Disney/Florida 2012

Aaron and Noel have some pretty awesome grandparents that took us all to Disney in Orlando, Florida last week.  It was such a fun time!  It was the first time Lee and I got to experience Disney with our own kids, and it was so fun to see it all through their eyes...

From Noel's perspective, it was all about seeing and meeting the princesses....  I don't know how, but she knows them all by name already.  Wow.  Good job on your marketing, Disney....  




 Her favorite princess remains to be Cinderella.  It was the first thing out of her mouth the morning we got up - "See Rella, Mommy?" She begged to meet her all day until we finally made our way to the castle.  It was so hilarious....  When we finally got to meet her, she was a bit starstruck and speechless. 

She still is talking about her....  So this almost two year old will definitely be having a very "Rella" focused birthday and Halloween costume.  

 For Aaron, it was all about getting a face painting....

....and the rides.  He rode on everything he could and never was intimidated.  We would ask him what he wanted to do next, and it was always, "I want to go on a ride!"  The one good thing that has come of Lee's bad knee was a fast pass to the front of lines as he sported a wheel chair for the weekend.




Small World - Aaron wasn't so thrilled with that....


It was so great for us and the kids to get to see Auntie Heidi and Uncle Spencer....



And Uncle Chad as well....

A few more random pictures of our two days (Magic Kingdom and Animal Kingdom)...






















After Disney, we got to spend the rest of the week hanging out with Gi Gi and Papa in Fort Myers, Florida.  It was nice to have that extra time with them.  We got to go out on the Gulf with some of their friends and their speedboat....





We got to see some dolphins swim up really close to the boat that afternoon.....  It was amazing!

We made it to the beach too...  The weather was perfect and the kids enjoyed the sand and water...

It was a really fun trip for all of us, and something we will always look back on with great memories.

I felt a sense of urgency to get these pictures up - We are going to be very busy these next few weeks, as tomorrow, we close on our new house and begin moving in!
