014... a trip of a lifetime.
For the past 7 years, Brad and I have been doing this whole medical school thing and residency thing. We had been wanting to take our parents on a trip for that whole time; A trip to say thank you for all of everything they had done. Visits for new babies born, visits during the winter gloom, and fun visits when we were back in Utah. So, we got thinking...Florida in February. Perfect.
I actually can't believe the trip has come and gone. It was so fun.
We spent 2 days at Magic Kingdom, 1 day at Animal Kingdom, and 1 day at Hollywood Studios. We did have a couple of days of ugly weather but the good weather more than made up for it. Back home, in Peoria, they were experiencing negative temps and school closures, so this was a welcome retreat.
Just some snap shots from the week. Lola always acts like a big kid and this trip was no exception. Brad pretty much carried her the entire week. She didn't love being in her stroller unless is was nap time. EZ on the other hand preferred to ride most of the time.
We met a few characters. Luckily, our kids didn't want to wait in lines to meet them. So if we ran into them it was perfect. One morning we saw Sofia and Jake in their incognito spot. No traffic at all.
Disney is magical with kids.
And this guy...he was so happy all week. Always a big smile. He has put in so much work to get to this point in his career and it was nice to see him just relaxing and taking it all in.
This girl was the funnest age to be there. She was tall enough to ride all of the rides, including the scary ones like Tower of Terror and the new Everest Rollercoast which went backwards in the dark and upside down.
Everyone willing to stop and smile for my many picture moments. I am in the process of making a digital book on Snapfish, which is the only way to go for vacation memories.
See Lola's face. She really loves Sophia.
One of Chloe's souvenirs was a disneyland puzzle that she chose. On our day "off" we stayed at the condo and built the puzzle. I think I may pack a puzzle or two on future vacations because it was so fun to just sit around a build it together.
The grandparents. They were having as much fun as the kids!
And I got to ride a few rides with this guy!
And then it was time to go home! Which involved a 5am-2pm day, which was supposed to be a 5am-10:30am day but atleast it didn't turn into a 5am-11pm day like it could have.
More posts coming soon. I still love to blog. Do you??
