Kevin and I have put a lot of thought in to raising our kids and wanting to make sure as they get older they remember they had our love and support. It is scary raising kids these days....do you let them go to school, the movies, to a friends house? How do we make sure our beautiful little girl does not get caught up in all the girl drama that starts way to early?? We have decided for us family time is what is going to do all of that!! We have decided we don't need a bigger house or more things we would much rather save our money to travel. Our kids love to travel....they like hotels, restaurants, and all the new places we get to explore and discover. So the next 3 posts will be about 3 of the trips we have taken since last November 1. Disney-best trip EVER and I am hoping we can save enough to take them again 2. Greenville, SC (fun, fun, fun city to just hang out for a night or two) 3. St. Augustine, FL (Patrick cried when we had to leave)
Disney November 2012- I took the kids out of school early one day and we told them we were headed to my parents lake house in TN. At about hour 5 they started asking us what was taking so long....then about 10pm we got there and they were so excited once they realized where we were. It was truly my favorite trip yet with the kids. The look of excitement and amazement as they took everything in was so much fun. Kevin and I had not been that excited about the trip due to how expensive it was but ended up wishing we could have stayed a couple more days. We ended up staying 5 nights/ 4 full days. We spend 2 nights at Magic Kingdom and the other 2 days playing at the pools. Everything Disney does is 1st class and I am so excited we stayed onsite. It truly made the whole trip for us. The kids were great and for the most part did not mind standing in line.
Our first day and the kids could not believe they got to meet Mickey!!
I am not sure where our kids got it but they both love anything fast. Ireland is a mess and wanted to ride Space Mountain until Kevin could not go anymore:)
They loved meeting Minnie but were not happy Daisy did not make an appearance!
Love the smiles they had them on almost the entire time!
Waiting to eat dinner with Cinderella!
They were not sure what to think of the Evil Stepmother!
We had surprised Ireland and brought her a dress with us!
Patrick was thinking this was pretty cool!
After dinner we were able to watch the fire works and water boat parade!
We had breakfast one morning with Lilo and Stitch (we had no idea who they were)
See the smiles again:)
At night we would walk around the resort and they always wanted to take pictures by the fountains that changed colors!
She is such a ham!!
As I said we really hope we can save up enough money to go back with them one day soon!! We had so much fun with just the 4 of us and seeing something new!! I will try to post soon about our Greenville and St. Augustine trips!!
