Disney World 2012 Part 2

We stayed at Ft. Wilderness at Disney World. This was the best campground! They had horseback riding, a huge pool with dancing lifeguards, a beach with all kinds of boats, Chip and Dale campfire sing-a-longs with smores and a movie, biking and tons of other activities. Clete LOVED it and so did we! In our downtime we enjoyed the pool and shops. Here are a few pics!

Clete LOVED the bike MiMi and Pop got for him! He rode that thing all around our campsites!

Tripp enjoyed just hanging out!

Fathers Day Fun!

I have always helped the kids make Fathers Day gifts and cards. This year Fathers Day just so happened to to be a week after we returned from Disney World, so the day after we returned Clete and I began on this years project. Clete found 4 bricks and we set out to make them the most "sparkly" bricks possible. We decided to do hand prints for Daddy and Pop from Clete and Tripp. They turned out pretty cute and Tripp,of course, cooperated like a little angel! We spent Fathers Day weekend with MiMi, Pop and Granny at the lake. Me, MiMi and Granny went to the grocery store Saturday and bought everything that we needed for an awesome Fathers Day supper. After eating, Clete couldn't wait to give Daddy and Pop their presents, so Fathers Day came for them a day early! We are so fortunate to have them in our lives! Happy Fathers Day to the worlds 2 BEST Dads, we love you both more than you will ever know!!

Disney World 2012 Part 1

There are no words that can express the awesome time that we had at Disney World!!! The kids had the BEST time and so did Daddy and myself! It was a trip that we will ALL hold dear to our hearts! We stayed at Ft. Wilderness, which is part of the Disney World complex, in a 40 ft. motor home. The campground was great and Clete had a wonderful time just riding his bike with Jackson, Carson, Hamilton and kids that he met. This was a family vacation to celebrate Mimi and Pop's 40th Wedding Anniversary, Mimi and Pop pulled their camper and Tabatha, Trey, Aunt Cyndi and the boys were in their motor home. We really had a great time together!! I have to boast about our little Tripp a little bit, I think that we have the MOST AWESOME baby around! That sweet little thing was the best trooper! It took us 10 hours to get there and he did great, only cried when he was hungry or needed changing. Wherever we went he was the best little thing, it didn't matter where it was or what time it was! When he got sleepy, he just went to sleep in the stroller. He just sat in his little stroller watching all the people go by. He LOVED the Country Bear Jamboree! A lot of people asked me before we left how I thought he was going to do, I always told them that I thought he was going to do fine and I was right! He loved everything except for 1 thing: the characters! When we went to our 1st character dinner at Chef Mickey's, he had a major melt down when Pluto came and sat beside him!! Bless his little heart, he had the same reaction to all the characters there and at our character breakfast at the Animal Kingdom! As soon as they walked away though, he was back to being his precious little self! The only thing missing for us was Britt, he had just started summer semester at Southern Union and couldn't go. We really missed you Britt!! I took about 300 pictures so I'm gonna break up my post by theme park. Here are a few highlights from our 2 days at Magic Kingdom!
