Disney World

So this past weekend, Kendall and I had the privilege of turning a work conference he had scheduled down in Orlando into a mini-vacation/getaway complete with a few days at Disney World. Not a bad place to have  to do a little "work" if you asked me! =) Thankful once again that we have parents who are not only willing, but are eager to keep our two high-maintenance, high-energy, but oh-so-precious girls! It was a little harder to leave this time around because they came down with some nasty colds the morning Mommy was supposed to fly out. But Mimi told mommy not to worry, they had raised four kids just fine, and that they would take great care of our girls. She may have regretted that decision after their trip to the Urgent Care confirmed double ear infections, upper respiratory infections, pink eye, and a yeast infection. =( But alas, they all survived, the antibiotics worked wonders, and the girls were their happy selves before long! And while our girls were busy playing with Mimi and Grandpa + their uncle, aunts, and cousin, Mommy & Daddy were enjoying the magicalness (a new word in my book) of Disney!

First night: Dinner with my sweet Beth, who is now married and pregnant! Such a fun time catching up on life and all the ways God has been so good to our families!

Second night: touring the Wilderness & Animal Kingdom Lodge + Dinner at BOMA (part of Animal Kingdom lodge) which was fantastic & such a neat atmosphere!

Third Day: Epcot! We were able to ride all the rides and tour the World by mid-afternoon! Much easier without having two babies tagging along! =0)

Love our sweet girls, but thankful that our stroller was not a part of that picture!

Back at our place-Disney Yacht Club- Exhausted from all our walking!

Third night: Dinner at T-Rex-yes, my sweet husband is like a 5 year old and greatly enjoys the ambiance of such restaurants!

Fourth and final day: Animal Kingdom! This was our first time here and man were we impressed! We loved all the rides-the Kali River Rapids, Everest, & the Safari and we were thankful the lines weren't long at all!

The shows were fantastic and entertaining as well, especially A Bug's Life!

We had such a good time together being kids again! Our food was yummy but our time just as husband and wife was even better! Sure we missed our girls tons, just like we always do, but we are so so thankful for little getaways to be reminded that our marriage is our primary relationship here on earth! And the verdict is still out on whether or not our girls missed us with all the fun they had....=0)
