Disney World Characters

I have honestly lost count of how many times we have been to the happiest place on earth. We feel so lucky to be so close to Disney World and to be able to go just about as often as we want. The girls really love it! Here are some photos of us (mainly Katie) meeting some of her favorite characters!

I just have to comment on this picture!  Annie is not always sure about being placed next to these characters for a picture and you can definitely see what she is thinking in this picture with Winne the Pooh! hahaha

Grandma and Grandpa visit...March 2011

I am so happy Grandma and Grandpa got to come and play with us! Grandma and Grandpa went on a cruise and then they got to come and spend some time with us.  We did a lot! We went to the beach, zoo, children's museum, and Disney World! I sure loved having my parents here and I know the girls loved having Grandma and Grandpa to play with.  I wish they could have stayed even longer but I am thankful for the time we did have.

We played on the beach!

Destin Florida April 2011

We went to Destin because Stephen had an Anesthesia conference he had to go to so the kids and I tagged along! We had so much fun! Honestly one of the best vacations ever! If you ever get the chance to go to Destin Florida you should! We stayed in one of these resort areas where they had the beach and everything else you could ever need within biking distance. It was a definite bike town and we rode around everywhere (even though I was incredibly worried about riding around with Annie being so little..I did make her wear a helmet!)and it was so much fun! We played on the soft sandy white beaches and had a blast! One of the nights we had horrible thunder and lightning and tornado warnings while the rest of my family slept through it all I stayed awake praying we would survive! Other than that it was the best vacation spot ever and I really hope we get to go again to Destin!

Coco Beach 2011










Sometime earlier this year (maybe March?)we went to Coco beach for a weekend. Stephen and I decided we won't be in Florida for very long so we should see some sights. We had a wonderful time playing in the Atlantic Ocean. Katie and Annie both love the beach. Annie was just walking and so she seemed to prefer crawling on the unfamiliar turf. We took walks on the beach and simply enjoyed the time together. We found an amazing beach where we were practically alone with so much space to play. It was such a great little vacation and one that (even though it is so late) I didn't want to forget about!
