Vacation Day 2

Friday June 24, 2011
We started the day eating breakfast with the characters at Chef Mickey's. The kids loved the experience. Emily, Tatum and Jarrett all had autograph books and loved getting the characters autographs. Tatum and Emily were not afraid at all and walked right up to each one like they were old friends. Jarrett was a little more reserved and Titus only liked them from a distance.

Titus walking in to Chef Mickey's.

The week before the trip at church camp Titus decided he was ready to be fully potty trained. He did very well the entire trip. We made a lot of pee pee stops. The many stops we made for him was a running joke but everyone was very patient with him and we were all proud of him for being a big boy. Way to go Titus we are all so proud of you and can't believe how easy potty training has been once you decided you were ready!

Waiting on breakfast and the Characters to come out!

They aren't really sure what to think when Mickey first came out. We gave him the autograph books the first go around. They caught right on after that and was asking for the books before we thought of it.

Titus stayed as far away as possible.

Tatum had something to ask each one or a story to tell them. I don't think she ever noticed they don't talk. She was asking all of them where Minnie was or when she was coming.

Pluto is Jarrett's favorite and the only one he would take a picture with. I love this he is really unsure of how big Pluto is in real life.

Tatum's first glimpse of Minnie coming our way!

These two pictures are priceless. She is so excited to see her favorite character Minnie Mouse.

The girls were so excited to see Minnie they kept hugging her and talking 100 miles an hour.

Brad and I were Twinkies

Trying out some fancy Minnie ears!

Dan and Becca with all the kiddos. Riding the monorail to Epcot for the first park of the vacation.

Titus loved the monorail. He would get so excited and yell train every time he saw it.

Ready for some rides at Epcot. Emily, Becca, Brad and Jarrett in front of the giant ball.

My handsome hubby and I.

Becca says you stink! Not really ;)

Jarrett, Tatum and Emily in the shark. Titus was afraid of that one. It was to big.

This was outside the Nemo ride, aquarium, and shark play ground.

Jarrett was tuckered out! To much fun for him.

Lightening McQueen and Mator. Titus all time favorite movie.

It rained at the end of our day at Epcot. Emily had been asking to put her poncho on all day. She was so happy to finally be wearing it.

Becca and I were feeling pretty cool in ours too! These things were life savors. We would have been drenched and miserable without them. Good thinking Becca! We had no idea we were there during the rainy season. Oops, never thought about that!

The rain came in at the end of the day. We were tired, getting hungry and ready to relax. We decided it was enough and headed back to the condo. It was a smart move because the rain never stopped that evening and It gave us some time to rest up for day three.

We rated day two of vacation with two thumbs up!!

While on our vacation my sister in law Marcia delivered her beautiful baby girl Elianna. My second niece of the month was born while I was gone. I stayed up late waiting to hear that she was born safe and sound and going crazy knowing I wasn't going to see her right after she was born. Marcia kept sending me pictures and keeping me posted on how they were doing. Even in the pictures I could tell she was one of the most beautiful babies I had ever seen! I was dying to meet her and see David and Marcia with her. I was so excited and over joyed for this precious niece. Even though I had not seen or held her yet it was love immediately! I will post pictures of our first meeting with cousin/ niece Ellie after vacation days. We have prayed for these precious babies since the day we heard the news that they were coming. We are so excited and happy to have them join the family.
