Hey all !! Hope everyone is doing well (except Chris that is). Chris, it probably is time to admit that you are getting older and can't keep up with the young'ins like you used to. But your sense of adventure is what we love about you also.
We are doing fantastic. We had a spectacular two weeks in Orlando and just loved it. Henry and Cora had a great time at the Disney parks. Henry especially is such a great age - he was just in awe of all the Disney magic. Loved seeing the characters that he watches on TV up on stage in front of him, riding the rides, playing in the play areas, swimming at the condo pool, and just enjoying time with his parents and grandparents. We were sure lucky to have mom and dad along for most of the trip to help with kids and to just hang out together. We got to the Magic Kingdom three times, Hollywood Studios (the old MGM studios) three times, and Animal Kingdom two times. Our favorite park is probably the Hollywood Studios. We had breakfast with Mickey and Pluto and Lilo and Stitch (characters from a TV show Henry watches), lunch with the Little Einsteins and JoJo's Circus (again from the TV) and dinner with Winnie the Pooh, Tigger, Eyeore, and Piglet. No, not all on the same day !! It was so fun to see the kids' eyes light up as the characters came towards them and even Cora towards the end of the time there wasn't afraid of them and was giving them hugs. She quickly figured out who Mickey and Minnie Mouse were and every time she saw them either in person or a picture, etc., she would smile and point at them.
The flights were difficult as to be expected. Confining children in a seat for over four hours is not a good idea. Then when we arrived in Omaha we discovered that Henry had left the light above his seat on, so we had a very dead car battery. Oh, well. But overall, except for the crankiness that comes from children that are out of routine and tired, everyone had a really good time together. Now back to the daily grind (and answering two weeks of mail and email and phone calls). Take care ----- Love, Carin
