4th of July

We had fun 4th of July! 
We went to the Lakewood Parade in the morning and then stayed up to watch fireworks. This year Charlotte got to enjoy it. I think she had a lot of practice from Disney World to prepare herself for the action.

Disney World

I'm just going to apologize upfront for posting so many pictures. But, when you take 205, 40 doesn't seem like too many (and, I'm bad at weaning!!).


We just got back from a fun filled trip to Walt Disney World with Justin's family. We went to celebrate his Mimi's 80th birthday. She is the biggest kid of us all and not only had a blast, but stayed out late each night closing the parks down!! Her energy and spirit is contagious!! We love MIMI!!

Charlotte had a wonderful time too. She was such a good girl throughout the week. She loves to go go go! When we'd leave the hotel room in the mornings, she'd run out shouting, "GOOOOOOO!"

She got to ride a lot of rides and saw some really great shows including: The Little Mermaid, Nemo, and Mickey Mouse Clubhouse.

We all loved watching Charlotte experience the magic of Disney World. We can't wait to go back!!

however, it didn't last long!

Charlotte found the fountains EVERYWHERE!

Random people would stop and watch her play in the water. She was having a blast!
