birthdays and disney!

Our baby girl is now 3 and I can't believe it! Seriously weird to know that she is growing up so fast. We celebrated at Disney the weekend before her birthday with my parents at Fort Wilderness Campground. We stayed in a cabin that was a one bedroom that had bunk beds and a full size bed in the bedroom and then in the living room had a murphy bed. It was really fun and because it is the off season it was much cheaper. It really is a blessing she was born in September! It is just after the blackout dates for the season passes, the lines at the parks are super short (the longest wait was 15 min the rest was all 5 or less), the parks aren't really busy AND they are decorated so pretty!!!

Caden is now tall enough to ride Tower of Terror, Splash Mt., Big Thunder Mt., Fast Track AND Soarin'  :) He LOVED them. My mom stayed with Casey Bug and took her to see the Country Bears and shopping while we did those rides except for Soarin' she loves that ride and Joe isn't really a fan of it that much because of the heights so he took the Bug to get her picture with ALL the characters. Never was there a happy little girl and we got some really cute pics now of her with Minnie Mouse and a super cute one of her and Joe with Pluto. During the Tower of Terror Casey got the company of both Joe and my mom because only my dad and I like that ride LOL Joe and Mom aren't really a fan of the falling feeling over and over again. Caden did great he loved it but that was the only one he didn't want to do again right away :)

We enjoyed the Hoopty-Dee-Doo Review one night which the kids seriously enjoyed and then the next night we played on the beach of the lake watching the sunset. It was really a great weekend and an amazing family time.

Monday we were home thankfully because Caden had a very bad case of the stomach flu which praise God didn't spread to the rest of us. Then after that I got a cold by Friday Casey had a fever and runny nose which postponed the plans I was going to make with the family that didn't go to Disney. Casey's birthday fell on Tuesday and we celebrated by going to McDonald's for breakfast and then watching the new Tinkerbell movie and having the Bug's favorite snack food POPCORN!!!!  Mac'n Cheese for lunch and then Pancakes for dinner :) She had a great day.
