Amy and Rick join us in Florida


Kirsten and Dalton had a very pleasant surprise when they got to Florida - Aunt Amy and her friend Rick were there to join us for our Disneyworld vacation! The kids loved both Amy and Rick. We had a great time together.
Kirsten was glad to have more people to go on rides with her.

Dalton was happy to see Aunt Amy
It was easy to say goodbye to Amy because we had such a fun time, and we were going to see her again in ten days at Lisa's wedding.

Rick was tall enough to get Dalton in a picture with Rocket (from Little Einsteins).

Rick scored the most points in our group.

Disneyworld

We had a fabulous time at Disneyworld February 8-12th. We took a family trip down to Florida and spent one day at each of the Disneyworld parks. We enjoyed the warm weather and a break away from school and work. Dalton did not like to get his picture with the characters as much as Kirsten did at this age (of course, her pictures were with all the princesses), but he did like to ride the rides. His favorites were Dumbo and Pirates of the Carribean. Kirsten also liked the rides and roller coasters, especially if she had to go twice - once with each parent while the other waited with Dalton.

Does Dalton look happy to be at Disneyworld? He calls it "his" castle.

Both kids got to drive on the speedway.
