A Week With Missouri Cousins!!

We had the funnest week ever when my brother Butch and his family drove here from Missouri to spend their spring break with us. We played really hard and loved every minute of it. Now we just want them to move out here!!


We spent a few days in Orlando - one day, of course, at Disney World. We went to Magic Kingdom. My camera died there, so I didn't get a whole lot of pics, but of course it was a great time. We stayed from the time it opened until the time it closed.

Dancing in the street with Mickey and the rest of the Disney gang!

While in Orlando we also had to hit some spring training baseball, of course! We watched the Atlanta Braves and Houston Astros at Disney World's sports complex.

Sydney was approached by Braves player Matt Diaz who signed a ball for her with his name and a scripture reference in the bible. She was so excited. Jake and daddy

The kids were able to run the bases after the game. Caught them on video.

We spent a lot of time at the beach fishing, playing in the sand, and jumping in the waves. It was a good time.

There was a space shuttle launch while they were visiting. We were really concerned, because we had plans to be in Orando on the day of the launch. Normally we go out to the beach to watch the launches to get a good view. We decided to just try and see the launch from Orlando even though it was an hour inland. I was amazed how good we could see it, though, even though we were that far away. Love the launches here!!
