Wow I never get to do the photos. OK this is my sis and niece heading off to sunny Florida!
This would be Ashley’s first ever plane ride.
I really didn’t know how well this was going to go, but so far so good.
Hilda (nickname for sis) sends a pic to Uncle Scott.
There was a reason I wanted her near the window.
But as luck would have it, another little girl (Skylin, same age!) was sitting right in front of us.
Our first nite with Gram, and we went to one of my fav local place, Phillipi Creek.
I might also mention this was the only nite out of 4 that Ashley behaved at dinner.
For posterity. Kelli went with her sister and Ashley to see her grandmother. Click Here for those pictures.
Yum, ice cream (she never let me have the couch to myself).
Hilda takes a relaxing shower. Apparently thats hard to do when you have kids.
Oh this was our first ride at Disney. Who doesn’t love spinnin’ the teacups?
These evil stepsisters were hilarious. I could have just stood around watching them.
This was Ariels Grotto. Apparently she is a big deal if you’re 4. We waited over an hour for this.
It was definitely the highlight of her day.
We saw almost every attraction there.
You do weird things with a toddler in tow. This was Storytime with Belle.
The group shot.
Scott inserts an obligatory photo. I imagine this is what he was doing while I’m at Disney.
We rode Its a Small World. Twice. I feel asleep. Twice.
We stayed for the parade and fireworks. I had forgotten how cool the electric light parade was.
All of the lights were so dazzling. We couldn’t stop watching.
The next day we took Ashley to Siesta Key for the first time.
She loves this bathing suit.
Look at these beach bums.
I took Ashley out to the deep because I believed her when she said her mom told her it was OK.
The next day we played it safe and went to the pool. Check out the matching hairdos, natch.
Hilda models her first ever designer swimwear. Loves it!
Yet again she is invading my space.
Ashley will do anything to avoid bedtime.
I think she’s counting down the hours til we leave.
After an uneventful plane ride home, Ashley takes some pics.
Riley loves the sunroof.
Some things never change.
We decided our Florida trip was a nice getaway!
Ashley declares it a #1 vacation! (me, not so much:)
