We had a “family reunion” of sorts in Orlando the week before Christmas. The kids got to see their only Aunt, Uncle and Cousin. We stayed at a big house in Orlando and had a great time visiting the Disney parks and hanging in our own pool. Here are a few highlights of the trip.

Where is everyone else you ask...aren't there 14 of you on this trip..."they" were resting, relaxing and enjoying a cup of coffee. Not us-this isn't a spa holiday.


The Adventurers-up at the crack of dawn-go-go-go be the first in line.

Rides-rides and more rides. Our kids LOVE rides-the faster the better. We maximized our ride opportunities with my expert touring plans-not for the faint of heart…or for those who want a relaxing vacation.

The girls had a makeover at the Bibbidi Bobbidi Boutique-inside of Cinderella's Castle no less. “J” chose pink hair extensions. And “M”,cousin-of-a-cousin, went with traditional brown.
