Jurassic Park Ride

Today we spend the day at Universal's Island Adventure.  It was so fun to see the Wizarding World of Harry Potter.  It was really neat, but I would have loved it to have been just a Harry Potter park.  I wish there was a little more to do.  I would have loved to have been able to have gone into more shops but they only had a few that you could actually go into.  Also to have been able to go into the Hogwarts Castle, but it is only a theme park and you can only do so much.  We ate lunch at the three broomsticks today and got to try butter beer.  It was pretty good!  It just kind of tasted like butter scotch soda.  Next time I will try Pumpkin juice.  Stu and I went on the Dragon Challenge roller coaster, it was fun but it made me a little sick. My dad and Stu went on the Harry Potter and the Forbidden Journey I would have like to have gone on it, but to make a long story short it just wasn't working out with the two kids. -Abby just wanted Stu because she was scared of the castle, Sam was not happy and it was a 60 min wait.  There child swap here is not very convenient, your kids have to stand in the line with you then you swap at the end.  Disney's way of doing it is much better were you get the pass and you can take the kids some where while the others wait in line.  It is too hard to keep kids entertained in a 60 min line, or any line.  Right before Sam and Abby decided to poop.  We got Abby changed and  Stu calls me and says I think Sam is poopy now.  So my mom went and switched the kids.  Boy was Sam poopy.  It was all the way up his back and on his legs.  I had to take off his onesie and he looked like a hillbilly in his overalls with no shirt.  It was cool enough today that he wore his sweat shirt over them all day.  We walked through Honey Dukes, and the Joke shop.  Then went back to Suesse's Landing.  Abby really enjoyed the Carousel, the Cat in the Hat ride, and One fish, Two fish, Red fish, Blue Fish.  We were about to leave and we saw Dudley Dolittle's Ripsaw Falls.  It looked like fun but we would have gotten really wet.  My wonderful dad bought me a poncho and said go do it.  SO my parents watched the kids while we did that and Jurassic Park (another water ride).  They we both fun, Stu got soaking wet on the first one. I don't know if there was an inch of him that was not wet.  I was really glad I had a poncho.  i told Stu now that I have that poncho I am invincible I can go on any water ride.  One our was out we stopped at a food court and had dinner.  Then back to the hotel got all the kids to bed and now I am off to bed!

Florida Day 1...

Abby loved all the fish and animals

Abby and Sam crashed on our way from Animal Kingdom to Magic Kingdom

We had a fabulous day.  The weather could not have been more perfect, the kids were great, we have had a wonderful time.  We started the day at Animal Kingdom.  Abby loved seeing all of the animals.  We would stop to look at one and want to move on to the next animal.  She told us in the car on the way there that the animal she wanted to see was an ostrich.  We were all thinking and ostrich, okay?  But she got to see her ostrich and lots of other animals on Kilimanjaro Safaris.  She thought that was so much fun.  We at lunch a pizza place and we had to force Abby to eat she just wanted to go and do things.  The lines were not bad at all.  I don't think we waited any more than maybe 15-20 minutes to get on anything.  Stu and I did the Expedition Everest and we were in the very front, we thought that was pretty fun.  Abby enjoyed seeing all of the colorful fish and other animals.  We road on the train to the Raffiki island (or what ever it is called) and there they had a whole lot of bugs on display, Abby walked along the window pointing at each of them says disgusting, disgusting, disgusting.  I think she learned that from her mother!  Last grandpa Ron and Stu and Abby rode Tricera Top Spin.  Abby liked that one.  She did see Pluto when she was walking with grandpa and I guess she wanted to go hug him, but the line was too long.  We then made out way back to the car where both kids fell asleep and we drove over to The Magic Kingdom so we could watch the Electrical Light Parade.  Stu and I hung out in the car for an hour while the kids slept and grandma and grandpa went ahead and saved us a perfect spot to watch the parade.  While we waited for the parade Abby tried hula hooping and grandpa took her to get a lollipop.  The parade was wonderful and both kids enjoyed it.  Then we went and had dinner in Tomorrow land and the Starlight Cafe.  One Abby ate she was in a much better mood and she was ready to go again.  Grandpa had gotten us fastpasses for Space Mountain so Stu and I rode that what grandpa and Abby rode the Teacups.  Grandma hung out with sleeping Sam.  After we finish space mountain we went and found them at the Teacups and Abby rode then three more times while my parents went on Space Mountain.  Every time she would get off the Teacups she would say, "Again, Again!" Then we left the park on the crowded monorail and headed back to the hotel were we have been trying to get the kids to bed for who knows how long.  Sam in sleeping in the family room/kitchen, Abby and I are in the king size bed and Stu decided to sleep on the hid abed with Sam because last night Abby pretty much slept on top of him all night long.  We wanted to try and make it to Universal Studios early tomorrow, but I don't think that will happen since it is 12:30am here and everyone is just getting to sleep.  Well I am done pumping so I am going to go to bed!  I hope tomorrow is as perfect as today! Sorry about all the grammatical and spelling errors, it is late!

Good Night!

We made it!

It was a pretty good flight.  Abby watched movies pretty much the whole time.  For the most part Sam did well too.  He slept for most of the end of the flight.  Abby was so excited to get on an airplane.  She wanted to go straight to Disney World when we landed.  She looked pretty cute walking with her little suitcase in toe.
We had so much crap.  Check out our car and that was only the trunk.  Abby likes our hotel, she especially likes our shower.  It was a huge shower that the shower head was on the ceiling.  Abby said it was raining.  When it was time for bed Abby was so sad she wanted to go to bed in her new big girl bed at home.  That is why she is sleeping in our bed.  Off to Animal Kingdom tomorrow.

On Our Way...

We are leaving in 30 minutes to go to Disney World.  I got all four of us packed into two suitcases- Abby diapers, Sam diapers, swim diapers, bottles, sippy cups, baby food, food, clothes, shoes, etc.  Way to go me!, Pluto and Pooh Bear. We are so excited to see Abby this morning when we wake her to tell her we are going to get on the airplane to go to Disney World. I have her little Dora suitcase packed with her all of her Minnie Mouses
Hopefully it will be a fun trip.  We are sure excited!

Two Choices...

Today Abby told me I had two choices, I could either go to my room and get in my bed or play with her ponies. Hmmm, let me think about that.

Two Year Olds...

I just love how Abby thinks, tonight as we were reading stories before bed she suddenly wanted her blanket washed. I told her I would do it tomorrow. She freaked out because she said her blanket needed to be wash cause it was yucky.  I finally figured out what she really wanted was for me to put it in the dryer. So we went and put it in the dryer, read a story and went and got it out of the dryer. That did the trick.  She just wanted a warm blanket.  I think she was just really cold tonight.  Tonight was the first night she let me put her comforter on since she got her new bed.  We snuggled under the covers and sang songs for a while.  Then she turns to me and says, "Guess what!" I said, "What?", Her reply, "I am going to go sledding tomorrow because I am going sledding tomorrow because Share bear need a hug." Then continues with another run on sentence that makes not sense.  I just smiled.  Then she asked me to sing one more song so I finished another song and she turns to me and says, "Guess what!" I said, "What?" Then she start rambling about grumpy bare and going to Disney World in a month.  I just love to listen to her.  That little mind is just moving a million miles a minute.  She asked for one more song and I was so warm and toasty falling asleep in her bed I said sure.  After that song she said, "Mommy I want you to sleep with me in my bed." She has never asked that before.  I loved it.  I told her Daddy would miss me to much maybe we could have a sleep over another time.  She said something like maybe next month.  She doesn't understand days and week and months but I love how she tries to use them in sentences.  She is such a sweetheart...most of the time. ( :  We had a fun day together.  Sam, Abby and I went to the Aquarium then to McDonald's for lunch.  Abby requested that we go inside, even though the one we went to did not have a play-place.  She was just my little buddy today!  It was almost like the days before Sam was born now we just have an extra buddy that Abby loves to tickle and try to make him laugh. I just love my squirts!

Baby Food Time!

I have not been the best a feeding Sam baby food so this week I decided to try and be better.  He has really enjoyed it.  He started the week just eating on Gerber 1st, but two days ago he at an entire Gerber 2nd in one sitting and yesterday he ate two Gerber 1st in one sitting and wanted more.  If I don't just shovel it in he gets so mad.  My kid just love to eat!  I tried peas this week.  It was a no go!  Abby hated baby food peas too.  But he has enjoyed everything else I have tried - bananas, carrots, squash and pears.

Pretend Disney World

Lately Abby keeps pretending to go to Disney World.  She likes to tell me she is going to pretend Disney World, just in case I thought she was really going to Disney World.  Yesterday we sat on the stairs and that was the airplane, then we got off and we were in pretend Disney World.  She said, "Look how beautiful Disney World is and listen there is music."  Then we went to the hotel and picked out our beds and went swimming (on the floor.) I am so excited to take her to the real Disney World, on a real airplane and to a real hotel to go swimming.
