Orlando, you're so good to me.

Leaving our sweeties was the hardest thing. We planned well and laid them down for naps right before we left for the airport, the poor dears had no idea their parents were leaving them! Of course when they woke up to grandma and papa, I don't think they really cared. Those kids were so loved and well taken care of in our absence! (As far as we know ;)) the first day in Orlando we spent at universal studios island of adventure with Stephens brother Rob (aka our photographer) we had a ball! We ran all over that theme park getting drenched and almost puking, eating delicious food and BUTTER BEERS from Harry Potter land! Holy smokes. They make it into this slush/freeze thing and it's shortbread flavoring with butterscotch and whip cream all mixed up. HEAVEN. We sucked those down and then rode the castle ride 4 more times and THAT my friends is when I about hurled. That ride is hard to decribe! Unlike any ride I've ever even heard of. If you are ever in Florida GO. It was a dream come true. Stephen and I didn't realize till that moment how nerdy we were. We love HP. We totally Greeked out and it was AWESOME! Confession: we came home and had a HP marathon. Nerds I know!! There was also a Dr. Suess land that we were in love with, super hero land with hulk iron man spider man... It was all so cool. Then of course Jurassic park land! That was really neat too. Of course we took a few pics to send to our sweet Hinder. And we found some cute minion onesies from despicable me and had to get them for charlee and bear. Universal was amazing and we will definitely be going back with the kids someday. There are dozens of parks there it will be hard to choose next time!  

DISNEYWORLD!!! Fun fact about me, I had my first Disney experience when I was 22. That's right. I had to get married and get another set of parents who finally took me. And this time those sweet in law parents took me to Disney world! It was incredible. We went to magic kingdom which is very simular to Disney land, just on a grander scale. Sleeping beauty's castle is like 30 ft taller! But I will say Disney land is better kept and more updated. We had 2 of Stephens brothers and a brother in law and a nephew and 2 of his sisters, grandma and his parents with us. We were quite the crowd. But with a stroller and a wheelchair we moved to the front of every line! It was awesome! I had the best time. We got asked if we were on our honeymoon a few times, and truly it felt like it! It's a weird feeling to not have your kids with you. Part is torturous, wanting to squeeze their little bodies and kiss their little faces... Part freeing! I felt rather liberated at the theme parks. It was day 3 and on that I was missing them bad and wishing we brought them. Oh well, next time we will bring them and they will be old enough to actually enjoy it!

The absolute most fun pre wedding bonding experience ever! Thanks for getting married Jen;)
