DISNEY WORLD!!!!!

We had such a blast at Disney World last week! We went with my Mom and Dad and my Sister and her Husband. We stayed at the Polynesian resort right on the monorail to the Magic Kingdom. The girls loved the pool there. It was in the shape of a volcano with a slide coming down from the top to the bottom. We found out that if you put a life jacket on Jillian she thinks she can do anything by herself. Jillian went down the slide twice by herself while we were there. The first time she came down, she said that it was fun but she didn't want to do it again (she is so little that she came down sideways!). But after a couple of days of thinking about it, she went down it again by herself and loved it! Abby and I had a fun time going down it together, but on the 2nd day got told that it is one rider at a time. We took little speed boats out one day. They were alot of fun. Abby and Mom rode together, Dad and Jillian rode together, and Shannon and I rode one together. Steve got his wish and Cory took him sailing. The girls loved all the parks. It is strange to say, but even as long as we were there we didn't spend very much time at Animal Kingdom or Epcot. It was so convienent to ride the monorail to the Magic Kingdom that we went there alot. We ate at Epcot 3 times for dinner and saw the Spectromagic show (big fireworks show), but didn't ride too many of the rides. Everst at Animal Kingdom was really cool, but it rained almost the entire time we were there that day and we got sick of being wet, so we went back to the resort. Our resort was so awesome! We were in the side that has the consierge(sp?) service so there was constantly snacks out in the lounge and a wonderful turn down service at night! Abby woke up sick the second day we were there (threw up 3 times) so we decided to take her to an urgent care. I was thinking that if it was the flu that I could atleast get her the shot (that they can only give in the first 24 hours) so that she would have a milder case and that it wouldn't ruin our whole vacation. The Dr. said that it didn't appear that she had a virus. His best guess was that she either got too hot or that she ingested too much pool water the day before and the mix of chemicals and bacteria didn't agree with her stomach...duh! Oh well, I got her some pedialite and he gave me a Rx for a suppository if she continued to throw up. Luckily she didn't! We kept her out of the sun for the day and took her back out to see the fireworks show at MGM that night. The best part about the trip was eating lunch in Cinderella's castle. The girls got to meet all of the princesses and get their autograph. It was really very magical and I found myself getting choked up as I watched the expressions on their faces! Mom and Dad watched the kids for a couple of nights while Me, Steve, Shannon, and Cory took advantage of the parks that were having the extra hours those nights. Shannon and Cory bought us all Red Sox t-shirts to wear (they are from Boston). We got so many comments from oh, you're a Yankee fan to Go SOX! Abby also got to meet her favorite, Kim Possible and Ron Stoppable! She was SOOO excited! I'm sure there is so much more that happened that I could tell you about, but I'm surprised you are still reading!!! I'm going to have Steve make up a gallery with pictures and captions underneath so that you can see all the fun that we had. A friend of ours did that after she took a cruise and it was really neat! Thanks for the great idea, Kim! Needless to say, we had a GREAT time and cannot wait to go back. Now we are in what Steve calls PDD (Post Disney Depression). Until next time!
