Off to Florida







This is what we left last week so we could soak up some Florida sun shine. This is a bit of the snow we got a couple days before we left. Sunday morning we had a good foot of snow on the ground and we were worried that we wouldn't be flying out. But we took off, an hour or so late, but we were in the air.

Victor would hide everywhere. Trying to scare or trip people, by the second day Ana joined in so we had to ban then from ducking and hiding. Luckily we never lost anyone... well we lost Tanya twice but found her within 10 minutes or so, so not too lost just doing her own thing. Monday we went to Disney World! It was sooo packed, even the locals were telling us they hadn't seen it so crowded. Here we are waiting to take the ferry over.









Pluto was the favorite character by far

The girls loved that the castle changed colors, here it is pink




Ana really wanted a balloon but didn't want one once we told her she couldn't take it home on the plane with her. Whew, 10$ for a balloon just doesn't seem like a good deal

We headed back to the house for dinner and swimming and then a few of us returned to ride a couple more rides, we had 9 pm fast passes for space mountain. I couldn't refuse a ride on space mountain...

these were to document that grandma rode a ride in Disney World! Couldn't talk her into a second round

Happy 14 Tanya

Tanya turned 14. She wanted to go to build a bear, so sweet Troy took her and some neighborhood friends to build a bear and a movie while I packed for Florida last weekend. She had a wonderful time!


















Ethan and Ana Science Day

Ethan and Ana had science/Greek days a couple weeks ago. They each made a volcano to explode and then in class they dressed in togas ate yummy food like the Greeks and then made the Coliseum out of frosting and sugar cubes. I missed the morning activities. Fun day.
