Tuesday, RJ and I decided to take the day off and take Drew to Disney World! We had so much fun. I t was nice to get away from work and the house and just focus on the family for one day.

RJ and Drew on the monorail - almost there Mickey Mouse!!

Waiting in line for the Indy Speedway...
Getting ready to race... Drew is a pretty good driver for a two year old! (Thank goodness the car is on a track and tells you where you can drive)

Taking a ride on the tea cups! Dad opted out of this one!!

Spinning, spinning and more spinning. (Drew was more interested in the mouse that kept popping out of the tea pot in the middle!)
Waiting for the 3-D Mickey show!!
Taking a ride in Pooh's honey pot...
Playing in Donald Duck's big boat! Water was squirting up form the ground...
We decided against getting Drew's whole face painted with a super hero or animal theme, so we got a Mickey theme half face...

All done!
Looks good! Mom decided to get one also...

Waiting in line for the haunted mansion (a dad's request ride)
Waiting in line for Alladin's Magic Carpet ride (same as Dumbo, but Dumbo had a 50 minute wait and Alladin had a 5 minute wait)

Getting ready to fly...


We even made it to the parade!!




We went for Drew's first choo-choo ride around the park. We really thought he might fall asleep on this, but nope- wouldn't want to miss anything!!

Trying to get a family day at Disney picture of all three of us, but Drew wasn't into it...



We couldn't leave Disney without a baloolaloo...
Drew picking out the one he wanted...
Giving high fives in exchange for the balloon...
All is good now that we have a baloolaloo...

Exiting the park, one last picture opportunity with Cinderella's castle in the background... We had so much fun. Drew loved all the rides we went on, and we went on almost everything! RJ even walked right on to space mountain, while Drew and I did some shopping and got a frozen coke (Drew got apple juice). We would say his favorites were the Mickey Philharmonic 3-D show, the county bear jamboree (where Drew was almost funnier than the show to watch), the Indy race cars and the Goofy roller coaster.

Sunday afternoon, while RJ was sick, Drew and I went over to see Grandma. We decided to walk down to the beach
Drew LOVES the beach!!



After a rough week of Drew being sick, in the ER and then everyone in the family catching whatever he had, including MiMi, PaPa, me, RJ and Boppa, everyone is feeling better and having a nice week!!
Drew giving Nemo a kiss. Nemo swims around the pool and Drew tries to chase him...
Getting a little more fearless...




Drew has been in swim lessons for two weeks now, and is getting pretty good at it. He loves being in the pool...





Drew found his Elmo birthday balloon that we were trying to throw out. So it made its way back into the house...
This is him telling me that I am not allowed to throw it out...



Drew has figured out that you can take a picture and then look at it, so this is one of the many pictures we took over and over again this boring Tuesday night while RJ was gone umpiring baseball...
