Spring Break '09

My mom and dad heading to the monorail for a day of fun.

Dad trying to wake me and my sister, Leigh, on our first morning. I was resistant.

Me, my brother Steven, and my sister planning what we were going to be doing.

My mom and dad called me up on April Fool's Day to see if I would be willing to house-sit for them while they went on vacation to Disney World. I obviously agreed seeing as I wouldn't want some random person to watch my house for over a week. My dad starts to giggle and as he's handing the phone to my mom says that he can't go through with it. My mom tells me that if I am going to go that far to watch their house, I might as well go with them. I was totally shocked. They had already called Cade to see if it would be alright and the sweet man that he is said "of course". So I left on the night of the 11th because my grandmother was going to be going with us and my siblings didn't know. After a horrid night of stand-by's and broken planes, I finally made it in at 3AM. I know. I looked like I had been hit by a bus, it reversed, and went again. But we had to leave by 3:30 to get to Orlando in enough time to enjoy the day. So I ran in the house, nearly giving my grandmother a heart attack, took a shower, and we headed off. It was such an amazing trip. We hadn't all taken a family vacation in a very long time. It was so much fun. We were able to take it slow because we were going to be there for 8 days. It was amazing. The food was so so good. The rides were awesome. I couldn't believe that I had been there only 4 months earlier with Cade. I had so much fun. Cade doesn't understand, but I grew up on Disney. I watched all the VHS over and over. I watched the Disney channel religously when I was younger. We went together 2 when I was growing up. It has a lot of sentimental memories for us. We were able to make it back 10 years later. It was an absolutely wonderful adventure to have with them.

I will post more pics next.
