1st Day of 1st Grade

Our little man began his first day if school today as a 1st Grader:

One more picture from the Magic Kingdon

Orlando and Tampa

Here we are headed out on our first day at Disney World. It was 85 degrees and about the same humidity. But, yes, Jack has on a windbreaker. Sigh. 

Did I mention it was hot there?  Here was Lauren while we waited for the Frozen Parade with Anna and Elsa, her two favorite princesses. 

Lunch at The Brown Derby inside Hollywood Studios. The kids got glowing ice cubes in their soda!  Cool!  Mommy and Daddy got perfect Cobb salads and ice cold beer. 

On the carousel at Magic Kingdom during one of our daily thunderstorms. 

We kept them up late having so much fun every night. Here they are asleep on the bus heading back to the hotel. 

Family photo on the teacups :-)

This was the view from our hotel balcony. We stayed at the Animal Kingdom Lodge and had a view of the savannah with zebras, giraffes, antelope, water buffalo and many birds. Also a great way to watch the lightning storms every afternoon. 

Another day headed into the parks for fun. 

Rob and I loved Epcot!  We had beer in Canada, wine in Italy, champagne in France and sake in Japan. Here we are ducking under cover during a huge thunderstorm. 

The kids preferred jumping in the puddles and goofing around while the rain poured onto them. 

Princess lunch in Norway for Lauren. Her with Belle from Besity and the Beast. 

And Aurora from Sleeping Beauty. 

Ariel from The Little Mermaid. Great big hug :-)

Snow White even got a smile out of Jack. 

Selfie at Epcot. 

This was at the Children's Museum in Tampa. One of the best we've ever visited. 

Jack piloted a flight simulator. Mostly he crashed. Glad it was only a simulator. 

And our final day at Tampa Aquarium. 

Such a great trip!  But glad to be home. 

Back from Florida

Back from vacation. My week looked like this--

Lauren caught stomach flu on our last night there. Thankfully not during our fun time. As soon as she started feeling better, Jack got taken down. Rob has been my link to the outside world as I remain inside bleaching every surface and praying the plague passes Rob and me. 

All that time in the house helped me accomplish my big goal for the week-- I made nearly 100 cookies for Andria's baby shower. 

Jack lost a top, front tooth. The Tooth Fairy brought him 2 gold coins and a pack of gum. The one beside it is VERY loose and will probably fall out in a few days. His first grade photo will be adorable in September!!

I'll post a few vacation photos in a separate post.
