Galveston

A few weekends ago we took a last second trip to Galveston with Matt's family. Camryn had so much fun and is such a fish. She wanted to be in the water at all times and even went in in her clothes. Her first beach trip was a huge success!

Toronto

Matt and I headed to Toronto in July for a business trip. We opened a franchise called Tutor|Doctor (check us out at collegestationtutors.com) and they are based in Canada. This was my first time leaving Camryn so it was really hard for me but I know it was good for the both of us. We were in training for 10 hours a day so we did not get that much free time. Our last day there we only had a half day so that evening we headed to downtown Toronto. I was so excited to sightsee and shop but everything closes at 6 on Saturdays (even the mall and starbucks closed at 8!) so we took a Hippo tour (land and water) to see everything then headed back for our 4:30 a.m. wake up call. I loved having time with my hubby but wish it could have been on a beach with no classes!!

Baby W

Camryn has something to share with y'all!



She is going to be a big sister!! Baby W is due Feb 26! We are so excited to make this family of 3 a family of 4!

Braves Game!

Hang on with me for a second...Matt's dad's cousin, Frank Wren, is the GM of the Braves. He is kind enough to give us tickets every time they come to town and we always have so much fun at the games. Between this and Koby's games our little miss is sure to love baseball!!





My favorite

And the Braves won!

Disney's Epcot

Epcot was a great half day park! Unless you want to explore every bit of every country in the world.




We did the Seas with Nemo and friends first because Camryn had not napped yet. We did the clam ride and that was really neat and C enjoyed it. Then we walked around the aquarium and Cam said "oh wow" to everything. The sea horses were my favorite thing! There was so much to do in here and it was air conditioned!




Can you guess what country we are in??? I tried to make this my motto for the trip (maybe it should be for life)!






Here are some shots from around the world...I took a ton but these are my favorites




Camryn slept through all of the world. It was really neat how authentic every country was. If we had more time and hadn't already eaten it would be neat to sample some food from some of the countries. They all have restaurants, shops and music, it is quite the cultural experience. Not much for little kids though.



I wish C would have been awake to get her picture taken with Beauty and the Beast! I love this movie. There were a few character picture spots here, like snow white and the Disney Channels new bear Duffy (I hadn't ever heard of him) so you could entertain the little ones with this!

We really enjoyed Epcot but glad we didn't give it a whole day! This concludes our Disney trip! We had so much fun and it is something we will never forget and have lots of pictures to show Camryn. If you are headed that way let me know and I will give you any tips I can!

Disney's Hollywood Studios

We split a day between Hollywood Studios and Epcot. I would have like a little more time at Hollywood Studios because there are shows that play at certain times and lots of things to fast pass.





Camryn loved Disney Jr Live on Stage. It was a show with a bunch of the Disney channel's morning shows (which we watch when she first gets up every morning) so it was familiar to her. She knew the characters and songs and just danced around during the whole thing. While we did this Matt and Koby were doing the Tower of Terror, I was bummed Matt missed out on seeing her watch this but we have it on video! We also did the Little Mermaid show, Camryn liked parts but also got scared. Some was computerized then there were real people and real wind and rain. When the rain started Cam was not a fan of that. Most of the shows I would not take her back to until she was a little older...She kept saying "Out, out" during them. We also went to the stunt car show, that was really neat to see all that goes into filming an action movie. I wish we could have done more but time just wouldn't let us do everything here.



No thank you, glad I had Cam to get me out of this!



Love this show

Disney's Magic Kingdom

We loved Magic Kingdom! This park by far has the most rides, and stuff for the smaller nuggets!



We took the Ferry ride to Magic Kingdom, you can either do that or the mono rail (which we rode on the way back)



Right as we walked into Magic Kingdom and headed down main street the Move It, Shake It parade started. Camryn loved this she was dancing all around and all the characters from everything Disney were on the floats (once again I will spare you all the pictures)




Yes I would like to live here, or at least go inside...Next trip




Riding the go carts with daddy




Camryn loved most of the rides! The tea cup and carousel were her favorite! It's a small world and Peter Pan she liked and disliked...I loved Peter Pan and we totally lucked out getting to go on it. We got there early afternoon and tried to fast pass it but the fass pass wasn't until 7:30-8:30 and we had a Bomber dinner so we couldn't stay that late and the wait time was 75 minutes. We went to park our stroller for It's a small world and the Disney Worker asked if we were headed to Peter Pan. I replied that I wished we were but we weren't going to be there late enough to get the fast pass and the wait was too long for Camryn. He then handed me 3 fast passes for us to go straight in. I was so happy and thankful, everyone was telling us how great it was and I was so worried Cam would miss out. She got a little scared a few times...It is really dark and like you are flying but it was so neat. Then It's a small world is a boat ride and you go through a bunch of different worlds, it is amazing how much work and detail they put into everything. We skipped the snow white show because it looked a little scary and the dumbo ride had too long of a wait. Camryn really enjoyed this part of the park! It was perfect for the kiddos.



Little Miss was exhausted!




Meeting Mickey and Minnie Mouse again! She was so excited and ran up to them, gave hugs and high fives, she did not want to leave them!





Meeting the Princesses! Camryn wasn't really into this at all but I figured in a year or two she would think it was so cool. When we got to the first princess she said "No, No Mimmy" she just wanted Minnie not these ladies. She warmed up a little...



Mono rail back to the tram to take us to our cars! Magic Kingdom by far took the most transportation to get to and from the park! Glad we had the Story clan to keep us company!



When we made it back to the car Koby decided it would be fun to see what Cam did with his jawbreaker...she LOVED it and made a mess. After he wished he hadn't given it to her because she slobbered all over it, I'm not sure what he thought would happen!

We loved Magic Kingdom! It is an all day park for sure and just make sure to map out your fast passes! It is great for the little ones but also has a bunch of rides for bigger kids!
