Kirk's Parents (Ft. Myers, Fl) 1/1 - 1/2

After the fun party at the Harris', we loaded a USA 3000 flight to Ft Myers with Grammy and PopPop and Sophie. Alex was less than thrilled to have to board a plane. We made it through and got to sunny Florida safe.

Wow, the weather was incredible and you can see the fun we had.

We went to Disneyworld (thank you again Grammy and PopPop) for two days. We woke up early one morning, drove 3 hours and were in the park by 10 am or so. We stayed at the Shades of Green hotel, right on sight and were able to see A LOT in 2 days.

One of the highlights of the trip was Elizabeth getting to see the princesses. Daddy waited in line for over an hour for her to see Belle, Cinderella, and Ariel. We also had lunch with the princesses. It was hard to figure out who was more excited to see them...Kirk or Elizabeth.

Another highlight was Alex getting to see McQueen and Mater. He loves the Cars movie and the characters and they had full size cars at MGM.

Finally, the fireworks and parades we saw were awesome and the kids really enjoyed themselves. There were about a kazillion people there, but we really had a good time.

We got back from Disney and were able to relax for the rest of our US tour. We were able to go to Naples Beach. Both kids had a blast and just love the beach. We made it to Cheeburger Cheeburger. Well all of us except for Alex, he passed out in the stroller.

Finally, the biggest highlight of our Ft Myers time was Elizabeth's new skill....the Cannonball! The Big Beluga (aka Pop Pop) showed her how to do it, and she didn't stop. Alex also really enjoyed swimming in the pool. He likes to think he can swim by himself.

We definitely have a couple of fish kids on our hands.
