1. Spending a whole week with the family. So nice to spend some time with everyone and to be able to relax and focus on the kids more than we are usually able to. So many wonderful memories to cherish!
2. Jackson's first visit to the ocean. He loved the beach and having the waves wash up on his toesies. You would have never known he had screamed the whole drive over (never wake a sleeping baby - and then make them sit in a car seat for 45 minutes - lesson learned)!
3. Flying...well not my personal favorite as I'm not a big fan of the whole being five miles off the ground, but definately a favorite for Grace. She thought the whole thing was completely awesome! I can't believe I didn't get a picture of Jackson's first time flying! He did a great job on the plane, but the little stinker had a dirty diaper both times! Changing diapers on a plane takes a certain skill - Jordan and I are now certified!
4. Seeing the sharks at Sea World. Although she was a bit apprehensive at first, one of Grace's favorite parts of our trip was seeing the sharks. She used her allowence to get this shark stuffed animal. She has been sleeping with it every night...This is the same girl that is often Princess Frostine or Princess Aurora!
5. Playing in the pool at the condo. Despite how cold the pool was, the kiddos looked forward to their afternoon swim everyday - even Jackson! Grace really surprised me with how well she is getting at swimming!
6. A papa to snuggle with! Such a sweet sweet sight! Jackson fell asleep on Grandpa twice - at Epcot and Animal Kingdom.
7. Hanging out with the boys. Jackson loved hanging out with Caleb and Luke at the condo and was so excited to see them every morning. Oh the fun he is yet to have with them!
8. Animal Kingdom. We went to the Animal Kingdom last - you could say it was Grace's "saving park". She was most looking forward to this part of Disney. It did not let us down. The highlight was definately the safari ride, specifically seeing the elephants.

9. The fireworks and laser show at Epcot. This picture is of the kiddos snuggling before the show started. Soon after Jackson fell asleep and stayed sleeping through the whole show! Grace was very brave and loved the fireworks (although I did cover her ears for the really loud ones)! She said she liked the music the best.
10. Rides at Magic Kingdom. Grace's favorites were the Dumbo ride, Alladin's Magic Carpet Ride and the Tea Cup Ride. The parade at the end of the day was also a highlight for all of us.
