The Final Countdown!

Things have been really hectic as we have been preparing for the big move. In between the paperwork, packing, mortgage arrangements and making endless trips over to watch each stage of the construction, we've barely had time for much else. It will all be well worth it. We are so excited:).

 

Mike has been particularly involved with the constuction of his outdoor 'man-cave'...

Maddy has been in charge of keeping us all on track...

 

Amidst all the chaos, we did manage to squeeze in a trip to see Eileen who is totally blossoming and Nana:)...

 

And Maddy got to sleep over so that we could do the Tower of Terror race! (running stuff here!)

Fingers crossed - we should be moving on Saturday!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Labor Day Weekend!

The only Disney resort that we've ever stayed at is the Caribbean Beach Resort - with Gail (15 years ago when I met Mike) and one Christmas a few years back. So we were really excited to book a trip to Disney's Port Orleans - Riverside for our annual Labor Day weekend with the Simards this year!

The room was fit for a princess which is handy since we have one :)

 

And those fancy pillows are just perfect for a good pillow fight :)

 

 

The resort area is all Louisiana themed and gorgeous just to walk around...

 

 

There are horse and carriages everywhere. This horse was called John. It's owner was called Dapple. Just kidding it was Crackerjack ;)

 

There are both fun, and relaxing pools to hang out at and watch the kids play...

 

 

and learn new tricks...

In the evening we went over to Downtown Disney on the boat...

 

 

There was an Irish festival at Raglan Road - the Irish pub...

 

And Mya rocked the house...

 

In the morning the girls loved the poolside entertainment!

 

Mike was the victim in the dunk tank :)

 

And later we got to try beignets!

 

It was a perfect escape from it all and only a 10 minute drive from home! Just 27 days to go and we'll have our new home :) Happy Labor Day!
