Dad's Big Day

Over spring break, I spent the day with my parents to help them get the house ready for the eventual move. Eric graciously agreed to keep both girls for the WHOLE day. Really...I left at 7:30am and didn't get home until after they were in bed. As if that wasn't enough, he then got quite brave and decided to take them to Animal Kingdom. This was very impressive, considering that he had never left the the house alone with both girls...let alone spearhead a trip to Disney. And he even had the thought to document the day with a few pictures. I continue to be impressed.

Ella's new pleasure is pulling Grace's hair. It started as her defense strategy at home, but has escalated. The stroller is her favorite because all she has to do is lean forward a bit and she gets a hand full of Grace's hair with ease. Any pony tail Grace has is always pulled out before we reach our destination. She above picture for a great example of the post-hair-pulling hair style.

Ella seriously loves the Disney Characters. She always smiles at them and loves to kiss and touch them. It is so cute...mostly because Grace wasn't that way. She always wanted to see them, but after standing in line for 30 minutes and finally getting our turn, Grace would see the character and freak out. Repeat 2-3 times per Disney trip. She is getting better:)

Maybe not!

Wow that is a HUGE deal. I mean watching both girls all day would be one thing but to take them to Disney Alone...WOW! I'm pretty sure Jason has never gone anywhere for even a short amount of time with the two kids alone!
