Disney World Trip

Our most recent adventure was a trip to Orlando with Grandpa + Grandma O. and my brother Joel's family.

We covered a lot of ground at Walt Disney World and had one warm and sunny day to hang out at our condo's pool.

Florida wasn't super warm for much of the week (as you will notice from all the layers we wore), but it was sunny and much warmer than the polar vortex back home!

Here are as many photos as I could handle uploading from the big camera and my phone 

(they are not really in order, but you will get the idea)...

Magic Kingdom!

The Mad Tea Party was by far the favorite ride of the week.  The kids went on it many, many times. 

(Other favorites included Dumbo, It's a Small World and The Barnstormer roller coaster.)

Dawson and Jamie were really helpful with the little kids.
