Disney World Trip 2014

Here is a run down of our days at Disney. I tried to keep notes on my phone updated once or twice a day with our schedule. In hindsight that first day I wish we had spent checking out the resort and enjoying relaxing by the pool instead of rushing into the park since it closed at 7pm. Or if you have a late opening the day you arrive then spend time at the hotel on your departure day. We didn't leave until 8pm on last day so spent 7 hours in the park that day which was definitely worth it. Here is our vacation!

Ryan and Ethan ice bucket challenge

Over the course of the past month my two little guys have loved the endless videos on my Facebook displaying people who participated in the ice bucket challenge. So, Ryan was thrilled when his friend Hallie Menard challenged him to do the ice bucket challenge. He decided to nominate two friends from school, Makai Dye and Adeline Meinecke and of course his little brother Ethan. Ethan was excited to put "ice head" and willingly participated with his "bubba". Here is their video, enjoy!
