Magic Kingdom-Cassandra's Day

Okay, I cannot upload all of the pictures that I took on this day. It was the best and I wish we would have stayed longer but everyone was exhausted. Cassandra really had fun wearing her Cinderella dress all day. She was a Princess and Jase was a cutie pie! Jase was so cute, he liked all the Princess' he winked at them and kissed them on the cheek. He now calls his Mommy and Sister a princess. Yes, we brain washed him!

We traded pins with this guy and he was really surprised when I said I wanted to take his picture. I guess he didn't know me too well.......I'm a "true" tourist and I'll take a picture of anything or anyone. Ha

Alice in Wonderland and Rabbit.

We told Jase to give us a "Disney" smile. Awe....isn't he cute!

Yep, it rained on us too! Every afternoon about 4:30 or 5 it would rain for a very short time. Just long enough for us to wear our poncho's for a few minutes. Of course, the kids loved it!

Fantasy of Flight-Uncle Mark's Day

We were on our way to meet the Nardin's and we couldn't believe our eyes.....4 trucks drove by loaded down with oranges, down "Orange Street". Needless to say, it was a Kodak moment for tourist in Florida.

Yea......we finally met up with our tour group and added a new member..."Smilin Jack". He was dressed to a "T" and what a hoot!

He was more than happy to pose for a picture!

Perfect day for ICE CREAM!


This was an amazing place. They had a tram that took you around to the different storage buildings and there was warehouses, after warehouses of old plane pieces where they rebuilt the old planes. Wow.......racks of motors, propellers, wings, (I'm not explaining this too well, but for an airplane enthusiast, this would be heaven.....Uncle Mark enjoyed it)

Our flight on a biplane was a thrill even though Sharon and I got a little sickie!

We made it back alive!

Vacation 2009

It is going to take a while before we recuperate from this vacation.....financially and our energy level. I need another vacation to get well BUT it was so worth it. We left Thursday afternoon and drove to Bilouxi, Mississippi and on Friday, we spent a little time on the beach before hitting the road again to drive to Florida. The kids were really great in the car. Well, sorta, Jase got sick after being in the car for about 2 hours but he only had that one episode and he seemed to be doing okay after that. He did have a bad cough and nasty nose but he was trooper. We called pediatrics and they said to give him honey for his cough and IT WORKED! The kids loved the beach.

I think we spent $25 to rent this sand buggy and used it for probably about 10 minutes and we got bored with it quick. Made for a good picture though! Ha

Our original plan was to not get wet but someone with shorter legs didn't have a chance or meeting that goal.

Awe....there is nothing like the beach. So nice!!!! God is a wonderful creator!

Microwave Corn on the Cob

I've said it once, I'll say it again, I have the best neighbor in the whole wide world. She taught me how to make microwave corn on the cob and it is delicious (pictures don't lie...look at Cassandra and Jase....they love it). You basically cut off the majority of the shucks by cutting both of the ends, then lay on top of a paper towel and microwave for 10 minutes. Then, it's perfect, when peeling off the remaining part of the shucks, the corn silk comes off real easy along with it. Smear on your butter, salt and pepper and call it a meal ;-) Yummy!
Little nibbles all over this poor ear of corn. He ate a lot!

No doubt about it, they are my kids since they love corn as much as I do ;-) I've corrupted them!
