Orlando - Day 2

We started out heading straight to Disney's Hollywood Studio. We spent most of the morning there. We had breakfast at a cute dinner with Jo Jo's Circus characters. Again, Chloe just wanted away from the big weird things whenever they came by to say hi. Porter did great and was a lot more curious than Chloe.

Pictures - left to right, top to bottom:

We hurried over to Animal Kingdom for a roller coaster, parade and safari. We had just enough time to get back for Fantasmic in Hollywood Studio. Chloe was totally exhausted by the end of the day. She did get one small nap that day, thanks to Steph

anie - who was amazing the whole trip. We wouldn't have been able to do any of it with out her. She watched the kids while we were on a few rides and essen

tially she planned everything.

Orlando

December was a fun-packed month for us. Between a quick trip to Disney World, Chloe's birthday, and Christmas, we have been kept busy! I guess the best thing is to put up some pictures for you to see:

Day One in Orlando was spent with a birthday breakfast for Chloe with Minnie Mouse, Donald Duck, and Goofy. She did NOT like Minnie, which is ironic since her "lovey" or "baby" is a Minnie Mouse who comes everywhere with us. After breakfast, we went to Sea World. COOLEST. KILLER WHALE. SHOW. EVER. Well, it is the only one I've ever seen anyway, and it was definitely worth watching. We were in the "Splash Zone" and luckely Steph is always prepared and had ponchos. Too bad it rained a lot of the day, but it was still pretty amazing to pet manta rays and dolphins.

Paul and Stephanie were wonderfully nice to volunteer to watch Chloe so Kevin and I could make it to the temple while in Orlando. Unfortunately, the last session started at 7:30 we were just a minute too late. The GPS had given us an inaccurate distance and we didn't make it on time. The temple is beautiful. We were disappointed to be turned away, though the spirit on the grounds was strong and still gave us a spiritual boost.

There you have day 1. Check back soon for the rest of the December fun in the sun... er... rain.

I Go A-Walking

She mostly has to be bribed, but she will do a few steps on her own, but crawling is still easier for her.
