Two Blizzards, Mickey Mouse & Some Germs...

...That about sums up the past week and a half for us. Here's the longer version. The kids and I made it out of VA last Friday morning at 10:10. All flights were canceled at noon and our area got a grand total of 34 inched of snow on Friday and Saturday! We weren't too sad to miss it, since we had already witnessed two feet of snow back on December 19. We were tired of being inside and thankful to be in not warm, but warmer Florida. We had a smooth flight and the kids did very well for me in the airport and on the plane, thankfully. Friday night we took the kids on a ferry boat from our hotel and went to Downtown Disney to eat at T-Rex again. The kids had still been talking about it from last year's trip. The food is average, but the kids love all the moving dinos and meteor showers, etc. Saturday, we headed to Magic Kingdom and had a great day. Sunday, we went to Hollywood Studios for some more fun. About an hour after the kids were asleep Sunday night, we heard the horrible sound of Will throwing up in his pack 'n' play. Nightmares started running through my head of the terrible stomach bug we all had two years ago. I thought the rest of out trip would be spent with all four of us stuck in the hotel room with trash cans nearby. I am thankful that it didn't turn out that way. Will only had that one sick episode and slept the rest of the night. The next day, Rob & Aubrey went back to magic kingdom and I did stay home and rest with Will. He was jumping from bed to bed and acting like himself, but I tend to be on the cautious side when my kids are sick. Tuesday we all four went to Epcot and enjoyed doing lots of different things than we did there on our last trip. Tuesday night though, Aubrey and Robert came down with the "extra magic stomach bug" as Aubrey referred to it. By this point, we had already heard that our flight home was canceled the next day, due to yet another blizzard! I was actually glad it was canceled so that Rob and Aubrey could take a day off on Wednesday and not have to fly while they were sick. Again, the stomach bug was short lived and I was able to avoid getting it. Thursday, everyone was well and we went back to for our last day at Disney. We were able to use all five days of our tickets with the flight cancellation, so it all worked out fine in the end. The other nice thing about the timing is that Aubrey didn't miss any preschool, we didn't miss any church and Robert didn't miss much work since the whole area was closed down the entire time we were away. We got back on Friday night and our driveway looked like it had two walls of snow on either side from all the shoveled snow. We had a good vacation despite the extra magic germs, but we're glad to be home. Here are just a few of the hundreds of pics we took. I'll post more soon...
Our last night at Disney right before the fireworks. You might notice a theme of Will either looking sideways or completely away from the camera in all the pictures. The camera was not his friend on the trip. This was the best we got.

A little game of peek a boo in line. Will was being silly and wearing the strap to his mouse ears across his nose.

Aladdin's flying carpet ride.

Will is actually smiling here becasue I caught this candid picture of him watching the afternoon parade at Magic Kingdom.

It's a Small World... Will looking away.

A little more line-waiting antics.
