PICTURES SAY A THOUSAND WORDS!

So obviously we made it back from Disney and back to the normal chaos.  We had a great time!  Since we've been back we have had a lot of fun.  Terry and Raelynn had Daddy Daughter Date Night which is always a good time and Coop and I had our own date night.

Coop and Raelynn both had the last of their Basketball games and we are now moving on to Horse Riding and Baseball.

This week Chandler has spent the week with the kids over Spring Break.  We have tried to do their annual spring break surprises but Raelynn is getting to good and has figured them all out based on my very difficult hints.

We did have a great time with the CCF Float in the St. Patrick's Day Parade again this year.  We had an amazing family donate the float this year so it was even a little easier on us.

 All in all another fantastic month!

DAY 7-TYPHOON LAGOON

Today we headed out to the water park we missed out on the second day we were here due to weather. It was a crazy busy day because before we left we had to pack up and check all our bags. The water park was fun but swimming with sharks was not what Raelynn expected, pretty disappointing. I'm not sure what she expected but it definitely lacked the danger element for her. After the water park we headed back to the hotel to change and get on the bus back to the airport. Unbelievable our trip is over already. This vacation was definitely all about the kids and NO relaxing for the adults. The kids had a great time though and I was very proud of them both. Raelynn is scared of nothing and can talk to anyone. Sometimes I watch her in amazement. Coop feared much less than I thought he would and continues to be the more reserved and loving child!  I love our time together and as we head to the airport it makes me sad to know tomorrow they will return to school and I will unpack us and get ready to retur.n to out everyday lives. Even though we leave the magical land behind, I know our lives in general are truly full of magic!

DAY 6- MAGIC KINGDOM

Today we were back to Magic Kingdom and this time the weather was fabulous!!! Today or rather tonight I think I finally got that "Magical" feeling. Magic Kingdom at night is amazing. Raelynn expressed her appreciation to night and I just wanted to cry! It was wonderful. We ate at Be Our Guest and it was delicious, maybe even the best we had. 

 

Then we watched fireworks and rode more rides. Raelynn's favorite was the 7 Dwarfs Mine Train which was everyone's favorite except Coop who found it slightly scary. His favorite was Big Thunder Mountain!  It was an awesome day!

DAY 5- HOLLYWOOD STUDIOS

Today was a special day. We celebrated Andrea's 40th birthday!  We started the day but ticking her out of the room and decorating it. We surprised her when she returned. Then we opened gifts and headed to Hollywood Studios.

 The weather was much better and we had a lot of fun. There were more shows than rides which got a little boring for Coop but all in all a good day. Coop's favorite was the Indiana Jones Stunt Studio and Raelynn's was Tower of Terror!  

We went to Frozen the Sing-a-long that turned out to be more of a comedy show and was hilarious. I loved it!  

The kids all did Jedi training as well which the boys thought was pretty cool. All in all it was a good day. 

Tonight was another surprise for Andrea. We booked a Pirates and Pals cruise and it was awesome. We saw amazing fireworks, Wishes, out on the boat. It was a super fun but late night. 

After the Cruise the kids met Peter Pan and I think all agreed with Cooper, "He was awkward!"

We returned to the hotel with a Birthday Cake waiting. I think she enjoyed her birthday celebration!!

 

DAY 4-MAGIC KINGDOM

Today was our first day at Magic Kingdom and I am not sure what to say about it. It was slightly miserable. It rained all day and it was cold and well if you know me you know that is miserable to me. We did have some good laughs and had some fun rides. The kids loved Splash Mountain!
