This is the first of probably several vacation posts...too much to cram into one blog!
Labor Day weekend, we headed back to our favorite place...Disney World. We went last year and had an awesome time, so we decided to do it all again...We didn't go alone this time - My sister Karen, her husband, Adam, and their son, Campbell also came along...
The drive is super long, but it is well worth it, once we get there. We hit quite a few snags this time...Ashleigh was really sick that morning, Kristen ended up saving the day and taking her to the doctor for me...she also cleaned out our car for the trip, kept Ashleigh all day, and finished some bows for the girls so that I could finish packing...the biggest snag was- my van, which has a ton of cargo space, was benched for this trip - it had to stay behind at the Dodge dealership for over two thousand dollars worth of repairs...we missed the space, but were so blessed that my parents had a van that we could use - that got us there safely...it also has better gas mileage than our van, so that helped the budget a little bit!
On the way, Clay looked into the backseat and found that Miss Troublemaker (aka Ashleigh) had gotten into my purse and painted herself with my lip gloss...Apparently, a 12 hour drive was a bit much to ask of this 2 year old!

We left on a Thursday afternoon and drove all night. We slept a few hours and then drove the next morning to the Orlando Temple. We visited the distribution center for some "supplies" and took a few pics...

Again, he didn't cooperate - but the rest of us look okay! |
After the temple, we went to lunch at a very overpriced McDonald's, then checked into our hotel.....
To BE Continued...
