Walt Disney World

Oh how I wish I could show you all 815 pictures we took on this trip, but that would craziness and a complete waste of my time and yours.  There are many that i would love for you to see, but will limit myself here. 

We made the last minute decision to go to Orlando with Izzy before the busy, hot summer begins and before peanut graces us with her/his presence this Fall.  Miss Izzy is really into Mickey mouse and friends right now, so what a prefect time to go.  We stayed at the Gland Floridian, a place I have always wanted to stay.  It was wonderful...a nice vacation for us...so close to Magic Kingdom was one stop, literally 5 minutes, so made going back for naptime a breeze.  I was able to get some much needed "mommy time" during those 3 hour periods as well. 

Our 5 day/6 night trip started at Magic Kingdom, then Animal Kingdom, and Epcot and even an evening trip to Downtown Disney (thanks to my sister, I would never have discovered this wonderful place of shopping and Ghirardelli ice cream.)

So, let the picture sharing begin!

The Castle!!

Loving the Carousel

The Castle before the parade and pulling on Daddy's ears are fun

The Dumbo ride

Sleeping Beauty

Telling Cinderella her name

Assuming the picture taking position...for some reason it was a "pressed position."

All business with her page ready for Belle to sign.

Minnie and Mickey...very fun.  Minnie pointed out Izzy's hairbow and her dress with Minnie on it.

Her first roller coaster ride...she loved it!

Her first roller coaster ride "official card."

Seeing Pluto in the Spectrumagic parade

Waving to Mickey

Hm, who is coming next?

SNOW WHITE....ahhhh, my favorite!

Racing cars against Daddy...we won:)

Grand Floridian from the boat

First Character breakfast...Winnie the Pooh, Tigger, Piglet, and Eeyore

The Luau at the Polynesian Resort

Do not try this at home.

Walking back to the Grand Floridian from the Poly.

Animal Kingdom...not a lot of pictures here...but haven't we all seen animals before?

Aladin's carpet ride

Another Character breakfast.She had the best time and they brought her a cupcake to celebrate her birthday.

At the hotel...had to put this one up.  She looks like she is 5.

Fairies - Fawn, Tinker Bell, and Silvermist

We found Snow White on our last day...it was great and she was so happy to see her favorite princess.

Downtown Disney on our last night was a great way to end the vacation...and Izzy's first trip to Rainforest Cafe.

It's been too long...

Goodness, I can not believe it is almost June. Sorry to be so absent!  I guess we have been busy to say the least.  We are all good.  Izzy is keeping us entertained with singing, dancing, watching Snow White and Peter Pan over and over.  If you need to know the words to any of the songs, Chris and I have them covered.  We sing "Hi, Ho, Hi, Ho," to "We can Fly!" and Izzy's favorite, "Hook is a Codfish!"  And what is even better, I have them in my head at work.

With June fast approaching, Izzy's 3rd birthday is coming up.  She decide she'd like to have a Mickey Mouse and Friends party.  So, let the planning begin!

We also just got back from Orlando to see the Mouse and princesses, fairies, pooh, and many others.  Iz had a great time, and so did her parents.  Pictures to come later.

And, one other thing we have been busy thinking about and would like to announce is that baby #2 is on the way and due in November (after mid-term elections, of course.)  We are excited and so is Izzy.  She is pretty sure she has a baby in her tummy too.
The picture is a few weeks old and of poor quality, and I can't get blogger to accept a pdf file, so, just visualize with me a picture...peanut #2 is about 7cm long.
