Disney Trip- Downtown Disney Day

We took a family vacation to Disney World!!!!   The trip was also a part of Eden's 5th birthday celebration!  We left the afternoon of Feb. 15th to go to Orlando, FL.  We stopped in Jackson, MS to stay at my Uncle Joe and Aunt Karla's house for the night.  Then we took off on Saturday and made it all the way to Orlando.  We didn't really think we would make it all the way there so when we got there we didn't have a hotel reservation for anywhere.  That proved to be a problem because it was President's Day weekend and no hotels had rooms except The Peabody Orlando.  Not exactly what we wanted to pay for less than 12 hours in a room but it was nice and a room to sleep in.

 My parents went with us so we had help with the girls, especially Harper, which was super duper nice to have! We couldn't have survived without them and their help with Harper (who was a mess)!!!!  Since we got to Orlando early we had Sunday to do whatever we wanted.  We went to Downtown Disney that day to hang out before we could check into our place for the week.  After we checked in, we met my college friend and sweet mate, Hannah, and her family for dinner.  I hadn't seen her in forever and it was so good to catch up and see her and her family.  They live in Lakeland, FL which isn't too far from Orlando.  I'm so glad we could work it out for us to meet up.  Thank you, Hannah, for dragging your family out to meet mine=)

 Harper really enjoyed playing with all the Lego's they had out to play with.

 Eden and Anna Kate had a big time together.  They are close in age.

Thanks so much for making time for us!!! I'm so used to getting on FB and seeing that friends I haven't seen in ages are just down the road at Disney, and even though I totally GET that it's not a time to call old school buddies, it's still makes me kinda blue sometimes. Meeting your girls has been a goal of mine for some time now! I love how Eden and AK hit it off... we need to plan many more reunions!
