Our Vacation

For Spring Break this year, we traveled to Orlando, FL. We stayed at an outstanding place called Blue Heron Beach Resort. I would highly recommend it. We were minutes away from tons of restaurants for dinner and across the way from the outlets. My mom, Emma, and I went shopping the evening we checked in while Shelby went swimming with Shane. The weather was breezy and cool that evening. The next morning we went to Hollywood Studios and enjoyed some rides, meeting characters, and the beautiful weather again. It was not very crowded and the lines were not long. Once Emma saw "Gickey Mouse" we thought we would have to run and hide. She is normally afraid of characters. She actually requested a second hugging session. Shelby was more thrilled to find the "big" rides. After spending the night in bliss, we woke early to go to Epcot. Epcot is a much bigger park and had lots to see and do. The character lines were far too long so we skipped those for a chance to see more of the park. They had some newer attractions since my last visit and we did make it "around the world". Shelby again wanted to try out Test Track. So Mom, Emma, and I passed the time in "China". We then found a butterfly garden as we made our way back across the lake. Emma called out "FUFFLY" and flapped her arms. So, after looking at the flowers and butterflies, we exited the enclosed garden. Walking throught he black plastic chains intrigued Emma. For the next hour I sat and watched as she entered and exited, giggled and stared, and just had plain old fun! I snapped some great pictures that captured her excitement. That was probably my highlight of the day until Shelby came running off Test Track so thrilled to have ridden. She is growing so fast to already be into the "big" rides with her Daddy. Tomorrow I will post The Magic Kingdom. But for today, enjoy!
