Back to the Frozen White North!

Well all, we are back from our very well-timed vacation to Disneyworld. I know I didn't talk too much about it here, but you just never know who might be reading...if you know what I mean. I didn't want to come home and find our house ransacked! LOL!

But our trip was FANTASTIC!!! The kids all did really well on the plane, and loved the tram at the airport... Although it was chilly for Florida, to us it was absolutely tropical...especially since central Ohio was getting pounded with 16-18 inches of snow and subzero temperatures! We made it to the pool our first full day there, but after that it really wasn't warm enough. They had a fun pool party that day, and Kendall won a hula-hooping contest...GO KENDALL!!!!We also made it to Epcot, The Animal Kingdom, and The Magic Kingdom (which is my favorite of all time!), and made an appearance at the Ohana Best Friends Breakfast with Lilo and Stitch... It rained the entire day on Friday, which is when we wanted to hit Hollywood Studios, so we decided to bag it and hang around our villa instead. We stayed at the Animal Kingdom's Kidani Village, and it was awesome...no two ways about it! There was so much to see and do. We went with 2 other families who were totally fun, and all of the kids got along famously. I just can't say enough about how much fun we had!

Maybe some pictures will convey the message a little better than my words can...Fun with a capital "F"!!! We were all so worried about taking our kids out of school for the week, but as it turned out, they all only ended up missing one day. With all of the snow and icy conditions, school was cancelled every day but Friday! Can you believe that? I'd say we got out of Dodge at just the right time, wouldn't you?

So now we're back, and it's been snowing in a near whiteout all day...we're supposed to get 7-9 more inches today and tonight. I guess this is what you call "getting the best of both worlds", huh? No matter...my kids are enjoying playing in the snow just as much as hanging out in Florida with their friends. But me? I'd rather be at the Magic Kingdom....
