Day 2- Animal Kingdom

It has taken me a week to do this so I'm just posting picks in no particular order.

This was the coolest playground located in Animal Kingdom in the Dinosaur area. There was also a dig site but we were hot and sweaty and just didn't think that was a good combo for sand. Addison and I hung out here for a while waiting on the others to finish a ride. My kids loved the playgrounds just as much as the other stuff. They are so funny!

This was Expedition Everest. My dad, Logan and I rode this and had a blast.
We couldn't get E or my mom on it.


Eric was the official photographer...He stole mom's camera when ours died.


Daddy and sweet cuddly girl!

This is when we knew it was time to head home.

My mom and dad!

Mommy and Logan at Rainforest Cafe!

Addison did not enjoy the noise...you'll see her covering her ears a lot.

Here we are about to ride Expedition Everest again!

It's a Bug's Life was a cute 3-D movie...Logan with his $17 fan (it was worth it)

The Safari was incredible!

Animal Kingdom was by far my favorite park!!!!!

Who Cares?

So we were driving down the highway system to Disney...which is nicer than the highways in Arkansas...go figure...and I decided to ask a question.

Me: Who pays for these roads...The state of FLORIDA OR DISNEY?


4 yr old in Back Seat: WHO CARES?


That ended that conversation because we were laughing so hard!

Are we There Yet?





Wow!!! What a day we have had. It started about 7:15 this morning when we headed to Little Rock to meet my parents. We then headed to Memphis to catch our flight…you all may think we are crazy to drive to Memphis to catch our flight but it was well worth it having a non-stop flight with 2 kids.

I don’t know how many times we heard…when are we going to be there?

When are we getting on the plane?

When will we be in Florida?

We ate lunch at the airport and finally were able to board the plane….the kids were super excited…they have never flown and I was super excited to see their reaction…It was priceless!

We arrived in Orlando and picked up our LUXURIOUS rental car…hehe…at least we won’t be able to miss it in the parking lot it’s BURNT ORANGE if you can’t tell from the picture.

Our resort is great…it’s even better when we figured out how close we are to Disney. We could stay here and never leave the resort except to get food. It has so really neat amenities I’m sure I’ll get to sometime this week.

We went to Wal-Mart to pick up breakfast, snacks, water, stroller, etc. Oh my goodness….I’m so glad I live in a small town…this was Wal-Mart gone mad….but I do know where to go to get cheap Disney souvenirs.

I’m off to hit the sack…looks like we are getting up early to work out….I can’t let vacation get me out of wack.

Logan thinks we are already at Disney…boy is he going to be surprised…Tomorrow we are off to the MAGIC KINGDOM.

Nashville Day 2 & 3

I got to sleep in...late...10:40. I probably would have slept later if it wasn't for Amber's text asking if I was up. We got up and went down for breakfast. I will say I got my money's worth at the buffet...my plate was full of eggs, bacon, hashbrown and more eggs. I could eat eggs with every meal.

We then decided to go to downtown Nashville since CMA Fest was going on. We saw some interesting things including this guy...



Notice the tent behind Kirk and Wes...




We also decided to stop at Panera's...I so wish I would have gotten something to eat but after eating my buffet breakfast I just couldn't go there.

We headed back to the hotel to get ready for the wedding. (The whole point in the trip). The bride was beautiful and the groom was pretty spiffy himself.





Our guys looked pretty good themselves.





We even got to dance...we don't get to do that very often!


We then headed back to Nashville, changed again and went down to see about getting a cab. There weren't any cabs but we could get a limo for $10 more...who wouldn't take the limo. It was fun. I haven't been in a limo since Senior Prom. Our poor limo driver...I hope we didn't traumatize him too much.

We headed to the Wild Horse and listened to some good music...did the YMCA and had a great time!

Day 3---Pretty much boring. We dropped Amber and Kirk off at the airport for their Super Fun rest of the week as we headed back home. Amber and Kirk we have decided are the life of the party!

Can't wait for our next couples trip!

Music City Fun! Day 1

So if you remember from our Branson trip, Amber beat me to the punch blogging about it so I just linked to her. So here it is... OUR TRIP DAY 1 by Amber.

My commentary...

Loads and Loads and Loads of Fun!!!! I don't think I have heard the hubby laugh so much in a long time!

Emerson Drive is HOT!!!! Collin Raye's guitarist is HOT!!!! There is just something about Cowboys!!! Was disappointed that Diamond Rio didn't show!

The Aquarium had the most awesome steak and mashed potatoes!

We were driving around looking for someplace and found the "Florist and Casket Shop". It's a all in one stop. We didn't think of taking a pic until after the fact and the men folks wouldn't turn around and take us back just for a picture.

Learned a lot and learned a lot more about our PEEPS...FO SHIZZLE!

Hold on just a minute.....

OK I'm back .... in less than 2 minutes.... give me a high five on that one!

Heart you Amber and Lisa and men! Had a blast!
