Hello Disney!


Are you ready for picture overload?  We had such a great time on our first family get away.  Out of the four of us Tank behaved the best, for sure!  We have visited Disney World many times but this was the first time we've visited with kids.  Even though it definitely was a different experience, it felt even more special because the look on their faces was priceless.


Day 1 - Magic Kingdom


Here we go!

The toddler mobile was a life saver.  

Can you feel the excitement yet?

Our 1st Disney Family Portrait.


Tank laid back and enjoyed the show.


The "Move It, Shake It Parade" had great interaction.  






Someone enjoyed the Teacup ride x 2.



Tink kept switching ice cream cones with Daddy.  I guess they both tasted so good she couldn't make up her mind.  


This face of excitement melted my heart.


And so did this one.



Tink never knocks out before Tank and especially doesn't sleep through noises.  Until this day.

Day 2 - Hollywood Studios






Tank was not impressed by Stitch but was rather concerned. 





Tired and making silly faces.

Tink eating her popcorn, it's one of her major food groups at the moment.

It was a short and sweet trip that we wish lasted just a bit longer.  By far Magic Kingdom was best for kids their age.  There is so much do, we could of definitely gone back on Day 2 because you can never do it all in one day.  Disney truly is the most magical place in the world and they always make you feel that way.

TBT - Brazil 2010


In honor of Throw Back Thursday I thought this group of photos would be great.  It could also be that I am itching for a wonderful vacation like this again.  Our trip to Brazil has many wonderful memories and was a perfect babymoon before my daughter was born.  I was about 25 weeks pregnant during this trip.   We did some great sightseeing, ate some amazing food, and I ended up visiting the Brazilian emergency room because I got sick as dog.  No matter what, we had a trip of a lifetime and cannot wait to go back.  

Many thanks to our Brazilian friends that have become our extended family.  We truly enjoyed and learned so much during this wonderful trip.

It's not misspelled, in Portuguese it's spelled with an "s"

Right off the plane went straight to the ER.  Trip well worth it!
