Final days of Florida...DISNEYWORLD!

I can't believe our trip is already over! We arrived back in cold Seattle late Wednesday night but not before spending 2 amazing days at the "Happiest Place On Earth"....DISNEYWORLD! Everyone had such a great time and we were so sad to leave that we've already started planning our next trip back! These are just a few of the great pictures we took from the beach and Disneyworld...

At the beach...it wasn't the nicest day but it was still warm!

Sadie, Cooper and cousin Cailin

FINALLY ... we made it to Disneyworld!

Yes...it was crowded. Very crowded.

The first encounter with Minnie Mouse and the man himself...Walt Disney!

Sadie was SO happy and excited to finally get a chance to meet a real princess!

Come on guys...this way to Mickey's house

After waiting 45 minutes in line to meet the princesses,

Sadie wanted nothing to do with them at first.

She is definitely my shy little girls.

As we moved on to the next princess, Cinderella, she warmed up a bit.

Belle must have been her favorite because she finally cracked a smile!

but of course, cotton candy solves everything!

and so does a ride on the teacups with the Daddy's!

Flying with Dumbo was SO much fun ... even though we did have to wait in line for an hour!

The day wouldn't be complete without a ride (by the adults only) on Splash Mountain.

That is, everyone but me of course. I hate roller coasters!

Yes...that's Curtis, Lisa and Clint .... DUCKING!

The family, finally getting ready to call it a day.

Fun but so exhausting!

Flordia continued...

Its day 7 of our Florida trip and I can't believe we have been here a week already. It feels like just yesterday we step foot off the plane into the warm sunshine. Now we only have 3 days left ... but those will be the best 3 days because Tuesday morning its off to...DISNEYWORLD! The kids are beside themselves with excitement so we've been trying to keep them busy until the big day. Lots of swimming, swim lessons and boating on Uncle Clint and Auntie Lisa's BIG boat and their LITTLE boat (both are big to me!) Its been so much fun!

Sadie's swim lesson #2 with Ms. Donna

Sadie's swim lesson #2 ... she is getting so good!

Coop has met his match with cousin Ashlyn!

Sadie' LOVED driving the little boat

Coop just LOVED napping on the little boat.

Maybe we should get one so he will nap on a regular basis again?

So cozy comfy but missing all the fun!

Coop driving the "BIG" boat.

Its a beautiful boat and we had such a fun day out

on it cruising through the inter coastal.

The BIG boat has a full size jet ski on the back of it and

Coop actually wanted to get on...but not go for a ride.

Cailin, Sadie and Coop on the jet ski (its on the platform

on the back of the boat...not actually in the water)

Sadie giving Mommy a great big Coop Kiss!

Sadie and Coop on the BIG boat ... they had so much fun!


After a long hard day of playing in the sun,

Sadie and Coop realized that they actually DO like each other...sometimes!

Fun in the Florida sun!

After a LONG day of traveling, we finally made it to the beautiful state of Florida to visit our cousins Cailin and Ashlyn. Both Sadie and Coop were Rock Stars on the plane with only minor meltdowns (no repeat of the Hawaii trip thank goodness!) Now its lazy days of swimming and sunning for 10 whole days. Ahhhhhhhh.......

WE MADE IT!!

Now can I get in the pool?

Coop has definitely met his match in little Miss Ashlyn

Both Sadie and Coop got to join in on Cailin and Ashlyn's swim lessons at their
backyard pool. Coop was a little shy with Ms. Donna at first but did great!

Sadie and Ms. Donna hit it off great and she was swimming

with her head under water in no time!

Before going out on the boat, Coop took a little cat nap.

Mommy wishes she could too!

Turkey burgers on the green egg smoker. Yummy!
