Cousins at Disney World!!!!

When I was a child, we lived pretty far away from all our relatives. That meant when we got to see family, we had fun! Our girls lived far away from their relatives as well, due to military life. When we found out cousins were coming to town, we had to get together! Our first plans got a little messed up, but we came up with a great second plan...

Jennifer, Kevin and Isabella Kramer, all Ohio relatives, were visiting Disney World. We gave them a call at the last minute to try to make new plans. Ah ha! Tricia, Kaylie, Makenzie and I headed over to the All Star Movie Resort to meet up with the Kramer's. First we ate a fun dinner, and then we were off to the pool! This place has a great pool. In the middle of it is Mickeys Magic Waterfall. Tricia and Kevin took pictures, while we other girls hung out in the pool. It was soooo relaxing after a hot day. After the pool we went to our rooms to get dressed, and then headed back to the Food Court for some ice cream. Of course the girls all had to sit together. They were officially bonded by now. We had to take some crazy picture for our memory books, so of course, we made lots of silly faces. We growled like lions, and taught Isabella how to say hello Florida girl style. (First your kiss each side of your faces, then you say woo! as you throw your hands up in the air.) Even Kevin did it! That's how we said goodnight! We played with Kevin for a long time and even took a picture for Uncle Brian. He always waves a crazy way with his hand by his chin. We tried to do it, but... Finally we were getting tired and had to say goodbye. The girls talked about all the fun they had, all the way back to the room.

We called Mommy to tell her we were spending the night, and to let her know we were all OK. (She needs to know those things.) We explored our room and looked at all the cool stuff on the walls and bedspreads. Kaylie loved her bed! We watched cartoons for a short bit, and then we fell asleep.

In the morning we went to eat at the food court again. At breakfast we talked about our cousins and family. We stopped at the gift shop for a memento. It was too late to swim again, so we decided to explore the resort on the way back to the car. The Kramer's were staying in the 101 Dalmatians area. We stayed in Fantasia. On the way to the car we stopped to take some very cool pictures in Toy Story. We saw a Buzz Lightyear that was bigger than the buildings! Makenzie and Kaylie sat on his feet! Bo Peep was there, and so was a Dinosaur. I took a picture of the girls by Woody. (The girls are the little ones at the bottom of the picture.) Just before we got in the car we stopped to take our pictures in the giant bucket of soldiers. You have to look hard, but Kaylie and Makenzie are peeking out of one of the holes in the bucket.

It's nice to know the tradition of getting together with families still goes on. Seeing relatives is fun and always give us memories to talk about when we get older. I wonder what the girls will talk about from this trip, when next they get together?
