Southern Exposure

30th Birthday celebration in Orlando

My husband and one of my best friends happen to share the exact same birthday. This makes for very convenient party planning! In our minds, who better to share such an event then with Mickey Mouse himself at the Happiest Place on Earth! The Waggoner's flew from Washington to meet us in Orlando for a 4 day long birthday party. We stayed at an amazing resort (thanks again Ry and Shan) with better amenities than my future dream home, ate to our hearts content, and just enjoyed each others company. I don't think I've ever laughed more in my life. We left Hayley and Ethan behind at a friends house which made for an extra relaxing vacation. I've posted an obnoxious amount of pictures since this is my only journal and make no apologies for it!

The buildings behind us....our resort. Our room was right next to the pool.


The pool area...you can imagine how hard it was to leave this place


Let the competition begin...Corey really gave Zurg a run for his money with his buzz lightyear lazer gun

The birthday kids in all their glory!


In line at my favorite ride..Big Thunder Mountain

Us in action on Big Thunder

Isn't she just adorable?

I think we were riding Pirates of the Carribean. It was one of the few rides Brooklyn was able to ride with us
Going out for dinner at Red Lobster

The Orlando Temple....wow, was it beautiful!



We spent one of our days at Blizzard Beach which is one of our favorite water parks. Jeff was like a kid in a candy store at this place. It was so hard to keep up with him because he was practically running to every ride.



Brooklyn and her buddy, Corey


Riding the ski lift to the Summit Plummit.....SUCKAS!!

Brooklyn loved playing in the water

Lazy River time!

Here's a video of Karine, Jeff, and Corey going down Summit Plummit. I was trying to film with a camera in each hand so I drifted off while filming Karine.

Thanks Corey and Karine for a FABULOUS vacation! Can't wait till the next one! Happy 30th Jeff and Karine!

Hayley in all her cuteness

Just a cute video clip of my little Hayley Goose. She's growing up too fast!

Singing her favorite song by Alvin and the Chipmunks. She sounds just like a chipmunk too!
