Vacation Posts

Day 2 - June 5 - Sunday

My morning started early...again...thanks to my sweet little girl. The house we stayed in had a crib in the master bedroom. Charis got to sleep in a crib for the first time ever! Ever since she was born she's slept in a pack-n-play. So we got the nicest bedroom of the house by default. (We offered the bedroom to whoever would let Charis sleep in their room....no one took us up on that offer!) So she woke me up bright and early. But Charis' other girl cousins were already up and playing out in the living room. Grammy was already up. And Uncle Clark was already up! So I sent Charis walking out our bedroom door carrying a diaper, and I went straight back to bed! I think Ian and I slept until about 10 that first morning. We were both so exhausted.

The kids were in their bathing suits in no time, and they had a blast swimming in the pool in our backyard! Graysan, my oldest niece, stayed in the pool, literally, all day long. She got out long enough to eat lunch and supper!

After supper, we all headed to Downtown Disney. I think we got there around 8, and the Moody's finally called it quits at 10:45! We had a blast, despite how crowded it was! Cayman and Charis both were thrilled to see a huge dinosaur as soon as we walked up. We walked through the T-Rex restaurant, and I seriously don't think I have ever seen quite like it! It was absolutely amazing to see a restaurant like that. Cayman couldn't keep his mouth closed - he just stared at everything with his jaw on the floor the whole time.

Then we walked to the huge Lego store - Cayman saw two of his favorite characters made completely out of Legos...Buzz and Woody. Very neat store!

Of course we had to try out the train and carousel while we were there!

We all crashed once we got back home!


This boy loves posing for pictures!


Pure joy on this boy's face!


Cayman, Woody, and Harper ( I love how Harper is holding Woody's hand...)

Cayman's Dream Toy! We refused to pay $120 for it though. Sorry, dude!

Woolly Mammoth that moved and....made the noise that Woolly Mammoths make!



Dragon in the lake made completely out of legos

Graysan and Cinderella...or whatever princess that is! (Can you tell my daughter isn't old enough for Disney princesses, yet?)

She does like stuffed animals...including mice!



Tokens for the train!

Mr. Potato Head!

Cayman got to smash a penny

"Monies!!!" Of course he had to put his monies (1 penny) in his pocket


"Uncle" Roy - my brother's Scott best friend since childhood...practically a brother to us all!


Tokens for the carousel! (Charis got to ride too...but she hated it...)

Wow! That was a lot of pictures! More posts coming tomorrow... :)
