Back from Disney!

This year we decided to meet Mike's family in Disney World (that's the one in Florida). My mom joined us, (she had never been) so it was a great opportunity to spend some quaity time with the grandchildren. I was a bit nervous about taking the boys on a plane, wondering how they were going to behave and react, but they did great. The watched their shows and played games on the iPad which kept them completely entertained. I didn't even have to pull out any of the other toys/coloring books to entertain them. (now I have some stocking stuffers) I wasn't too thrilled about lugging 2 car seats through the airport and will probably not fly with the boys again until they are done with them.

We spent 2 days at Magic Kingdom, 2 days at Animal Kingdom and one day at Epcot. We spent one day at the hotel so that the boys could play in the pool and take naps, which they did. They also had a water slide which Luke begged me to take him on, which I had to do while Gavin was napping since he was too short to ride on it. I had to bribe him with ice cream to get him off the slide.

It was a wonderful and exhausting trip and I was glad that we were able to go. But I'm also glad to be home. It will be nice to go back when the kids are older— a LOT older—maybe in 10 years.
Until then, we have some nice pics to remember the trip.



They are really into parades at Disney. I think we saw about 5 of them.

Mike's sister Jill and her hubby Justin. They are high school sweethearts. Aren't they cute? They make cute kids too.
