Downtown Disney

Downtown Disney is a great place to go for good food, shopping and entertainment.







These are all made out of legos! Unbelievable! They change them out, I'm not sure how often, but the dragon (black) and the dogs were not there the first day we went. The dragon in the water is so cool! I was mesmerized! You have to have a lot of patience to do this! Not my cup of tea!








Live, Love, Eat basically sums up what we did here! We ate at the Fulton's Crab House one night, I'm not one for sea food but everyone loved it and I ate the biggest pork chop I have ever seen. It's right on the water and we were on the second floor right as the sun was setting! Beautiful! Then we headed to the Ghiradelli Ice Cream Parlor...amazing!



My favorite store ever! I love everything Christmas! Somehow (Matt) I left with just one ornament. Maybe if my suitcase wasn't already over weight and I didn't have to put stuff into my family members suitcases as we were checking in I would have done more damage.

Downtown Disney is a must, it is free to get into and there is so much to do. There is also a stage where disney songs and skits are performed. For those with little girls there is a princess themed store and for boys the lego store! There is also a part that is non-disney related shopping.

ESPN Wide World of Sports





My brother, Koby, is 11 and had his National Tournament at the ESPN Wide World of Sports. This complex is unbelievable, huge and can accommodate all sports. This is also where the Braves have their spring training. (for those that do not know we are big braves fans...i'll post on that after all the Disney)

The Boerne Bombers did great and we had so much fun with all the families! Matt was secretly pretending some of the boys were his. My parents are lucky he didn't take Koby with us when we left. He would go swimming with the boys and launch them in the pool, play basketball with them, and took them to one of the water parks. He was loving his life. Cam loved all the boys too! Surprisingly they loved her back, they always talked to her and taught her things and would come to our room to get her to play in the hall with them. And then there were all the sisters!! Lets just say Camryn made so many new friends and when we got home Monday she did not know what to think about just me and Matt! She keeps asking for her Boo Boo, that is what she called Koby. When she would see him out on the field playing she would just yell Boo Boo at him! It was so cute and he is such a great uncle who took wonderful care of her on the trip! We are looking forward to baseball season starting back up!!

Disney's Animal Kingdom



Animal Kingdom!




Tree of life! This tree is beyond amazing, the detail and creativity that went into had me in awe.



Safari! This was one of all of our favorite things! You get to see all kinds of animals (I will spare you all the pictures) and they are right there by you. A must if you go to Disney!



Train ride!





After the train ride to another part of the park it started to downpour. Thankfully we were inside but our stroller was not. We bought some ponchos just incase the rain was here to stay (and it was) Camryn did not like the poncho at all. The rain seemed to be something that would stay with us throughout our 10 day visit.






Characters!! I was a little worried Camryn would be scared of all the characters...I was wrong. She loved them. Especially Minnie who she calls mimmy. She would run up and hug them, blow kisses, wave and talked away to them. Hands down her favorite part was meeting all of them at the different parks.



The rain cut our trip to Animal Kingdom short...We didn't make it to Asia, where this mountain was. There are a few rides and cultural stuff which made me feel better because Cam didn't miss out on anything she could appreciate.

We really enjoyed Animal Kingdom minus the rain! It's a park you can do in half a day if you needed to. If any of you are planning trips to Disney World let me know and I will help you in any way I can!

First Flight



Camryn flew for the first time!! We headed to Florida with my family for my brother's national baseball tournament! Camryn was great on the plane! She laughed during take off and clapped. Then shortly after she fell asleep and woke up when we landed. We flew at night on the way there and in the morning on the way back. She slept the whole time both ways!

Happy 3 Years MEW!!



Today Matthew and I are celebrating our 3 year anniversary! He is such a wonderful husband and father and I have loved watching him take on those roles! God has blessed us so much and I can not wait to see what year 4 has in store! I know the media and hollywood are calling marriage "old fashion" and "a dying institute" but I believe in it with all my heart! Our Creator new exactly what he was doing!

Now...A little trip down memory lane



Proposal! Right after I stepped off a plane from Spain!

The best thing that has ever happened to us besides each other!!

I love you Matthew Edward Wren!!
