Bouncy Bouncy....


It's another subpar weather day here in St. Louis so we decided to try out the local Pump It Up for some bouncy fun. It was great........and now it's naptime.











Long Weekend

My super cute baseball fan......... My jumping queen........
Mark, Beth, Abbey and Charlie the dog, came to visit us this weekend. It was a lot of ful and there was very little drama involved. The girls played and played.

Abbey and Layla
All the girls.
Two year old fun..
Jumpy Jumpy. Abbey loved to jump.

The girls needed an Elmo break. Playing is hard work.
Adam loves adventure.
Super cute tub time.

More outside playtime.
Mark, Beth and the crew.Layla warmed up to Charlie and doesn't seem to be afraid of dogs anymore. This is a goood thing. She happily pulled his tail and said "Hi Chuck, I get your tail". We didn't get any pictures of the girls swimming, but they did swim at Grandma and Papa's for a while on Sunday. The water was way warmer then the air at a toasty 88 degrees - thanks Papa!
It was a good weekend.

Disney World ........and Rain

So - the airport was fine. Hannah was way excited!

And her first view of the castle was awesome.......We loved the fairy ride over. The excitement is a lot for a little kid though. She could barely stand it.
We got there just in time for the parade. It was great.For her first ride - she picked the teacups. Daddy doesn't like to go in circles, but he did it happily - 3 times!

then came Dumbo...And the carousel.
We took a break in Ariel's Grotto to play for a bit and cool off.

and Mommy stood in line the while time so she could meet Ariel herself!
We headed over to toontown fair as the clouds rolled in...........We did the Goofy rollercoaster before the rain really set in. So we waited in line (inside) to meet the princesses.........It was raining really hard so we decided to wait in line to meet Mikey and Minnie....By 8:30, the fireworks were cancelled because of heavy rain and lightening so we headed back to the hotel for some sleep.........

The next day we got to the park early. It didn't rain for about 12 minutes and we got this picture.....
And we rode the magic carpets..........

But then, it rained.........and rained and rained and rained..............It was cold and pretty sad for Hannah.
We did get to it's a small world and the Monster's inc show which were fun.
About 1pm, Hannah had enough. She was tired of being wet and cold and she was just plain tired. Poor baby.
That night we went to the Hard Rock Hotel for some dinner with family.

Hannah got to meet her cousin who is 7 (and actually my first cousin) and her aunt. She had a great time.

Thank goodness our hotel room had a giant tub! At least she felt like she got to swim a little.........

So the trip was ok. Hannah had fun and will never know how much cooler it would have been if it didn't rain. I was very sad for a few days, but am recovering. We will go back again in a few years and hope for some better weather!
