Yikes!

What has happened to our blogging y'all? It's been like a month! What this blog really needs is an obscene number of newborn baby pictures ;) Until then I'll fill in and post some of my favorites from our Florida trip! Wait, what?! Florida?? Yeah Preston decided to gift himself a trip to Disneyworld after finishing the first half of his boards. It was very last minute, VERY. We bought the tickets about a week before we left - thank you spirit for always having insanely cheap tickets.

So we did have to go to a timeshare presentation in order to afford the disneyworld tickets and hotel. We got a great deal and we ALMOST bought a timeshare. I mean seriously we were THIS close. We went into it saying, "why do they even do these presentations, people just come to get the free stuff, no one really buys into all this timeshare stuff, right?!" And there we were agonizing over the decision for like 45 minutes. They made a lot of great points and we might do it someday but in the end we couldn't do it. It wasn't 10 minutes after we left that we were both like, "oh my gosh I can't believe we almost just did that! Yikes."

Anyhow, because of that we got a slow start on our first day and so we HAD to stay late to get the most of our day at Magic Kingdom. We stayed until midnight and somehow Ruby kept it together. We tried to get in all the classics - dumbo, winnie the pooh, small world, tiki room, etc... But we started with the tea cups which may have been a major mistake since Preston went crazy spinning us and I felt dizzy the rest of the day :) Ruby loved it.

Day 2 - Epcot. Half the park is "future world" but the other half is a "world showcase." You get to travel through several different countries - super cool. They have food and buildings that represent those places and EVERYONE working there is actually from that country. In one day we travelled through Japan, China, Canada, UK, Morocco, Mexico, Norway, France, Germany, America.

When in Japan...do as the asian's do :) Peace. 

Mexico!

Day 3 - Water park. We were SUPER bugged with Florida weather because the first day it was for sure not suppose to rain, and it did. day two was suppose to be sunny and warm - around mid day we had to share sweatshirts because it was cloudy and freezing. Day four was suppose to be cold and highest chance of rain so we decided day 3 would be best for the waterpark. It ended up being the coldest day and day 4 was GORGEOUS! Needless to say there were NO lines at the waterpark and most of the lifeguards were in winter coats, but Ruby LOVED it. We warmed up with a very large, very delicious funnel cake!

Don't freak out mom she's wearing a life jacket! And she actually did go on this slide again and loved it. We were surprised at how much she liked the slides. We tried to take her to do other things but she kept saying, "slides? slides."

We couldn't stay all day - too cold. So we left early and drove to the temple. We took turns running in and Ruby LOVED hanging out on the grounds.

Day 4 - Animal Kingdom. This park was insane. They make it to feel like a real jungle so you honestly can't see beyond 20 feet because there are thick trees and bushes and flowers everywhere. We saw lots of cool animals - favorites were tamarins, komodo dragon, bats, and hippos. We enjoyed our safari and took turns going on the rollar coaster that was awesome and even had a part where you went backwards.

The dragon is on the rock. Hard to see.

You could easily lose a child in this park! Ruby climbed into some trees. Can you see her little green pants in the middle of this picture?

It was a VERY busy trip but super fun. Ruby seemed a little overwhelmed by it all but was a super champ and is now obsessed with minnie mouse (although when she actually met her she got super scared and tried to punch her in the nose :)

This is pluto trying to recover after getting an uppercut from the Rubes :)
