PNC Park, Incline ride and a famous eatery

Lots of plans today. We are starting with a tour of PNC park. Nick loved this in Cincy so I hope it is as good here. We are then going to take an incline ride. Little nervous about that. We are going to head off to a famous eatery that my brother told us about from the TRAVEL channel. We will end the day watching the Brewers play the Pirates.

I can honestly say we had a really nice family vacation. It is the longest we have been gone since our honeymoon.

Will post some more pictures when we get home!

Will lost a tooth!

Will finally let his dad pull his front tooth. It has been hanging there for days. That was his third tooth!
As Will says, "Look daddy my tooth disappeared and turned in to money!"

Vacation

Today we visited Will's favorite place, Hollywood Studios. I sat through Playhouse Disney on Stage two times. We rode the Toy Story ride two times, saw tons of shows and ended with the Star Wars ride. Nick even got to ride Tower of Terror.

Tomorrow we are off to Epcot and will have lunch at the French restraunt in hopes of seeing Remy the Rat from Ratatouille.

Really hot and no rain so far!

Disney World

Well, we have finally arrived after two days of travel. We pushed it the first day driving into GA. The second day the kids had had it! We got some dinner and picked up our passes with Dave and Libby and now are all set. We will get to our condo today and our vacation can really start! (The fun part anyways!)
We left Denise in charge of our pea green pool. If anyone can fix it, she can!

Horseback riding

One of Will's favorite things to do is horseback ride. We were introduced to the program last year through a psychologist Will was working with. This is a wonderful non profit organization run mostly by volunteers for kids with disabilities. This year Will has - to the amazement of the teachers - learned how to ride and control with reins.

We are so thankful for the many volunteers and the horses that make this therapeutic riding program possible for so many local children. Will is lucky enough to be featured on the cover of their brochure too!

Split Pea Soup

That is exactly what our pool water looks like!
Poor Nick was cleaning that thing like crazy yesterday. The pool chemicals all test fine, we must just have an algae buildup. Not good when you are leaving on vacation for 12 days!
Hopefully by Wed. our pool will be good as new. Cross your fingers or our house sitters won't be happy!
3 days and counting to Disney World ...

Anthony's Graduation

Last night we attended Anthony's High School graduation. Lots of people and lots of fun. The food was great, the kids loved the pool, and as always Karen and Tony's kids were so kind with our boys. They should be proud of the wonderful young men they are all becoming. They will have one on their way to college ... and three more to go! Nick commented how he looked around and saw so many different generation groups.
What a wonderful time it was! I wish I had remembered our camera.
