Is it Spring yet?

What we've been up to lately! The boys went into the hot tub in the rain the other night. I think Eric was hoping it would clean off the layers of dirt:-). We had a couple warm days were the kids wanted to get out the sprinkler, but for the most part this Spring has been very rainy. We've been out on the boat a couple times and the boys had fun swinging and playing in the sand. The picture of Alex eating the ice cream cone was taken at Linnie's in Delano. I recommend you check it out if you are in the area. The picture of Alex and I was taken at Mother's Day tea at preschool.

More Vacation Pictures!

At our resort they let the kids roast marshmallows around a campfire on the beach.  Their marshmallows got a little burnt and they were a little messy, but the kids didn't mess up their clothes before dinner.

I love this hot air balloon that gives rides at Downtown Disney.  We didn't go for a ride, but it is fun to watch it go up and down. 


Alex chilling by the pool after a long day of swimming.

Dave and Danielle and the girls live not far from Orlando, so they came by for a swim!  It was great to see them!


We had a nice fountain at our resort.


Tired boy!  Long and fun days!  Tuesday when it was time to come home he kept asking why we had to go home?  He always asks when he wakes up in the morning if it's "A Stay Home Day".  I'm not sure if vacation is a Stay Home Day..because you don't have to go to work or school, but you have fun!

We Love Water!

Check out the two boys with blue shirts and goggles under that big bucket!  This fun pirate ship was in the kiddie section of the pool and the kids had fun splashing in this area.  As the bucket got full a bell would ding to notify the kids that it was about to dump on them!  This was taken on Wednesday right after we arrived at the resort.   The boys changed right way so they could go to the pool.  The pool had two water slides the the kids swam nearly every day we were there.

More Vacation fun!

Magic Kingdom!

I had a work conference in Orlando and the boys flew down after I was done to visit Walt Disney World!  Alex was flying on an airplane for the first time.  They were very excited!

Entering the Magic Kingdom!

At Downtown Disney Alex loves to go to Legoland where they let you race vehicles!

Yeah Alex!


We had dinner at the Rainforest Cafe and sat with the Elephants one night and the Gorillas another night.  The boys loved the thunderstorm and when the animals got active.

Taking the Magical Motor coach to Magic Kingdom!

See the castle?  YIPPEE!

We had to ride the carousel.  No pig for Alex..Only horses on this one:-)


Crazy Driver Evan!  He loved the race cars!  

Misters keep you cool on a hot day!

Alex enjoyed the race cars too!


Waiting in line for the train!

We love each other!

Trains are the best!  This train does a loop around the park so it got us from place to place trying to use our fast passes to avoid waiting in lines.  Eric installed an app on his phone that indicated wait times which was also very helpful!

Multiple trains run at the same time, so we didn't have to wait long!

We had dinner at the Crystal Palace with Pooh, Tiger, Piglet and Eeyore!.  I think Alex is tickling piglet in the armpit:-)

We went to Epcot to see the fireworks one night!

Waiting in line for the Barnstormer!  This is Goofy's roller coaster and the boys really enjoyed it!  It is one of the newer rides at Magic Kingdom.

Hydrating!
