Flip n' Float

Since we've been sunning ourselves in Hawaii for the past few years, we have missed all the flipping, floating, and bonding that is FLIP n' FLOAT. All the cousins had a great time playing together. It's so fun to watch our families grow. All these little people are really fun to play with.

Andrew and Cameron were inseparable.

All smiles on a ride with Papa Gus.

Mary Mac the marshmallow

Papa Gus and Daddy found their silver baby cups and decided to use them for old times sake. Pretty sure Gran just wanted to take a picture, but this silly video ensued.

Family Reunion in Chix Beach

We had a big family shindig at the Chix Beach house so the cousins could bond. Six cousins under age 5 is a recipe for big fun.

more DISNEY...

Some snuggles with Minnie Mouse...

Dinner with Pooh and Friends was one of the most memorable nights. Lucy adored Piglet, and Piglet was equally as smitten. We can't wait to go back when Lucy is 4.
Thanks for the memories!

WALT DISNEY WORLD

Disney was truly the experience of a lifetime. We had a magical three days exploring the Magic Kingdom and Epcot. There are too many highlights, but some of our favorite things were meeting Woody and Jessie, riding Dumbo, and the Country Bear Jamboree.

The very first ride was DUMBO. When we walked through Cinderella's castle, Andrew saw Dumbo and screamed, "PAPA, there HE is!!! I see DUMBO!!" The tears were flowing to see the pure joy in his face. Each day was better and better. Four is the perfect age to do Disney. It was pure magic.

Onward to the Mad Hatter's Tea Party.
Not sure whether Andrew or Grandma had more fun.

Lucy found her voice during the Country Bear Jamboree. When the bears started singing, Lucy sang along with them-- loudly. Big Al was the same silly bear that he was when I went to Disney as a kid, and Andrew loved it.

Andrew rode the Big Thunder Mountain railroad about 5 times. Daddy and Andrew even rode in the very front car. So brave.

One of the sweetest moments was meeting Woody and Jessie. They were so amazing and even came over to meet Lucy in her stroller. Andrew was absolutely smitten with Jessie.

My sweet boy.

Where is Buzz Lightyear when you need him?
Zurg put us in jail!

Still happy after several full days of excitement!

Hilton Head

En route to the happiest place on Earth, we stopped in Hilton Head for some R&R. We found this little guy lurking around Grandma and Papa's swamp. He was watching us play on the playground. He must have thought he saw a nice snack.

St. Pat's & Passover

Happy smiley girl is getting faster at crawling and loving her exersaucer.

This is Lucy's baby push up. I finally got a picture. She's probably the only 7 month old that is concerned with physical fitness.

Check out Andrew's frog hat that he made for the Passover seder. It was a nice school seder and Andrew was able to ask the children's questions. He particularly enjoyed eating and drinking while leaning.
