Florida part 2





At the end of the day there was a parade. It was a light parade, and Calvin loved it. There was music and tons of lights for him to look at. Hannah...slept through the whole thing. And then refused to believe us the next day when we told her about the parade!! We were pretty impressed with how Hannah did (and Calvin too). We were in the park for 14 hours plus travel to and from the park. She stayed awake the whole day until about 930pm. She pretty much passed out and there was NO waking her. She was so tired that the fireworks at 9pm scared her and she started screaming. It was kinda funny, but we knew she was tired. I wanted to take a photo, but I think that would have been mean. So here is the photo of her as we were leaving.






Here is Sarah and Hannah waiting for Dan to get our corn dogs. While we waited there was a show. One of the characters came up and gave Calvin a kiss, and bonked me on the head with his ears!!




Dan does NOT ride the tea cups...they make him sick!
Magic Kingdom has this program called fast pass, and you can scan your tickets and then come back later on in the day and not have to wait in line. It is really nice for families with babies. We didn't have to wait in line at all the whole day.


Calvin did amazing the whole day too. He stayed in his stroller most of the time, and when he was fussy we took turns holding him. His favorite thing was the Tikki Bird show!!!! It was this crazy show with Tikki Birds and the Tikki gods were trying to take over their island ect....Very weird and not biblical at all. But he loved it!! He stood on Sarah's lap and clapped his hands and waved them and bounced and laughed like we have never seen him do before. Everyone around us was watching him and not the show.

Our trip to Florida was awesome!! We started out driving at 5am on Thursday and arrived in Orlando around 11pm. We were stopped for over 2 hours in Nashville for a wreck, and we had a nice lunch in Atlanta. It rained the whole day, which made for not a pleasant drive. But finally we arrived at our hotel. We weren't sure if Hannah would sleep or not, but she did. Early the next morning we woke up and met up with our really good friends Josh and Cari and had breakfast with them at McD's. Then we all headed over to Disney. We were among the first to arrive at the park. Our parking spots were right by the gate!! (2nd row if I remember correctly) After the bought their tickets we boarded the tram and headed to the island that Magic Kingdom in on. We met up with my friend from college who works there and hung out with her for a few hours. Her and her boyfriend were able to give us the inside scoop so we could have an even better day than planned.



My sister Sarah went with us!












More to come later...

The grand Finale


This is it!! No more jumbo blue helmet. I had been wanting to take Calvin's picture at the skate park all winter. I was waiting until he could sit up well, and the weather would cooperate. But I made the mistake of going during the day while everyone was at school. So there aren't any cool skater punks in the back ground or anything...








LOVE the chubby cheeks!

Happy St. Patricks Day!



Today is very nice out!! We were able to go to story hour and then play outside after lunch before rest time. Hannah is loving St. Patrick's Day. She was out of bed this morning at a record early time and in green!! As we were driving she would point out people along the way who were not wearing green. She was also able to pinch Calvin and Dan before they got dressed.





Calvin LOVES to swing!!






Why are my kids so retarded looking in this picture!!! (above) I can't stop laughing when I look at it. I know I should delete it, but it really brings a smile to my face. Neither one of them enjoy me taking their pictures AT ALL!



Happy St. Patrick's Day!!
