The Lomax Lowdown: Disney 2010!!

We had a great long weekend to Orlando. It was a big family vacation and we had an awesome time.

Friday we arrived and hung out around the hotel and made a small outting to Downtown Disney.

Saturday we went to Sea World. We had a great time checking out the animals. Heather, Jason, and David rode on the Mantra which they say is awesome. I'm a bit skeptical - that looked quite treacherous to me! But it all started with an amazing breakfast with Elmo. Abby has a bit of a teen idol obsession with Elmo and she was thrilled to see him. She was a little scared of Grover at first, but in true Abby fashion didn't want him to starve so she gave him some food while screaming "No Way!!!!" It was awesome. Around lunchtime Brian and Katee met up with us. We LOVE KATEE!!! She is great and is super nice. She offered to hang out with me while Brian and David tried to ride the mantra. That night at dinner we asked Brian to be the baby's Godfather. It was a huge deal for us and for him. He was very honored. Brian is obviously now responsible for all backdoor dealings and "removals" that was need taken care of! Here are some pictures of SeaWorld.

The Whole Group!

Sunday was the Magic Kingdom. We started the day with a dancing in the streets parade which I found incredibly fun. However, I bowed out of the play at the castle because hot sun, no chairs, and pregnancy don't mix. After the parade we went to lunch and then got separated for awhile. However, we soon met back up for a chance to watch the Bears Jamboree! Then we watched a parade that I did not find so fun as it was miserably hot so I had to go sit somewhere I couldn't see anything. I am told the girls had a good time but I could have done without it! We did have a little scare on the Pirates of the Caribbean ride - note to self ladies: they have added a drop in the last year - I was totally unprepared for the drop. None of us expected it and the terror in David's and Daddy's faces were palpable. Thankfully it definitely woke the baby up and it went to town kicking! Hopefully for Mommy's hair color that meant it didn't like ride but then it will be half its Daddy child, so it might be a big fan. Ut oh!!!

The girls needed to go back to the hotel but David and I stuck around at the park. We had a blast riding all the kid rides. There is actually a surprising number of things to do while pregnant at the Magic Kingdom. I was impressed. Later that night Heather and Jason caught back up with us and the three kids rode the big rides. Ohh one last thing before pictures. David downloaded an iPhone app for my phone and it's pretty cool if you go to Disney. It shows the approximate wait times for all the rides. We found it be pretty accurate. It relies on people waiting for the ride to update it so I guess it's reliability could depend but my dorky husband was all about updating it!

What a cutie!

Monday we had breakfast at Chef Mickey's. The breakfast pizza was super awesome. The best part of Chef Mickey's though was finding a way to get Izzy to like me. When the options were hang out with me or Donald Duck I was her BFF! After that I was fine. Abby hung out with her buddy, Uncle David, quite a bit over the whole trip. They have the cutest little relationship. I can't wait to see him with his own kids! Here are the pics:
