wordless wednesday

you couldn't possibly have thought that i was done posting pictures of our disneyworld trip, right?

today i'm including some from the resort where we stayed.  i'm not going to even attempt to explain all the nuances of timeshares -- chris and i sat through a (surprisingly interesting) salespitch while we were down there to get $75 disney bucks and i think i left more confused than i was when i began -- but suffice it to say that my parents invited us down for week to florida FOR FREE.  we chose a place close to the parks that catered to young families, with two incredible pools, a miniature golf course, and more activities than anyone could possibly do in a day.  (karaoke!  volleyball!  campfire!  bingo!  movie night!  you get the idea.)

i'm glad we chose wisely.  because whenever liam is asked what his most favorite part of our trip was, he doesn't hesitate.  it wasn't the rides or the shows or the fireworks or the parades.  it was playing putt-putt.  (note to self: next year, buy him a pass to the local miniature golf place and save yourself a few thousand bucks.)

a huge thank you to my mom and dad for such a fantastic place to stay.  we loved every minute of it.

eating breakfast on the porch overlooking one of the pools -- not a bad way to start a february morning



if you look closely, the small blond head coming around the bend is liam, careening down the waterslide

this was more susanna's speed

the sign next to hole #1: "welcome to Putt of Course"

on every hole, our competitive son would ask chris what the par was. and on every hole, since no par was posted, chris would totally make one up. he has his Putt of Course scorecard displayed prominently in his bedroom to this day

we thought there would be no way they'd both finish the heaping mounds of ice cream dished out at the sundae party. somehow they managed to lick the bowls clean



i guess susanna wanted to work off some of those calories?
