Disney World - Day 2

Magic Kingdom

We waited for Kristin's medication and then met everybody in Magic Kingdom.

Britt went early with her cousins so Shannon could get a hair cut by her favorite hairdresser; the only one allowed to cut her hair, Penny.

Britt and Shannon, new haircuts and pixi dust

Main Street looks absolutely beautiful around Christmas time

We decided to go and get Fast Passes for Space Mountain, and got a time about 6 hours later.

While waiting we went on one of Britt's favorite rides, Dumbo!

and the Carousel

Uncle John was nice enough to purchase Mickey balloon for the girls.

It was warm enough for the kids to play with water and Chris and Shannon were the first to get soaked

Kristin decided she wanted to go on Space Mountain with mom and dad, Melissa and her aunts and uncles. She was very brave. I was behind her and did not hear her telling me that she wanted to get off the ride, in the middle of the ride.

After an exciting first day in the park we headed back to the hotel and back to the pool.

Fun with uncle Craig

Shannon relaxing buy the pool

Disney World - Day 1

It was 10 years since last time the Engler family all visited Disney World together. The Engler family has grown and we had 5 more children with us at this trip.

We drove from Pa, started at 7 p.m and drove all night and met my in-laws in Jacksonville, Fl for breakfast. We all stayed at the Shades of Green, witch is a military hotel on the Disney grounds.

About 10 minutes after arriving at the hotel, the kids had their bathing suits on and ready to check out the pool. We took a short nap while momom and the girls were enjoying the warm weather and the pool.

Kristin unfortunately had a reaction to something (still unsure what) but we were able to get some medication and the eye infection cleared up quickly. The pharmacy brought the medication right to the hotel for the low fee of $5. Maybe the best deal in Orlando Fl.

As a result of the eye infection she got new sunglasses. She said the best thing about her new glasses, was that she did not have to use her own money to buy them.....

We spent the evening in the lobby after the family members had arrived from Ca, the kids were running around the halls in PJ's and Kristin with her big blue glasses.

Time to Catch Up

It has been too long since last time I sat down and added any photos or wrote anything for the bolg, so I will try to catch up. First starting with our vacation to Disney World over Christmas vacation.

So What I Want for Christmas

So this is what is on the top of my children's Christmas list. Remember they are two girls age 7 & 9.

Kristin (the 7 year old) wants a really sharp pocketknife, and it has to be very sharp... Britt (the 9 year old) wants a bow and arrow.

What happened with my little girls.

When I spoke with my mother in law she laughed and said she would get right on that..

I was on the phone with my father and he thinks that every little girl needs a knife and asked me to make the purchase to fulfill their wishes. Now and I have to add, this is the guy that almost cut his finger of about a month ago.

First Snowfall of the season

I think.. and it was a big one. The northeastern is one that made the record books. I believe we got about 15 inches in about 24 hours.

You live and learn and today I learned that I always have to check my settings on the camera before shooting. Last time I used it it was under very different circumstances and completely different settings..


Our house


The neighbor's house




Love the tree in the front yard


Britt is feeling under the weather and probably could not have picked a worse day to be sick.


Kristin loving the snow, and who cares about hat and gloves..


Our neighbor Tom, helping plowing our sidewalk and then let me use his snow blower to clean the drive way. So much better on my back.


Are they expecting a snow storm??


Britt was smart enough to get out of the way, but Kristin wanted to to stay in the line of fire, or should I say snow.
