Weekend Fun

Any guesses on where we went this past weekend?  Here's a hint:

Yep, we surprised the girls with a trip to Disney World.  This was somewhat of a last minute trip for us.  Usually when we go it's planned out way in advance, about a year ahead of time.  I decided to see a specialist in Tampa regarding the constant dizziness I experience.  Since Tampa is about an hour away from Orlando, we decided to make a trip out of it and take the girls to Magic Kingdom.  It was tough keeping it a secret for over a month.  Here's how we told them.



I think I was the most excited not to have to keep a secret any longer. I love the look of shock on their faces. Bless their hearts, it was early and they had just woken up. We had a fantastic time with the girls. Many memories were made and I am feeling so incredibly blessed. Can't wait to share more pictures with you, once I get them downloaded, and tell you about the doctors visit.

Enjoy your weekend!

What a week

I can't believe I haven't blogged in a week. I really haven't had the time. We've been having a good vacation so far, with one unexpected twist. My dad has been pretty sick. We arrived in Orlando on Sat. night and he got sick on Sunday morning. If you know my dad he is rarely sick. He's a health nut like me and if he does get sick it's a minor cold.

This was different. At Epcot on Sunday he just walked around and sat all the time. He didn't go on any rides. He just didn't have the energy. The next day we went to Hollywood Studios and he stayed back at the condo. Thankfully the next day my mom took him to an urgent care who told him to go to the ER.

We thought he'd be in and out, but that was not the case. They admitted him for further testing. They did a CT scan to rule out a stroke, chest x-ray, lumbar puncture and tons of blood work.

All tests came back normal except for the chest x-ray. They determined he had pneumonia. So thankful it wasn't a stroke. He had to stay at the hospital for 2 nights. Not really the way we all had envisioned our vacation would go.

Thankfully he is out of the hospital and feeling better. We are on our way to Magic Kingdom for the day. I will post pictures soon. I have 450 pictures to go through so far so it might take me awhile.

Happy Friday everyone.
