Rogan's first vacation

We have returned from Florida. The weather was wonderful and we made it there all in one piece. The flight there was any thing but uneventful but the rest of the week was amazing. Grayson did great on the flight there and back. I was so proud of him and considering Rogan is just a baby well he did pretty good also. We had such a great time! Our resort has added a few new things since we last visited. We rode these paddle boats in the shape of a swan on the lake, it was so fun and they also added a dinosaur putt putt course along with a movie theater. One of the evenings, I took Grayson there to see a movie (our date night).

The boys both had a great time at Disney. Our first day in Florida we hung out around our resort recovering from the flight and preparing for our trip to Disney. After a restful day at the pool, we headed over the Market Place at Disney and ate at the new restaurant that is like the Rain Forrest Cafe but all about dinosaurs. The anamatronics were breath taking. Rogan cried not because he was scared but because he did not want to eat for fear he might miss some thing. He wanted to walk around all the different areas and see all the dinos! The food portions were huge and the taste was even butter.

The boys also had breakfast with Minnie, Goofy and Pluto. Marc and I enjoyed it as much as the boys. The breakfast was delicious. The following day, we went to Disney. Grayson was so excited. He and Rogan had their autograph books with them. We took the boys to my favorite ride as a child...'It's a small world'. Rogan just loved it along with big brother Grayson who had already been on the ride his first time to Disney. Rogan also rode the 'Peter Pan' ride and the 'Pooh Bear Ride'. Rogan lasted until about 3:00 which we were very proud of. We headed back for nap and Marc and Grayson went back and headed over to MGM Studios. They were trying to make it until the fire works but Grayson was too tired. Grayson did ride "The Tower of Terry," translation...'The Tower of Terror.' For those of you that do not know what that ride is, look it up! I could not believe Marc took him on that and yes, he told on Daddy as soon as they walked in the door.

We also went to 'Typhoon Lagoon'. I remember going there also with my family and just loving it. We all had a blast! We could not have asked for better weather, maybe a bit cooler but hot and sunny was great! They have every thing one could imagine in a water park and then some. You know Disney... every thing must be like a dream in paradise. We spent lots of time in the water and seeing all the sites on our check list and things to pick up. We had to stop off and get Rogan his own set of Mickey Ears with his name embroidered.

So yes we are home and yes we missed our home but still have Mickey blues. It has been hard this week so far getting back to one set of hands all day instead of two. Marc is always such a big help. Back to the 'real world' in stead of Disney..."Where Dreams do Come True" as they say. You really do feel like a kid again and while we were waiting on the ferry boat to take us to the 'magic island of Disney' they were playing over the speakers the Disney CD we have been listening to for months and dancing to getting ready for our special trip. Grayson is already asking when we are going back. We plan on going again around the same time next year. :) Enjoy the photos of our family memories of our trip to Disney and Rogan's first vacation.
