Florida Time!!!

We had a wonderful time going around to all the theme parks- thanks to Aunt Patty and family :) We went to Sea World, Epcot, Universal and Islands of Adventures, and the Magic Kingdom. Keri and her family were all still sick, so they came up a day later, but I was happy they waited to get rid of their colds/etc so we didn't catch it. Jason, Kelson, & I all came back fine, so that's GREAT news. Mom/Dad/Donald Family all came and met us Sunday at the condo. I had brought several outfits for Kelson to wear with her cousins and Keri managed to get several wonderful photos. Keri is such a great photographer. Great ideas too. We actually got a picture of Corgan and Kelson together, Belle wasn't very cooperative and didn't want to partake. It was amazing how much bigger Corgan felt after holding Kelson. He is def her bigger, younger, cousin. He is such a cutie. Reminds me so much of my brother and dad. Annabelle was a handful too- she is soooo smart and likes to explore everything. It was a wonderful trip. I'm not going to post pictures yet, cause I want to use some of them for our Christmas card. We had a great time in FL and I can't wait to see them all again during Christmas time.

While we in Orlando, IKEA, opened up their new store. I had never heard of it before but Keri was a HUGE fan, so her and I went. We were there for over 5 hours. Got in some good quality sister time. The store is 30K sq ft- Its a HUGE place. Very cool modern stuff for great prices. I wanted to buy several LARGE things, but seeing as how we flew, there was no way to get it home. So I bought smaller items and put them in Jason's bunk on the bus since he was flying with me and didn't need it (cheap shipping). Jason and I are going to go visit the store in Atl and get some neat furniture from there. Keri has turned us into IKEA fans.

A night to remember

Well we made it back from FL. Kelson was WONDERFUL! She went on vacation like a pro. Had no problems with her on the plane rides nor at the theme parks. She got cranky every now and then, but you have to expect that from a 3 month old. While we were down there, Heartland had a show in Williston, FL at a theme park (pretty redneck, but still good times, and they had funnel cakes). So anyways, Kelson and I rode with Cousins Tab and Chris to the show and Kelson got to attend her first Heartland concert. She sat in her stroller next to me and watched and listened the whole time. She fell asleep and then Jason asked me to bring her up on stage so he could sing to her. I was shaking and crying- it was the sweetest thing EVER. He held her and sang "I loved her first" to her. We captured it on camera too. She slept the majority of the song and then at the end woke up and everyone AWWWWWWW'd. It was so awesome. I will try to upload the video if I can. Its so sweet. What a special moment for daddy and his little girl!
