We are finally getting settled at home and back into our routine. We had two GREAT vacations in Orlando and Las Vegas! Our trip to Disney World was everything we thought it would be! We got there on Tuesday the 10th. When we arrived to the airport we went downstairs to the Disney World welcome center and rode a bus to the hotel. While they went and got our bags and delivered them to our room. It was nice not having to worry about picking them up! Right when we got to the hotel we checked everything out then decided to go buy our park tickets and check out epcot :). We went right to the Nemo show they have there and then walked around for a bit. Wednesday we went through Magic Kingdom, which was definitely our favorite place! The castle was beautiful! There were so many characters everywhere we went. MaKenzie ran up to every character giving them hugs and saying hi. Titan was not so sure about meeting them at first he walked up very slowly and cautiously. He soon started walking up and giving high fives but no hugs. Then soon after that some got hugs, some just got high fives. By the time we left all of the girls were getting kisses and the boys were getting hugs. Then Kenzie and Titan would stand next to each other turn around and smile. They were priceless to watch. Thursday we went to Animal Kingdom and then later in the night to Downtown Disney. Animal Kingdom was really neat! We loved walking around looking at everything. We went to the best musical we have seen. Finding Nemo. It was awesome! They also had an awesome play area called Dino Land which the kids had a blast in! Downtown Disney was a shopping and dinning area, but it was still a lot of fun! There were some neat things to look at and the kids loved the Lego Store! Friday we went to Hollywood Studios. They had American Idol there but we never got to see anyone! We took Kenzie and Titan to "play and dine" with Playhouse Disney! The characters would go around saying hi to everyone one by one while we ate. They loved it! We also watched lots of shows, met more characters and played in the "Honey I shrunk the kids" Playground, which was neat! Friday night we went back to Magic Kingdom to watch the night show they have which was beautiful we also went on a couple more rides. They have a neat pooh bear playground there! On Saturday we went back to Epcot and spent the time walking around there. It was more of a dinning and shopping theme park. It was still fun and had amazing views. It was beautiful! The weather in Orlando was beautiful. We were in the 70's and 80's the whole time and it never rained while we were out. It was perfect. We even went swimming a few times. Which we needed after a LONG day of walking. It was so nice to just relax at the pool! We left EARLY Sunday morning, but we had an amazing trip! We are lucky to be able to go on so many wonderful vacations! It was a great family vacation and we sure love having Daddy home with us!!!
We arrived in Las Vegas Sunday afternoon! We had a family BBQ and it was good to see everyone! We spent the first five nights at Aunt Dot's and the next 4 nights at Tarron and Chad's house. The Las Vegas vacation is kind of a blur. haha. We had several things to do every day and we were going non stop. We wanted to make sure we spent time with everyone!! We had a lot of fun though. We got to meet our little nephew Conor who was precious. We had a great BBQ. Some great dinners with both families. We had a snow day at Mt. Charleston which was a blast. We had a play date with my girlfriends which was awesome. We celebrated Alyvia's first birthday. Arek had a poker night with the guys. I had a girls night out while he was my sober driver. It was a lot of fun, great memories and so good to see everyone in Las Vegas. It's crazy going back there to VISIT. It's so weird living so far away from our family but we do love being out of Las Vegas!
Our flights home were nice! The first flight was 4 hours and all four of us were passed out within a half an hour and didn't wake up until the plane was landing. Then we had an hour lay over for potty breaks and a snack. Then an hour flight to Syracuse which Kenzie passed right back out on and Arek, Titan and I just hung out. It was so good to get back home and start getting settled and into our own beds and our routines.
We have been hanging out with our neighbors Marian and Kevin, having a good time! Getting ready for our puppy to come home with us next weekend. Getting all unpacked and the kids definitely love playing with their toys again :). MaKenzie and Titan both have a bad cough and runny noses. The climate changes are getting to them! We took Titan to the Doctor on Thursday for his 15 month check up. He is 23.3lbs and 31inches long. He had to get some blood work and he sat there without even a budge or tear. He just watched them. We have to go back on Monday for shots and I hope he handles that just as well :). Arek and I are doing good! Arek says "happy to be home, miss the family in Vegas, but love our neighbor's (the Singh's) here at Drum". All of our snow is melted we have like NO snow left on the ground. We don't know if we will be getting anymore. It's crazy it melted so fast and we actually see our grass!
We will update again soon. We hope everyone is going good!
