Family Vacation 2013

We spent a week in Orlando and went to the Magic Kingdom for 2 days and Hollywood Studios for 1 day. To say we had a blast is an understatement!  Papa and Nana joined us and blessed us with the use of their timeshare. We couldn't of done this trip without them.  With so many little ones it was nice to have 2 extra set of hands!

Over all, the park days went great!  Sure there were a few meltdowns from being tired (even from me!)  but really everything went very well!

The first day we went to the Magic Kingdom and stayed through the parade.  The Magic Kingdom is truly magical to me!  And so awesome to see the aww and wonder in my kids eyes!  I made a separate album of our whole trip.  So I only added a few of the highlights here.  I truly enjoyed every second so to pick an all time favorite is impossible for me.  We had a list of things that each of us wanted to do and were able to achieve all of them!  Sometimes twice :)  That is one of my favorite things about homeschooling is we chose to go during the "off season."  So there wasn't as big of lines and crowds.  And the fastpass... who ever invented that is a genius!











Papa and Nana surprised us and treated us to lunch with Winnie the Pooh and Friends.  It was so cute!  I think Jackson enjoyed this the most!



                                    On our last night we went to Downtown Disney and ate at the Rainforest Cafe.






                             The timeshare had great pools!  We had so much fun and took this opportunity to teach the girls to swim.  We don't go swimming that often so they haven't been comfortable with the arm floats holding them up in the water.  We accomplished that this trip!  Payton was our "dolphin girl".  She really took off and had no fear of the water.  Taylor and Addison did really well too.  Now to learn with no arm bands!
