Disney World
Today was our first day at Disney World.
We went to Magic Kingdom and as soon as we made it over to the park through the ferry, we caught the start of a parade. The kids loved it. Then we headed for the merry-go-round and I took a cute picture of Taylor riding a horse. It was super hot outside so we immediately had to get drinks after that. Then as we were waiting in line for “Its a Small World” another family with a special needs child told us that we could get a pass for Thomas (who has Down Syndrome) so that we could basically fast pass all rides and/or use the handicap entrance. After “Its a Small Wolrd” we went to get one of these at City Hall and it was amazing!! We had to wait only minutes for every single ride that we went on, it was great!
After we got the pass, we met up with a friend of Shelley’s from New York that happened to be at the same park as us and we hung out with her and her daughter. We rode Buzz Lightyear (a few times), Race Cars, Teacups, Dumbo, Carousel of Progress, Peter Pan, Winnie the Pooh, and Pirates of the Caribbean. During the middle of those we did stop to eat at a cafe. I was a little worried it was going to cost alot of money to eat at the park, but it really wasnt much more expensive as fast food (we got a cheeseburger, fries, and a drink for about $7).
We had alot of fun today and cant wait to go back tomorrow!
Shelley’s House
So after driving several more hours today, we finally made it to Shelley’s house yesterday. We got here around 5:30-6ish. We ordered pizza from a really good pizza place and ate dinner. It was very good! Afterwards we decided to go swimming for a little bit before bedtime. The kids had a great time playing together! I gave them a bath afterwards and Taylor used a froggy hooded towel. She was so cute. 
Today we did not do a whole lot. After taking the boys to school, Shelley had a hair appointment this morning. We went with her and went to the mall while she was having it cut/colored. It was a regular mall except they have alot of surf stores that we dont have in Texas (of course, what would we need them for?! lol). One of them had a real pool/wave for surf lessons. It looked really neat to watch others and Jamie wants to do it sometime. After her appointment was over we ate lunch and headed to the grocery store for things for dinner. When we got home Taylor took a nap and Shelley picked the boys up from school. Afterwards we let them have popsicles in the backyard. They really enjoyed those!! Then Shelley cooked lasagna rolls and her friend Darren came over. After dinner and we put the kids to bed, Jamie and I went to pick up his sunglasses (he left them at the place we had lunch) and our Disney tickets. I think we are going tomorrow. So Excited!
Florida, Here we come!
We left today for a trip to Florida. We are going to visit Aunt Shelley, Thomas and Meyer. We are also going to go to Disney World, the beach, and hopefully my Aunt Donna, Uncle Bill, and Cousin Amy. I havent seen them since Taylor was in a carrier. Anyway, we are excited to get there and have a great time with family!
We stopped at the Tanger Outlets in Terrell to buy me some new sunglasses, I had lost my wonderful Ralph ones. I’m still sad about it lol. But I did find some nice Armani Exchange ones that I like. They were not open when we first got there, so we went to eat a late breakfast/early lunch at Waffle House. It was yummy!
On the drive around Shreveport, we got tired of listening to music so we stopped at a Cracker Barrel to rent an audiobook. We didnt really know what to get and I was worried most of them would be too girly of a book, so we ended up getting the Da Vinci Code. It was boring at first, but when it started getting going it was much better! It really helped the time go by fast.
We stopped in Jackson, MS for dinner and let Taylor play at a McDonald’s play place for awhile to let her get some of her energy out. She has been doing such a great job on the whole trip! Anyways, we drove all day today and finally stopped in Pensacola, FL for the night.
Alright, well I should get some sleep. Night!
Oh my, paint
You would never believe the scene I walked in on today. My daughter was covered in face paint that she found – who knows where! She had it smeared all over the island, all over her clothes, everywhere!! All in a matter of minutes! So being the good mother that I am, I ran and got my camera!
Circus & Waterpark
I went ahead and bought tickets for the Barnum and Bailey Circus. Taylor had never been to one before. She had alot of fun, but had a little trouble staying in her seat lol. Afterwards, I took the boys and Taylor to the waterpark with Jamie & Randall. We had so much fun!
