Disney World!!

Breanna turned 4 years old!!!  She has been talking for months about going to Disney World for her birthday and I think it was everything she was hoping for.  I know it was for Jon and I.  We are so glad Grandma Honey and Pa-pa-pa could come!!  We had a full two weeks of fun!
 The Not So Scary Mickey Party was a big hit, in fact, we had so much fun we decided to go a second time! We partied til we dropped.  We were out til about 2:00 am both times and had to do a little recoup time the next day; sleeping in, lounging  by the pool soaking our feet in the hot tub.  Ahh, vacationing is such hard work.
I spy with my little eye a little baby chicken.
Ethan was getting all kinds of attention in his chicken costume.

 After meeting all the princesses, Breezie had the pose thing down.

St. Petersburg Beach
Searching for Sea Shells.
 It was a cold day at the beach.  The beach we were going to go to was closed due to hurricane Sandy.  There were plenty of winds left behind where we were thus, all the fleeces and jackets we're bundled up in.  We would lay our towels down and minutes later you'd hardly know it's there because the wind was blowing the sand on it.  At least the water was warm, gotta love that about the Gulf of Mexico. I think if it had been a 10 minute drive we would have turned right around and gone back, but after an hour and 1/2 in the car, we were going to make the most of it.  We also went to Cocoa  Beach the following week.

 The sun came out to say hello as we were wrapping things up.  So we decided to go for one more stroll along the seashore.


Until next time Florida. . . 



Universal Studios

Oh how we love Florida!!  We spent most of our time at Universal Studios and Islands of Adventure.  We were pleasantly surprised at just how much there was for Breanna.  Last time we went we didn't have little ones so we weren't familiar with those sections of the parks.  We were super impressed with Breanna's Bravery on this trip.  She was a huge fan of the fast roller coasters and wanted to go on them over and over again.  She also went down a water raft ride with Mommy, a pool side water slide with Daddy.  She dared to start swimming by herself again.  Something she did when she was two and we haven't been able to get her to do it again until now.
Universal Studios!!!
 Breezie's favorite- Woody Wood Peckers Roller coaster!  She had a Birthday button which got her a fast pass in the lines and Mommy got to ride this with her 6 times in a row.
 Curious George land was all about getting wet.  She had a blast.
Breanna got to be a part of the parade.  She held the rope at the end and waved to all the people and danced.  What a fun surprise!

 Camp Jurrasic
Harry Potter World was one of our favorites. Even though the Harry Potter ride made most of us motion sick we still went on it again and again, because it was that good!  The walk to the ride through the castle is phenomenal. 
Comic Book Land
Grandpa was Ethans favorite whenever he needed a nap, Papapa's shoulder was the comfiest spot to catch some Z's.
 Breezie was beaming when she met some of her favorite characters.


Another brave thing she did was volunteer on stage at Arabian Nights.  It was a dinner and horse show we went to.  During the pre-show there was a belly dancer,  when she asked for a volunteer Breezie was all over it. She was workin the crowd as she got into her groove.  We were proud of her for being so brave.
