Florida Escape

Kris had a work conference in Orlando so I got to tag along for 4 days! It was LOTS of fun! Thanks to our sisters for watching the kids so we could have this little getaway!
The conference was held at the Disney Swan hotel so we got to stay there....It was beautiful!
This is the view from our window

We spent the evenings going out on the town

and enjoying the boardwalk and downtown Disney
I got to spend the day reading gossip magazines, listening to good tunes and soaking in the sun at the pool......







Two of Kris' coworkers from his Denver office also brought their wives so we had fun hanging out together. We laid by the pool one day and went shopping one day.
The last night there we headed over to the Magic Kingdom


I LOVED the castle at Disneyworld! We definitely missed out girls here....they would have loved every minute of it....well minus the HEAT and HUMIDITY and the LINES at the park. The park was open until 3 am for guests of the Disney hotels so we did our best to be party animals but only lasted until 2 am!


Our last day there we took the little water ferry from our hotel over to the boardwalk and had lunch


Then headed home to the dry heat! Thanks Kris for letting me vacation while you worked!

Final 4th Fun

The final celebration was in Provo.. Grandma and grandpa took the kids to the balloons in the morning and then we all went to the parade.





I was having fun experimenting with my new close up lens...


I loved this special needs troop that was in the parade

The primary childrens float was a favorite with how to train your dragon theme

Then we headed back to grandmas where they had rented this fun bounce house that was also a water slide....the kids LOVED it! Between that and the pool, they were literally outside swimming for 10 hours straight that day!











After swimming and dinner we had fireworks and treats...including the cotton candy machine Kris' uncle always brings!



Kris and I were engaged 11 years ago on this day!!
