After spending Christmas in Idaho, we took a red eye to Orlando to meet up with some of my family to go to Disney World for my brothers basketball tournament, which he couldn't even play in because of his ACL surgery. When we arrived at 6 in the morning I got a call from Whitney saying that there was no time to rest. She made sure we knew that we had to put on a happy face and not be tired because Davie Crocket wanted to hit the parks. But we loved it. I actually wasn't too tired the first day! I was so excited to see my family that I didn't care I only got 2 hours of sleep on the plane.
After the first day, Brayden and I got to have our own little Christmas with my parents. They brought all of our presents with them on the plane and even wrapped them!! :)
The next few days were jam packed with park hopping, fast passes, access passes**, walking, basketball games, and food, lots and lots of food. My dad has this thing when he is on vacation that every night needs to end with ice cream, which Brayden and I didn't complain about one bit! We love treats.
After 4 full days at Disney World we needed a break from walking so we went on an Airboat Ride to go looking for some gators. This was a blast! We got to see a mama alligator and all of her 40 little babies. Our tour guide was awesome and so redneck. After the tour Logan said he aspires to be him one day.
New Years Eve we went to dinner at a teppanyaki style restaurant, it was so good!! But the portions were HUGE. The rest of the night was very low key which we needed after spending everyday at Disney World. Whitney brought some black face masks that we all got to try out! It was very relaxing.
This was such an amazing Christmas break filled with family time! From snowy Idaho to warm and sunny Florida, it was perfect.
** One thing I learned from this trip was if you need to get anything done whit dawg is your go to girl. Somehow she got me into the ESPN Zone when I didn't have a ticket, got Logan an access pass to get in the front of all the lines at Disney World, etc. She realized she has no problem twisting the truth a bit to get things done. haha it was awesome.
We flew out of the Salt Lake Airport so we were able to see Brock, Sarah, Soph, and Liv for a bit that day. We miss living so close to them. I was a little nervous that Liv wouldn't warm up to us right away and not remember us, but she didn't at all. All she wanted to do was sit next to us and have Brayden hold her hand when we were walking outside! We hung out at their house and went to a soda shop, I learned that Liv LOVES soda, a girl after my own heart :) And of course we went to In-N-Out.
