Florida 2008

Well...we made it back to good ole' snowy Indiana!! What a surprise to wake up on Sunday morning and see SNOW!! Honestly, we had a wonderful time in Florida, but I love snow and really don't mind this! If it's going to be cold...there had better be snow:)

Now onto Florida...Blare and I got to the resort on Friday and just relaxed and enjoyed ourselves for the rest of Friday and Saturday. On Sunday we decided to go to Disney World. We had a great time! Everything was beautifully decorated for Christmas and we got to enjoy the AMAZING fireworks display!!

On Monday morning we went to the airport to pick up Madison and the rest of my family. We just swam and played games for the rest of Monday. On Tuesday we all went to Epcot for the day. Madison's patience (and mine) was wearing thin during the middle of the afternoon, so we took her back for a nap and we got to lay out by the pool. We went back in the evening for another amazing fireworks show.

The rest of the week was pretty boring (aka relaxing) for us as we just swam, played games and ate:) My family went to Busch Gardens on Thursday...but we decided one long day was enough for Madison.

So onto some pictures...
Beautiful lights on the castle
Waiting for the fireworks
Madison in the shark on the Finding Nemo ride at Epcot. She loved this ride so my dad bought her a stuffed Nemo...and it hasn't left her sight yet. She loves it and has never even seen the movie:)
I think this picture explains itself:) Yes she is eating breakfast in front her "Jonah" movie. A day didn't go by that she didn't ask for "Jonah." We decided that this week we would have to have a "Jonah Fast"
Madison discovered this little hideout and stowed all of her toys in there for the week:)
Just having fun!
Madison found her swim suit drying on the jacuzzi, so she climbed in and tried to put it on:)She would ask to go swimming every morning as soon as she got up, so a few times we just filled the tub and that would satisfy her for a while.
But...nothing beat the real thing. I think if we would have let her, she would have stayed in the pool all day long.
We took a few family pictures while there, and Madison loved playing with Grandpa after it was all done:)
