First trip in new camper, well new to us....

The kids love to go camping, it is especially nice now that we have a little more room since we upgraded campers. Aunt Jamies loves to spoil the kids with glow in the dark bracelets and necklaces.


We tried to teach the kids how to make S'mores, but they were more interested in the chocolate then the "sandwich" Ethan called it.


Overall, it was a great camping trip, looking forward to many more!

The Witches of Baywind



Today the twins decided to be witches and fly around the house. They quickly told me that they were good witches though and they weren't going to hurt me.

Checking Out the Playground

Today we took the kids a local playground. All of the kids had a blast but it was HOT,HOT,HOT! We did last long before all the kids were soaked with sweat and had drank all of their juice.





We packed up and hit the Walmart across the street to grab some stuff and cool off before heading back to Aunt Chris & Uncle Roger's house.

Cousins Forever



Today we got up and headed over to Fort Wilderness to have breakfast at the Trails End. It is a family favorite that definitely brought back some great family vacations we shared with my Aunt Chris, Uncle Roger and cousins Sammy and Jon. Ethan rocked it out with a mickey mouse waffle and two GIANT helpings of bacon!






After breakfast the boys hit the playground. Matt and Ethan had a blast together and even started learning each other's names.




By nightfall, back at my Aunt Chris and Uncle Roger's, Elaine and Katelyn were besties and loving having another girl to hang with!

A Day at Disney with Family

This morning we left Aunt Chris' and headed down to Disney for a one night stay. My cousin Sammy's wife, Erin and their two kids Matt and Katelyn met up with us. It was a great time. We got to the hotel and crazy enough Erin and the kids were there just a few minutes after us. They had our rooms ready which was great.

At first the kids were a little shy with each other but it wasn't long until they were best friends and running around with each other! Elaine and Katelyn couldn't get enough of each other. Ethan adored Matt and Matt adored Jacob. We hit the pool for a bit, had lunch and then headed to Downtown Disney. The kids got to ride the carousel and then they all got a toy from the toy store. After that we all walked around the shops and then headed to T-Rex for dinner.

After dinner we headed back to the hotel to swim but right when we were walking to our rooms a lighting storm started and the pools closed down. It was fine though because the kids had a blast running around and playing with their new toys. By bedtime they were exhausted and so were the adults! So excited they got to meet each other and quickly became friends.

Swimming Daredevils

Today was our first day visiting my Aunt Chris and Uncle Roger. We got in last night and the twins were ready to hit the pool asap. It took Ethan a few minutes to let go but Elaine was ready to go on her own right away.







Within an hour they were daredevils and loving every minute of it!
