Orlando 2016

This years Interstate Batteries Convention was in Orlando FL!

We chose to drive so we woke up very early

Very welcoming!

Rosen Shingle Creek

Kyle Busch's show car!

He couldn't make his appearance this year because he was racing in CA

We rarely left the resort since there was so much there, including an arcade

This place exceeded any expectation on special treatment for Cohen and his diet. I called a month ago to ask about options so I knew what I needed to pack for Cohen and they put me through to head chef who told me every meal there would be a special plate for Cohen. The head chef even gave me her cell number to call her if there was a problem.

This man also helped him almost every meal coordinating his plates and making sure we were covered.

Presley and Kate

Presley, Teddy and Hank

We let go of naps and bedtime for this trip.

Day # 3 we left the resort to go to Magic Kingdom!

hot and sweaty but ready to go!

Crowds make me nervous so we wrote phone numbers on all the kids, even though they know it, to be safe

they have been waiting for this for

two.years!!!!!!

We split up to make the best use of our time so Zach took the boys to ride some rides while Presley had a date to meet Cinderella and Aurora.

Day # 4 was a block party on City Walk.

Interstate rented it out and restaurants had a ton of food for us to chose from, games, karoke bars, etc. And afterward rented out Adeventure Island Universal Studios for us as well!

Dy # 5 was the Inspirational Brunch which was amazing. Danny Yokey, a christian songwriter came to sing and share his story of his faith. It was beautiful and such a testament to Gods
grace, Sunday was also the final party which was so fun everyone dressed up in Superhero costumes. They also announced that Convention 2018 is Long Beach, CA!

I have a ton of videos from this trip I hope to share!

Our week

Reading to Presley in the hammock

two sweet girls skating at a birthday party

They can be sweet at times 

Presley must have taken this with my phone but it's Caleb during his eye exam.

He had been telling me every morning during school time it was blurry.

sure enough, he was right.

Friday 3/5 of us went to NC to visit Papa Denning and Nonnie

Cohen enjoyed some one on one with Daddy and they enjoyed yard saling.

Presley and Caleb enjoyed gem mining

and fishing.

Presley actually caught one with her net.

and we climbed this!

Caleb learns how to use a pocket knife to sharpen wood

My favorite picture from the lake, Presley and Papa Denning building a fire for smores

Our summer so far has been very low key.

Loving on Honey Mustard II

Park playdates, with Mrs. McPheron.

Presley is already getting spoiled for next year

Relaxing by the door in a booster, with Duke

Fun summer nights at church.

He loves Aliza, and it seems she loves him too!

We saw a police officer at the park so we introduced ourselves and he let the kids get in his car.

This was a highlight for Caleb

Slush and Cohen

Caleb is learning to read this summer :)
