Tuesday, Wednesday, Thursday and Friday.

Rain, again......followed by a cold front!!! We woke up to clouds today. Sarah, Kylie and Pam and I went shopping at the local shops in the morning. We went to Tortilla Bay for lunch! So good. We headed back to the condo and hung out there for a while. The rain came in the afternoon for the rest of the day! Mom and dad went to the outlet mall for the afternoon. Jeremy and I headed to Five Guys hamburger joint for our Date night. It wasn't all that glamorous but we had a nice dinner. Thanks to mom and dad for watching the kids. They had tacos at home that Pam made for everyone. Tuesday night was also Nick and Sarah's "date night" they headed to the outlet mall too. She picked up some flip flops for me that are soooo cute!!! The cousins all headed over to their house to hang out after the kids went to bed. Wednesday was a cold morning. Jeremy and I went for breakfast at the Gulf Drive Cafe. My dad took all the boys away for breakfast to the public beach for pancakes and then they rode the swings for a while. My mom took Haylie to the hardware store with Gayle and the Chloe, Hannah, and Annalyse to get some pin things that they wanted. In the afternoon we sat by the pool for a while but it warmed up quite a bit so we heaeded down to the beach around 2pm for a couple of hours. Wednesday evenig was Sophia's 3rd birthday party!!! It was Dora themed and so much fun. Sarah did a great job with the decor and activities. The kids had a blast. We headed down to the beach for a sunset watching party it was beautiful. Thursday Kylie, mom, Gayle, Haylie and I went to Jennie and Jane's for a muffin for breakfast. We headed back to the condo and got ready for the beach. We were there all day! We had plans for dinner in the evening at Moore's Stonecrab. Before that we had a little photo shoot on the beach. All the girls had matching outfits from Plum Paisley and the boys coordinated with them. They were sooo cute!!! Two Scoops ended the evening!! Friday was our last day on the beach. We spent all day there!! We wanted to make the most of it. We decided to come up at 5 pm and start packing the car. Jeff and Kylie headed out of town, heading for home around 7pm. They plan to go through the night. Jeremy and I took the kids to a souvenir shop to get a little something before we headed out too. They all got a little shark tooth necklace, Haylie's had little shells on it in the shape of a flower. On the way back we stopped at Tortilla Bay again for dinner. It was so good the first time, we had to go back. We got back to the condo and finished packing for our early morning departure. 4 am is when we plan to leave!!! Ugh....... See you on the flip side!!!!

Monday

Another beautiful day on the beach. The wind was whipping today but that was good b/c it was a HOT HOT HOT day! I think the news said it got up to 85 degrees today. The men went fishing this morning in the Gulf and caught one grouper that Nick and Jeremy at for dinner. When the men got home us women went to the Sandbar for lunch. It was a beautiful lunch sitting with our feet in the sand. It gave new meaning to lunching on the beach. Love it. We were there until about 3pm and headed back to the kids and men. I spent about another hour on the beach and headed up to the pool so Hunter could swim for a little bit. Haylie had gone up earlier with my dad and Chloe and Hannah. Noah stayed down with Darren and Allison for a few minutes to swim in the waves. Jeremy took the car into the station b.c we have yet another weird noise going on. He is taking it back tomorrow to get it fixed. I say we leave it here and buy a new one to take home, that idea isn't going over so well. In the evening we didn't do a whole lot. I wasn't hungry for dinner b/c we had lunch so late so we headed over to Nick and Sarah's for a little while. Jeff and Kylie were on their date night so Nick and Sarah were taking care of their kids. We took the kids to the beach for a little while to watch the sunset. Then it was back to the condo for a little Dancing with the Stars and basketball. Tomorrow is supposed to rain again so it will be a day to lay low and heal the sunburn. Until next time......

Sunday

Today started out awesome. We got up and headed to the Baptist church for our worship this morning. It was a great sermon on anger and what to do with it. After church we headed to the beach for the day. The Wiers family went on the boat to the island for the day so it was just the "Terps" on the beach today. It was quite a smaller group but a beautiful day. Jeremy fished on the beach for a while but wasn't catching much so he and Hunter headed to the "hot spot" to fish for a couple of hours. I headed up from the beach aroun 3:30pm with Noah and Hunter and Jeremy were there by then. The boys swam for a little while and then it was time to get ready for dinner. We had tacos at the Terpstra/Leeuw house. After dinner was Two Scoops. We headed back to the condo to watch the ACM awards. Not too much exciting but it was an absolutley beautiful day on the beach. 85 degrees and sunny all day long. More of the same is predicted for tomorrow and the next day and the next day.........

Thursday, Friday and Saturday

Well Thursday ended just as it was predicted. RAIN RAIN RAIN!!!! Many natives around here have said that they have NEVER seen in it rain like it did yesterday. It started in the afternoon and it PORED all day long. We manged to get in a girls only breakfast at Gulf Drive Cafe. My mom, aunt, cousin Allison, Cousin Lori, sister in law Sarah and sister Kylie went for breakfast together, it was great. Then we headed to some of the local shops to see what cute things we could find. Soon after we were shopping for a little while the sky's opened up!! It rained until well into the night. We managed to have our annual cousin's dinner at Bonefish Grill. What a fun time we had with the cousins that were there. We ended the night with a drink at Bortell's, a local bar on the island. Friday was an amazing day at the beach. We were out there by 10am b/c we were all waiting for some clear blue sky. That it was!!! Lots of fun in the sun. The rain had lft a bunch of "ponds" on the beach so the kids had a great time playing in those most of the day!! Friday evening we had a Italian dinner with all 36 of us here at our condo. Saturday was another day on the beach. We hung out at the condo until about 11am and then headed down. Jeremy went fishing with Jim, Dean, and Darren and caught 15 grouper but only 6 were "keepers". We cut them and had them for dinner that evening. Such a nice evening with all of us. Tomorrow will bring more of the same.......Until then....

Florida 2011

Most of you won't care about these next bunch of posts. I am using the blog for a sort of diary of our trip to Florida this year. I like to keep track of what we did and look back on it in later years. We headed to Anna Maria Island on Friday March 25, 2011 The kids went to school for half a day and we got them out at lunchtime to go meet Jeff and Kylie for our trek south. We were on the road by 1:30pm. We kept going and going and going. By 8:50pm we were in a HUGE traffic jam that lasted until 11:20pm. That's right, 2 1/2 hours going no more than 2miles per hour. It was torture. We finally got out of that! I drove until 1:30am then Jeremy took over until about 7:30, what a champ. We were able to meet up with Nick and Sarah in Lakeland or Lakeside Fla. for breakfast. We traveled the rest of the way with them. We got off on our exit around noon. Our fist stop was to Wal Mart to get all our groceries. We used my cousins truck and filled the back between us four families! Next stop was the beach house!!!! We got there around 3:30pm and couldn't be happier. After unloading our groceries we ordered some takeout from the City Pier restaurant. Then is was off to bed. We were all exhausted!! Sunday we woke up to a beautiful morning! We headed to the beach and spent the day there. Sophia wasn't feeling well, running a temp. all day so Sarah and Pam took her to the e.r. to get checked. Turns out, after another trip to the dr. on Monday morning, she has roseola. A fever with a rash!! Poor thing. Sunday night for dinner we cooked steaks on the grill. So good. Monday was an okay day. We didn't head to the beach b/c the weather was questionable. We sat by our little pool we have here at the condo. Monday evening we had a huge rain storm!! It pored. We headed over to Nick and Sarah's and Jeff and Kylie's for burgers on the grill. Tuesday was another good day. We ended up sitting on the beach almost all day! We headed up about 3:30pm and had no plans for dinner. Jeremy made venison steaks and macaroni and cheese for the kids. I headed over to The Leeuw/Terp house to hang out with Noah and Haylie while Jeremy took Hunter fishing. We were back at the condo in time for Dancing with the Stars!! Wednesday was not the best day. We started with clouds clouds and more clouds. I went for a walk in the morning and then ran to the grocery store for a few things. The sun couldn't decide if it wanted to come out or not so we didn't go to the beach. We ended up at David and Lori's pool for a good portion of the afternoon. We headed back to get ready for dinner at the Sandbar. Our family went out, all 16 of us!! It was great! We took some pictures and then walked back on the beach. After dinner we hung out on the deck with Darren and Allison for a while. Tomorrow is another day. It is supposed to rain, again. Not the best weather we have had here in Florida. Good thing we have two weeks because this weekend and next week look great!!!

Merry Christmas to ALL!!

WOW I am not sure I can believe it is Christmas already. This year has seemed to go soooo quickly. Last year at this time we were getting ready for the big Disney trip. What a great time that was with our family.
So many great things happened this year, along with some challenges. We are trusting God to help us through those tough times.
I am so thankful for our families and friends. We love spending time with all of them during the Holiday season. This year is no different.
We pray you all have a safe and happy Holiday, wherever you may be spending it.
God bless you in this new year to come.

Playing Catchup

Wow has it been a while since my last post! We have been pretty busy here at the Freriks house. We started school, soccer, Wed. nights at church and hunting season is right around the corner. Haylie started 3rd grade with Mr. Sneller and is loving it. He is a great fit for her this year. It brings back a lot of memories for me because he was a 3rd grade teacher at ZCS when I was there!!

Hunter has Mrs. Zwiep and she has been wonderful this year. He is enjoying school and making lots of new friends.

Noah is in Kindergarten with Mrs. Rozema for the time being. She is filling in for his actual teacher, Mrs Renz until she comes back from maternity leave in late November. He loves, loves, loves school and is excited each day he gets to go.
We started school before Labor day so we got to look forward to one more weekend at the cottage! We celebrated Mercedes birthday and Masons birthday while we were there.
Our next venture has been playing soccer. All three kids are playing and all three kids play on Sat. morning at different times and different fields. I must have been crazy to think that was doable. Thank goodness for grandparents and rainy Saturdays where games are canceled. Our parents have helped transport kids and it has been a huge blessing!

I only have some pictures of Noah's game so far. Jeremy is coaching with his brother for Noah and Lucas and they are loving it. Noah even calls Jeremy "coach" when we are home sometimes.


Reminder for this weekend. There is a fundraising bake sale for Lindy and Dusty Verbeek. It is being held at the HCHS vs. ZHS football game at HC. We will be there from 5-9. Please stop by and grab some goodies for a good cause!! All proceeds go to Lindy and Dusty's medical bills.
Let me know if you need information on baking or where to bring your items or any other questions you might have!
God Bless.

For the Love of Lindy

As you may know by now there has been a HUGE outpouring of support for Lindy and Dusty and their family. This is amazing.
If you aren't on facebook you might not know exactly all that is going on. There is a t-shirt sale, bake sale, benefit concert, rummage sale and a few other things in the works.
All of the profits from these things will be going straight to the medical expenses for Lindy and her family.
If you would like more information on these things please contact me and I can get it for you. There are TONS of places to help.

Keep on praying, praying, praying. Our God is amazing and can work miracles, we know He can. Lindy is bound and determined to beat this thing but will need ALL of us praying to make that happen.

God Bless..... www.verbeekblog.com

Prayers

I am posting to request prayers for a family that is here in Zeeland. She went all through school with me and has three beautiful children and a wonderful husband Dusty.
Lindy needs your prayers. She has been struck with the horrible disease that is called cancer. She was diagnosed with breast cancer last summer and had been dealing with that for the last year. BUT since yesterday her world has been turned upside down once more. She found out that her cancer is back. It is in her brain this time and is inoperable. There are too many tumors to deal with. My heart just aches for her and her family. They don't deserve this, no one does!

Please pray for peace for this family as they go through this journey. The Lord is the great healer and they need to lean on that right now.

You can link to her blog from mine. verbeekblog.com

Playing Catch Up

Well I guess I have to play catch up for the last couple of months. We have had a busy summer here.
T-ball ended, school ended and I began working three days a week again. This means that I have a babysitter coming to the house once a week. The kids love it, b/c it is Natalie, their favorite. She is awesome and makes my job easier. I don't have to get the kids up for anything and she can drive which means she can take the kids places, if need be!
We have had a couple of weekends at the cottage. But our longest trip was to Ohio to see my family down there. My brother and sister and their families were able to come also so it was fun to have them there. My mom came but my dad had to miss it b/c he was in Montana for a mission trip with his church!
This is a picture of all of the kids that were there. 17 kids under age 12!! It was a busy weekend.
The boys were able to go fishing on Saturday. The caught a ton of fish for us to eat that evening.
On Saturday we rented a bouncy house for the kids to play on. They had an awesome time running from the pool to that during the day.
This is Haylie, Chloe and Hannah. They get along great when they get to see each other. Such a fun time for them. They are turning in to quite beautiful young ladies!
We were treated to a "spa" day on Friday. it was a bit rainy and gloomy that day so we headed to our "appointements" and had manis and pedis. Thanks girls, you did great!!!

Noah and Owen, Double trouble! They are 4 months apart and have a great time together.
Kylie, Me, Sarah, My mom, and Lori.

That was the weekend of July 8. We had VBS at our church the following week. I was in charge of registration and putting everyone in groups and making sure all the kids had a place to go. Kind of a big job but after the first night is over it is pretty easy. The kids loved VBS and it was a blast to see them enjoy it so much. On Friday night that week we had a community celebration in the lawn at church, it included a dunk tank. Of course Jeremy was a participant but Hunter wanted in on the excitement too. He got dunked!
Friday after the celebration Jeremy decided to take the kids to the cottage for the weekend. I had a work party on Saturday at the beach so I stayed behind. I had the whole weekend to myself with no kids and no hubby. It was nice for a while but I missed them on Sunday and was ready for them to come home.
This week was busy again. Seems like every night one of us had something to go to.
We had a great weekend this weekend. I don't have any pics to show for it though.
Friday night I went to a craft show to sit with my friend Sara while she was there.
On Saturday I had a girlie day with Haylie. We went to see the movie Ramona and Beezus. It was one of the cutest movies I have seen in a long time. After that we did a little bit of shopping and then headed home.
I got ready to go out with my girlfriends from high school. We then headed to my 15 year class reunion. It was a fun time seeing old friends and catching up with everyone. Most people have 2 or 3 or 4 kids and are as busy as we are.
Sunday was church and then we headed to the beach for the after noon. The waves were great so we got the kids some boogie boards for them to enjoy them with.
We are gearing up for another week of summer but also starting to thing about school a little bit. How can you not with all the school supplies in the stores already.
Until next time.......

We are still here (long, picture heavy)

I know I haven't blogged in a while but I really didn't think there was much to blog about. We haven't had much going on here in the last month or so.


This week, though, was a busy one. We finished up school. That meant parties and a lot of fun for all the kids. I can't believe how fast this school year went. I now will have a 3rd and 1st grader and a kindergardener. I know that the next time I turn around they are all going to be in high school and then getting married. It is going waayyy too quickly.



We started in late may with Noah graduating from Pre School. He will be on to Kindergarten next year and he is very excited. He can't wait to be in the same room Hunter was in this year.
Noah on his big night. We are so proud of you buddy!!
Noah had a great friend in his class, Camden. He knows him from three school and also from our Tues. morning bible study at church. He is sure going to miss him next year as Camden goes to ECC for Kindergarten. Thanks for being such a great friend buddy! See you soon.
Hunter began his first season of T-Ball and he is loving it. He is on the Zeeland Lumber Tiger team and can't wait to get to each game.




Next was Memorial Day. We normally go to the cottage on Lost Lake with the in laws but this year was different. We had to stay home this year. Jeremy had to work and we had a couple of kids that were supposed to be in the parade. The parade got canceled b/c of rain and the kids were really disappointed. We still managed to go out for breakfast at Russ', a tradition in our family. After that we decided to make it a family day. We headed to Craig's Cruisers for mini golf and then to Skippys hot dogs for lunch. At the end of the day we went to my brother's house for the annual Memorial day cook out.

I think this was Haylie's favorite part of the day. A HUGE dill pickle on a stick!!!


Hunter loves playing with his little cousin Ella.
Haylie had her dance recital on Saturday. They got to show off all they have learned in the past year. She took at Hip Hop class at W.E. dance in Zeeland. It was a great experience for her. She took the class with her friend Megan Morley and made some new friends also.
This is my hip hop girl. She did a fantastic job at the recital, we couldn't have been more proud!!


Our niece Lily took ballet at the same place this year and they were in the recital on the same day. It seems like yesterday that Haylie was 4! Lily did an excellent job also, such a little ballerina already! Great job girlies!!! Love you!

Thanks for bearing with me during this long post. I promise to be better at updating so they won't be so long.

Until next time........

Easter, belated

We had a fantastic Easter! It was a beautiful day filled with family and fun.

We went to church in the morning. What a blessing that was. Jeremy sang and so did my niece Marissa, so beautiful.
Then we headed to my aunt and uncle's house in Grand Haven for lunch. The kids had a great time playing and holding my cousin, Emily's, hedgehog. She is a teacher in Chicago and that is her class pet she took home for the weekend.

Here are a few pics from Easter.

Hunter checking out the hedgehog.

My three kiddos all cleaned up!
Best pic I could get of the cousins that were there. Haylie, Parker, Hunter, Noah and Griffin.
Haylie growing up so fast!

Little Griffin.

Noah's Song

Right now Noah is up in his bedroom playing by himself! He is singing at the TOP of his LUNGS:

"Thank you for saving our sins, He is so powerful. He is so awesome! He got died on the cross, thats right, thats right. God is the master and King! And he is saved our sins, and we like it when he saved our sins. GOOOOOO JESUS, GOOOO JESUS!! Whats up?? Whats up? Are you having fun with all those people. When He saved our sins he was awesome. Help me be nicer. My dad too. Thank you that Jesus saved our siiinnns! I am sorry God that you had to die on the cross. "

I had to type as he was singing because I knew I would forget it.
I love that kid!!! Preacher in the making????

MEXICO!!


Last week Jeremy and I had a much needed trip to Riviera Maya Mexico!! What an awesome getaway it was. We left on Wed. morning and came back late Sunday night. We really enjoyed ourselves in this amazing resort. The Grand Princess Resort is beautiful and relaxing. We sat by the pool for three days straight and ate at some fantastic restaurants. We hope to go back in a couple of years, I have already started the savings account!
Here are some pictures from our trip.



Our room was beautiful.
We had a pool right off our balcony!!! Very cool.


This was our path to the pool. All of the landscaping was in pristine condition and manicured to perfection!!

Our view of the pool the first day! So beautiful and fun. We enjoyed listening to music from the dj and watching the activities they did each day too!We got pretty hot during the day so there were many dips in the pool. It was not heated so it was pretty cold but was very refreshing!Jeremy enjoyed a friendly game of water polo each day.

On our way to dinner one night. The grounds of this place are amazing!!! Mimosa's for breakfast! What a great way to start the day!

40 Days

Today begins my 40 days of Lent. I don't remember ever giving anything up for lent. Well, this year I am going to do it. I am giving up Facebook, yes, you read that right FACEBOOK!!! I can do this. For those of you who know me know that I am on facebook a lot! Too much really. I have our computer on the coffee table and when I am just sitting here watching tv, folding laundry, or just vegging out I am usually online on facebook. I play a silly game on there all the time too, Bejeweled Blitz! So, here goes. No facebook for 40 days. This SHOULD give me more time to do things around the house that get passed up b/c I would rather veg on FB. Already today I have gotten all the laundry put away and cleaned the house. I plan to go through some closets and cupboards and organize them better. I plan to get the storage room organized, the kids play room and Jeremy's side of the closet. Garage sale here I come!

This week has proven to be busy already. Monday was work and then a meeting at church. Tuesday was a little better. I had another meeting with our Disney planner in the evening just to go over our past trip to make sure we had a good time and she wanted to make sure she did her job. It was fun to see her again and to chat with my mom and sister in law. Kylie couldn't make it. After that meeting I decided it was a great idea to go get groceries at 8pm in the evening. Actually, that is a great time to go to Meijer, there isn't a sole there! I did savings angel and saved myself over $50 and also had $1o in bottle returns. Today was bringing Haylie to school, come home do laundry, give the boys lunch and then bring Hunter to school. Noah took a nap and I did more laundry and watch Curling at the Olympics. That is actually a great sport to watch. I had to look up the object of the game on the Olympic website but once you know the jest of the game it gets pretty intense. We headed to my niece Olivia's basketball game after I picked the kids up from school. She played a really great game and it was close to the end! Then we came home for 1/2 hour and headed to church for dinner. Now, I am home alone until Jeremy gets home with the children around 8:30. Jeremy is then heading to the airport to go get his parents when the arrive from Arizona.

They are coming home because our uncle, my mom in law's brother in law Ben had a massive stroke on Sunday night. Last I heard he was blind in one eye and had partial paralysis. He can't remember what he is supposed to do with an ink pen and has swelling and bleeding in his head. As of last evening his swelling hadn't gotten any worse since Monday night, which is good. They won't know exactly how much damage has been done until all the swelling goes down. We are really praying for a miracle for him. PRAY, PRAY PRAY.

Tomorrow is work and then going to sign my last baby up for Kindergarten. I can't believe I am at that point already! Noah will be in K-garten and Haylie in 3rd grade and Hunter in 1st! Ugh, before I know it they are going to be driving and I will NEVER see them!

That is enough rambling for now. I guess I have nothing better to do though, no FB!!!
Until next time........

Valentine's Day

I hope you all had a wonderful V-day. I did. My day started with my kiddos making home made cards for me. Those are the best b/c they get to use their creativity and show what they really want to say. I started to come down the steps to get my much needed coffee for the morning and was stopped by Haylie telling me to get back upstairs. Alrighty then!!! They brought the coffee and the cards, very sweet.
The celebration didn't last long. It was time to get ready for church. I had to teach Sunday School and Jeremy had to get to church early for Prise Team. Then it was home for tacos and much needed nap time. At least I took a nap, I am sure the kids were in jeremy's hair all afternoon. I was in my room in my cozy bed for a couple of hours.
Church again at night, at least that was the plan. Haylie complained of a headache but I didn't really believe her b/c I knew that there was a movie on that she wanted to watch. I made her get in the car and go. We got to church and she was crying in the back seat with clammy hands and forehead! Poor girl. So I dropped off the boys and Jeremy took them home with him. She came home and took a little snooze and was good to go later in the evening! Ugh, another headache for her. I am going to try the chiropractor, for sure this time. I'll keep you posted.
This week proves to be a busy week. School, workouts, dance, church....it is a never ending cycle.
Until next time......

Saturday, February 13, 2010

Well, it's been a couple of weeks since my last post. Not that I think many people care. I am not sure how many people actually read this. It is more for my recollection later in life, I think.
We have been sort of busy but pretty calm at the same time. The usual weekly stuff, Dance class, church, Pilate's and a little snow play.
Jeremy and I booked a trip to Mexico for the middle of March. We are both VERY excited. In 1o years of marriage we have never gone on a trip like this with just the 2 of us. We have made a few trips to the Traverse City area for a night or 2 here and there but nothing tropical. Thanks to my mom and dad we are able to celebrate our 10 year anniversary in style!!!
The kids have been plugging along in school. Haylie is making some great friends and I am grateful for that. Hunter is doing well. He is getting the hang of being in school and even reading pretty well. Noah LOVES to go to pre school and can't wait to get into Kindergarten next year. I have to go this week and sign him up for that. This might mean that I am going to go to work more! I could potential pick up 2 more days at work. This said, I would have to work it out so I can be able to bring the kids and pick them up from school. Since we don't have busing here it is a logistical nightmare trying to get all the kids where they need to be. Finding a place for just Haylie to go hasn't been a problem but next year it will be Hunter and Haylie plus Noah on a couple of other days. If I can work it out to be able to get out of work to do the driving it would be perfection!!! We shall see. I am not all that excited about working more but the mulah would be nice and it would get me off my lazy butt!!!
This weekend is Valentines day. We didn't plan on doing anything but my parents offered to watch the kids so we can head out for dinner tonight! Don't know where we will end up but it should be nice.
Haylie had a sleepover last night. We found out that a little girl that is in her class at school lives right her in Bluff!! I was very excited and this summer is going to be fun b/c she can ride her bike to her house and have another friend to play with around here. They were very cute together. I might have to have her over more often b/c they ended up cleaning up the boys bedroom!!! Made the beds, brought the laundry down and emptied the trash and even vacuumed!!! Love it.
Happy Valentine's Day!!!

Magical!!!

Fireworks over the Castle. One of my favorite moments.

We have been home for 2 weeks now but it doesn't seem like it. We had one of the most fun vacations of all time. My parents took the whole family to DISNEY!!! (minus the babies, and we missed them) My parents have been planning this trip for 4 years. It was a trip to celebrate their 35th wedding anniversary. We had a wonderful woman who helped us plan the trip and made all our reservations for us and got us some preferred seating at a few shows! What a wonderful experience! Hunter and Lily at the Playhouse Disney show.Block Party Parade at Hollywood studios. Best parade ever!!!
Mom and Jeremy Celebrating their birthday's Ohana, the first night.At the bus stop waiting to go to Animal Kingdom.Dinner at Ohana the first night. SOOOO good, best food of the week.Hunter with the Gorilla behind him.Our first sight of MICKEY!!!! Preferred seating to Lion King show!! They kids got to get involved in the show. I don't have a pic of it but my dad did too. He was picked to show the crowd how to make a sound like a warthog! It was really cool. Best show we saw!The boys with Minnie Mouse at breakfast at Tony's Town one morning.
My Pirate boys!!

Hunter with one of the evil step sisters at the Cinderella's royal table dinner. They were hilarious!
We had a wonderful time and are already planning our next trip. There is so much to do that we could have a whole other trip and not duplicate anything we did this time.
THANKS MOM AND DAD FOR A LIFETIME OF MEMORIES!!! LOVE YOU!













Following are some memories we made.
