Our Last Hurrah

...for a little while. This week we spent a few days at Disney World! It was kind of a spur of the moment trip. Steve had just finished a month-long conference and we had wanted to get one last little trip in before baby #2 arrives. Also, Monday was my birthday AND we got a great last-minute deal at Shades of Green, so it all worked out fabulously. :) This week in November is supposedly one of their least busiest times of the year, and really the wait times were pretty good. The weather was beautiful in the low-80's, however, we were totally unprepared and had packed winter-like clothing. We had even checked the weather throughout the week, but I guess we should have checked the weather the day of. Needless to say, we had to do a little summer clothing shopping. Wouldn't you know...they don't sell maternity clothes! Oh well, I managed to get by in the 3 days we were at the parks.
This was the 3rd time Christian has been to Disney World (he also went to Disneyland at 2 months!) It becomes more and more fun each time we bring him. This time he was walking more and we were able to do and see more things. He especially enjoyed the miniature trains and "the Seas with Nemo and Friends" at EPCOT, and "It's a Small World," "the Many Adventures of Winnie the Pooh," and "the Buzz Lightyear" ride at the Magic Kingdom. He repeatedly said, "adain (again)" and "ride" and "go" on this trip. So fun to see the wonder through his eyes.

Overall, we had a great family time. Lots of walking as expected and somehow at 32 weeks I survived the heat and exhaustion. We are really glad that we took advantage of the opportunity since we are unsure of when the next time we will travel.
