Disney World

It seems like life has been a whirlwind lately, so much going on.  We had a trip planned with Mike's work to Orlando.  I thought about not going with everything that has been going on, but I decided it would be nice to relax.  On Sunday we woke up to a snow storm and I was so glad we were flying to the sunshine state.  We got in around 4, got checked in, unpacked and then we were off to dinner.  
Getting Izzy's shoes on, all she wanted to do was explore.

That night they had a dinner with Disney characters.  Izzy wasn't too sure of the characters; she didn't know if she should laugh or cry.  
She didn't want to get close to the characters, but she would say, Woof Woof.
Minnie and Izzy.

Monday morning Mike had meetings so Izzy and I headed to the pool.  I loved the 85 degree weather.

Izzy has no fear, she was off to the pool before I could even get my coverup off.
She wasn't sure if she wanted to lay out or swim.

That afternoon we went to Animal Kingdom.  Izzy loved seeing all the animals.


Waiting in line for the Safari Ride.
On the safari ride.  We had to take Izzy out of her stroller and she woke up, so she was not super happy.
Watching the gorilla was awesome.
That was some kind of cool looking tree behind us.
Monday night was Awesome!! Sea World was completely reserved exclusively for our group.  We watched a dolphin/whale show, rode all the rides as many times as we wanted, ate food galore, and played all the games for free.  It was seriously a dream night!!
This ride was crazy!  Such a fun night.

Tuesday we went to Magic Kingdom, but the camera was temporarily lost, so we don't have any pictures.  Luckily, Mike found the camera in a Sea World bag.

Wednesday we went to Hollywood Studios.
Waiting in line for the Toy Story movie.  They claim this is the most popular ride at Disney World.  Izzy enjoyed except for when puffs of air came out, she got scared.
Putting on the glasses.
Stephen's son, Zach, came on the trip too.  Izzy loved playing with him.  She was trying to climb into the fountain to get into the wahwah (water).
Wed night the group had a special private place to watch the fire work show.  Izzy didn't like it too much; she got scared with all the noise.
Thursday we went to Blizzard Beach.  Izzy wore her cute bathing suit and cover up that Derdle bought her.
She loved being in the water.
Surprisingly she actually enjoyed the slide.
Riding on Minnie.
They had small kiddie slides that she could go on by herself.  She would have done it all day if I let her.  She kept saying swide, swide, please.
She played in the arcade for a bit at the hotel.
Her kid's meal was so cute so I had to take a picture of the Mickey plate.

Last night, Smile!  
It was a great trip, so glad we got to spend time together as a family!
