Disney with Friends!

Let me preface this by apologizing for the MASSIVE delay in publishing Shel's birthday weekend at Disney. I literally started this blog shortly after we returned from O-town. 

I know. Shocker. We were recently at Disney.

This trip was, like all the trips before, AWESOME!!

We went to celebrate a sweet friend's 5th birthday.

So there we are, on a beautiful sunny morning. The weather was perfect... I don't think the temperature could be more perfect. We were packing up. The suitcases were full. Rea's had been packed for a night or two. Rea is a bit of a control-freak - wonder where she gets that from - so she LOVES to be able to pack her own stuff. And I don't mind. One less person to worry about. It's not like she lets me have much of a say in her outfit choices anyway. Pick your parental battles.

We kept Rea home from school for the day. My Crew spent the morning packing up the trailer. Shane loaded the golf carts, and I finished packing the coolers. Rea and Ri were counting down the minutes until we left.



The plan was to meet up with the birthday girl's family at the Turnpike entrance at 1pm. So at like 12:30, we began the task of strapping little ones in. Shane puts the key in the ignition to kick the A/C on... and nothing.

Seriously. Nothing.

Battery is dead. D-E-A-D. Dead.

The kids are less than amused as we pull them out of the car. Shane is even more unhappy than the kiddos. So change of plans. The Smiths will bring a new battery to our house, and we will leave from our house.

Finally, we are off! Disney: here we come!!!

Waiting for the battery

LOVE the headphones that Santa brought! 

Both kids plugged in and passed out. 

Genie and I took the girls to the Trading Post for a few minutes. And that night Rea and Shel had a sleepover - it lasted until 2am.
