Let's see...only 2 months behind on this one! Sorry folks, I am still here and doing well! At the end of Jan, beginning of Feb we took a fam trip to my favorite place on the planet...DISNEY WORLD!! I have long dreamed about this trip with my own children and it was pretty much everything I thought it would be :) (Although I didn't plan on being pregnant while there :)). We started the trip our Sat morning when our flight left STL around noon and flew us to Dallas. We had a 3 hour layover, which turned into 4+ hours because of delays. I couldn't believe how good the kids were!! We definitely had a few melt downs, but much better than expected.
We got in to Orlando after 9pm...so needless to say, it was right to bed! (After I unpacked all the suitcases...of course!)
We woke up bright and early the next day and started the trip!! Everyone was pretty excited about the day :)
Our morning routine down the stairs with daddy :)
Couldn't have worked out better to have Mainstreet USA doing a little number from Meet In St. Lois to welcome us to the Magic Kingdom!
And TA-DA!!
Swiss Family Robinson Tree-house :)
Waiting to meet our first character...BUZZ!
We watched lot of parades!!
Dinner at the Sci-Fi Diner..
On day 2 we woke up bright and early again so we could get to our reservations at 1900 Park Fare for a character breakfast! Grady's birthday is February 9, and since it was so close, we decided to do a little celebrating while we were there. He got a cupcake for breakfast!
Next we headed over to Epcot to go on the Nemo ride and boy did the kids love the Living Sea's! So much to do and explore!
When we finally left, we just walked around, took pics, met characters, and ate...of course :)
Grady found some trains :)
Next it was time for some relaxation by the pool!
Grady opted to just eat watermelon in his stroller :)
The next day we headed to Hollywood Studios to see the Disney Junior Live on Stage show! It did not disappoint!
As you can tell from the next few pics, this is when Gretch started to go down hill :( 102 fever and non stop coughing.
Passed out before dinner was served...
After a special delivery of Benedryl that night, we got a good nights sleep and were ready to go...fever-free...the next morning! We got up extra early to watch them open the gates at the Magic Kingdom!
We then rushed to get in line to meet Rapunzel. She is apparently a very popular princess right now so we were instructed to make that a priority first thing in the morning!
And then just checked out some other near by rides.
And thank goodness we were feeling better because today was the Bippidy Boppidy Boutique Day!! Any young princess who goes to Disney World...this is a MUST!!
Funnel Cake pit-stop...
The Boardwalk...
And back to the Living Sea's!
Meeting Mickey Mouse!
Our only day at the Animal Kingdom!
And back over to Epcot for dinner reservations....but first, a princess spotting!
Power nap at Innovations...
Super dad :)
The next morning we met Gretchen's very fav princess of all time...Ariel!
Couldn't leave without a souvenir...and one for the new baby :)
Goofballs!
And sadly we did finally have to pack up and say good bye to Disney :( It was quite an early morning (Dan and I up at about 3am)...but soooooooooooooo worth it!!
Baby #3...18 weeks :)
We had such a GREAT trip! Of course this is probably the longest post in the history of posts, but don't you worry, I still have a lot more pics than posted here! I can't wait until we can bring #3!!
