Animal Kingdom

By -

 We spent our last park day at Animal Kingdom. We parked at Unicorn P and the kids thought that was hilarious!

Animal Kingdom had a really early park opening at 7 am. We were up at 5 to get there for rope drop, but it paid off with a short wait for Flight of Passage and it was an awesome ride! It really felt like you were flying on the back of a large creature. 





Sis was very scared to ride Kali River Rapids and really annoyed when she got wet! I used to feel that way as a kid too! Sorry mom and dad!






Dinosaur was a fine ride with a few thrills in the dark!


Sis enjoyed her popcorn. Where did the lid fall off now?

Sis loved getting stamps in her Wilderness Explorer activity!




Sis saw an activity for a drawing class and we joined in! Charlie was a little frustrated with trying to follow the instructor and wanting a perfect piece. The rest of us didn't take it so seriously and enjoyed our Minnie drawing. 

We gave Triceratop Spin a whirl!

We rode Dinosaur again and were thankful our crew made it back safely!


With time to spare before the show, we enjoyed a Mickey ice cream. 





Score for us! We saw Kite Tails. The first time, they abruptly stopped the show because a kite was tangled. A little while later we saw the full show.





We enjoyed shows like Tough to Be a Bug and Festival of the Lion King. We barely made Lion King and ended up with a front row seat! 

Sissy's popcorn lid was stuck in the chain doorway at the wild birds!

Charlie loves to find a good nook to tuck in!

Perched on a rock to enjoy a cinnamon roll for breakfast. 



We had a great safari guide! she was funny, knowledgeable, and when my phone fell between the cars she used a hook to retrieve it!





Those crocodiles!



Our last ride of the night was not a good one. The ride was a slow moving boat ride in Pandora that we waited a very long time to ride! As if it was planned, the popcorn bucket lid fell off into the water as Sarah Graves got off the boat!


Six consecutive park days and we made it! We had a great time, our feet hurt, and we made lots of memories together!

Frozen Party Details

Like most girls her age, Sarah Graves LOVES Frozen and has known for quite some time that she wanted a Frozen birthday party. I was so excited when I saw this invitation on Etsy and she loved it too! It reminded me of an infographic. The Frozen theme was a lot of fun! There were so many things to choose from that I took to pinterest and eventually decided on the ideas that I would use for this party. I found this great Arendelle banner here on Pinterest I was so grateful that my sister did a snowflake Christmas and had tons of snowflake ornaments to hang as decorations! This party theme was a lot of fun to plan the food. Kristoff's ice cubes were made from Jell-o with an ombre effect. I found the recipe here on Pinterest. I doubled the recipe to make a 13x9 size pan of it and I made 2 13x9 pans of it. The made plenty of "ice cubes" to fill 35 cups. They turned out really cute! My parents made this Elsa cake and did a fabulous job

Cloth vs. Disposable

By -
We have mostly been planning to do disposable diapers because I felt that cloth would just be too much work when I go back to work.  Then, we saw these diapers called happy heiny's ( www.happyheinys.com ).  These looked much different than what I envisioned cloth diapers to look like.  Mom used cloth diapers with me and Jeanne', so she felt totally up for using them while Sarah Graves is at her house.  I started looking into the cost comparison and depending on what type of cloth diapers you buy, you can save anywhere from $1200 - $1700.  That is pretty attractive, not to mention knowing that you aren't filling up a landfill somewhere.  There are lots of different varieties of cloth diapers out there, but the ones that seem to be a good investment and user friendly are diapers that have snap closures, with a pocket for an insert to absorb the contents, and they are one size that adjusts as your baby grows from a newborn up to 35 pounds.  You can also purchase the traditio
