We got back from our week in Orlando late last night. We had such a great time! The Przylucki girls (Uncle Tom couldn't make it but we missed him!) came down for a few nights and we had a blast. It was a vacation of firsts for Gracie. She took her first airplane ride on which she slept for the first half an wiggled around in our arms for the second half- no crying! She went swimming for the first time, she loves the pool but was scared of the ocean. She crawled forward for the first time. It was really more of a flop forward, but hey at least it is in the right direction. She is also cutting her first tooth!

We spent a couple of days just lounging by the pool and drinking margaritas. We also had a beach day and a shopping day at the outlet mall. The guys went golfing and to the Nasa space center. On Monday we all went to the Universal Islands of Adventure roller coaster park. They have an option for people with babies that allows one person to go to the front of the line and wait with the baby while the rest of the group rides. When the ride is over you swap babysitters and ride again. This worked out great for us because we all got to ride all of the rides. We ate lunch at Jimmy Buffett's Margaritaville and ran around the park for the rest of the day. At one point it rained and the park cleared out so there were no lines. Although she was too small for the rides, Gracie spent the day napping in her stroller and smiling at strangers. She almost made it onto the merry-go-round but they kicked her off because she was not wearing shoes! Grandpa Steve didn't agree with this at all so he talked them in to letting her back on. We spent the last day by the pool followed by a truly unforgettable seafood dinner at Downtown Disney- the perfect end to a wonderful trip!
