Vacation to Florida~2011

I am just a wee bit behind in blogging. Life is so busy! Summer is half over. Back to school will be here in just a little over a month.

So much has happened already this summer, starting with our vacation way back in the first week of June. We decided to go back Florida to visit Danny's parents, see our old house, our old church, and of course...Disney World!

So without further ado, I give you a very long blog post documenting our 2011 Logan Family Vacation!

Starting off our trip, just a few minutes from our home, everyone is happy and getting along swell!

My sweet sister in law, Debbie, stopped by our house the night before we left and LOADED us up with ALL sorts of vacation snacks. THANK YOU DEBBIE! Those snacks lasted...hmm...about half way---just kidding, they lasted the whole trip!

We spent our first day in Florida visiting our old stomping grounds. We got up early in the morning and drove down to North Port. We spent the whole day there. Below is a picture of Margaux and Jane on the way back to Orlando, about 6:30 at night. I love these two baby girls so much!

Disney's Blizzard Beach!

I spent the day in the children's play area with those two sweet baby girls above. This was Jane's first time playing here. She LOVED it.

That night we went to Downtown Disney to eat and take Harry Jack to the Lego store. We also bumped into this new store called Ride Makerz, which is like a Build A Bear for boys of all ages. Danny had a weak moment, and both Dandan and Harry Jack ended up with new remote control cars that they made.

On to Hollywood Studios to pick up

a couple adorable Storm Troopers.

Dawn??? Where did you come from? Just kidding. My sister Dawn flew in to Orlando and went to Disney with us for a few days. It was so nice having an extra set of hands to help with the little ones. Thanks Dawn! Also, Dawn is "Singing In the Rain" here.

Magic Kingdom

This picture is funny! This lady next to Dawn kept getting in Dawn's personal space as we watched the parade. This lady was snapping pictures of EVERYTHING!!! I think she saw me trying to get a picture of her--I mean Dawn!

This picture of Danny makes me LAUGH! (He laughed too when he saw it. I was speeding past them in my little car as I took it.) The next picture of him below is even funnier!

Seriously! I am laughing! Aren't you?

Okay, funny story here with Jane crying. During this vacation we let Jane have her passy whenever she wanted it--basically for our sanity. (Side note: the passy is officially gone. Yes she had it longer than needed, but she is our baby, and...you know...). Anyway, back to the story. The day we went to Magic Kingdom, I forgot the passy. At Jane's melting point that day, Danny went to the baby care center and bought a $6.00 Nuk passy--not the kind she is used to, but it did the job. Well it kept falling out of her mouth because she was not used to a Nuk. It just so happened that just as we were getting on the "It's A Small World" ride, the passy fell out of her mouth, INTO THE WATER!!!!! We couldn't reach it. Long story short, our whole boat was serenaded to the sounds of Jane crying during the whole boat ride. When we got off the ride, there was a sweet lady who was on the boat in front of us, YELLING "GET THAT PASSY!" to a boat full of people just taking off for their boat ride, in which case Jane's passy was floating right along side of their boat. They got it and we waited for them to finish their ride, and a nice lady brought us Jane's Nuk. We saved that Nuk and have it in Jane's memory box. She calls it her "white passy from Disney World."

The next pictures are pictures of the pool/cabin at Disney's Fort Wilderness, basically for my sweet mother, who wanted to know what it looked like. (We loved Fort Wilderness Campground!)

(A Murphy Bed pulled out from that picture on the wall.)

We had a really fun trip. And most surprisingly, the many traveling hours spent in the truck were really nice!
