Justice served his mission from 2002-04 in Orlando Florida then he came home and a month later met me!! :)
We have always talked about going back but Idaho was a ways away so when we moved to NY and it was only an 18h drive we decided to go for it!
and what made it even better was my old roommate Kyrie and her family live in NC which was an almost exact half way point and they were gracious enough to let us stay the night there and back.
We had a ton of fun visiting with Aaron and Kyrie and Izaac and Cora did really well playing with their two boys Arick and Ethan. We had a blast thanks for letting us stay guys!
Kyrie doing the brunt work of pushing the kids to the park and Ethan being a trooper stuck in his seat while the other kids play
Can you hear me??
...
There were all these signs for "South of the Boarder" theme park so we thought it must be amazing and we should defiantly stop... at the most ghetto rundown deserted park ever!
Our condo that we rented! It was really fun and had a pool out the back that we got to ourselves so it was perfect for us and only $80 a night so we were really excited about it!
...
We went to Medieval Times restaurant and we all loved it! Izaac was terrified at all the smoke and fighting at first but really liked the falcon and horse shows.
They give you a coloured crown and a knight to cheer for and ours just so happened to be the evil knight. So we cheered for the knight really loudly, and Izaac got really into it and would scream a death scream instead of cheering, I guess he thought any scream would be good in this situation.
Cora got a flower form our knight when he won a game
"I can't see the camera mom"
Visiting Justices old missionary appt, right before going to the beach look how excited Izaac is not to be at the beach yet!
We had a great time at the beach, we all love the water and it was really fun not to have to avoid trash on the beach and in the water like we do around Staten Island :)
Cora loved to float on the boogie board but Izaac was too scared, he much rather pull us on it
We went to church in the Conway ward and got to visit with a few of the people form Justices Mission, most had moved on but there were a few around
We went to see the temple grounds after church.
...
The church and school where Justice spent the Hurricanes on his mission
Another old Appt
If you look close you can see the Zebras!!! yes Zebras! This is the home of a Bishop that Justice served with that owns Zebras, I wanted to stop but he felt bad being unannounced. I was dying to pet the Zebras maybe next time :)
Cockroach... Ewww...
Swimming at the pool in "our" house
Disney World!!!
My kids were super stoked to see Mickey and Minnie but choked at the last minute and were too scaired to talk to them.
If you asked Cora what she wanted to do the rest of the day it was "talk to Mickey"
Minnie hiding form Cora's cries
Once Izaac saw this boat he was stuck... Literally we waited for an hour for him to get board before having to drag him away, three little spouts from the ground would have entertained him for the entire day... hum so would the hose in the back yard... why did we come to Disney World again?? :)
Princesses!
My kids didn't like talking to any of the characters so this is the last stop we made for that but I thought it was fun!
Parade!
Tweedle Dee or Dum tried to get Cora to smile for a really long time he just kept standing there waving at her with his little finger. It was really funny
This is the face she gave him,,, No smile for you, but when he finally walked away she waved
I took Cora back to see Mickey and Minnie at the end of the night because she had been asking all day but again she was too scaired... oh well what can ya do.
...
We got to visit with Justices "Mission Mom" Kristin Pereza
We had a lot of fun Visiting and the kids had a great time with her toy box it was the perfect end to our trip.
We definently didn't want to go home.
