Blizzard Beach & 4th of July!!

We are officially moved into our new place which we LOVE! So after a few days of stressful packing and unpacking we decided we needed a little getaway. Rich's sister, Melanie and her family were on a family vacation in Orlando and were spending the day at Blizzard Beach at Disney World so we joined them! Blizzard Beach is the #2 water park in the U.S. We had such a great time.We didn't get many pictures but we did make a lot of memories hanging out with our family. We were so lucky to have a great friend watch our kids for the day so it was just the two of us...WOOHOO!! Thanks a million Lucy!

The next day was the 4th of July. Another great day with lots of fun times. We went over to our friends house for a shrimp and crab boil. I'm not a big seafood fan but this was delicious! We missed spending our usual 4th of July with Rich's family but this was definitely a good substitute. Great food with great friends!

Aidan couldn't get enough of the fireworks. He was completely fearless which kinda put a little added stress on me. He just followed the guys around with an unlit sparkler in his hand begging for someone to light it up for him. He was adorable.
When the fireworks display started both Aidan and Rich were mesmerized. Aidan stayed up way past his bedtime but enjoyed every minute of it!


Maya was asleep during the whole thing :( We missed her but know that she is going to have a blast next year. Happy 4th everyone!

Sounds like you had a blast. I need to get Hanalei to take a bottle so I can get a way too.

We missed you on the 4th! It wasn't the same without our "pyromaniac" son...Glad you have settled down to sparklers, Rich!!(Bet you are glad, too, Jessica) Looks like Aidan had fun and glad Maya was safe in bed...
