Splish Splash


Joel bought the kids a water slide. this year so we would not have to put up the pool. They really seem to love it. Their friend Natalie came over to play on the slide today.

Swim Lessons



Swim Lessons-Josh took swim lessons again this summer. He learned so much last year we thought it would be good for him to learn new techniques and become a stronger swimmer. By the last session they were swimming 5 warm up laps.

Disney World 2008


We went to the Pirate and Princess party and had tons of fun! Belle went back to the hotel with Joel's parents and Joel, Josh and I stayed and rode several rides. Josh loved Splash Mountain, but his favorite was Tower of Tower. He also went on Everest and Space Mountain.




What a great visit! We finished our trip with a day at Magic Kingdom. We thought we would only have time for a few rides, but luck was on our side. As Joel, his parents and the kids were coming off the train they were greeted by Disney Officials and given "Dream Fast Passes". So we were able to go on every ride we wanted that day. Hook and his buddy were trying to steal the kids fast passes.
Belle Turns Four
Belle turned four while we were at Disney. As a special treat she got to go to the Bippitty Boppitty Boutique. She had her hair done and picked out a special princess dress, shoes, wand and crown. She refused to have her make-up done
but looked like a princess anyway
Checking our luggage at the airport.
We had to get up very early to catch our flight.
As you can see the kids are only half awake.
Josh loves having to wake up when it is still dark to leave for a trip. It does add an element excitement to a trip.
