Happy Fathers Day!

This Father's Day will definitely be one that we will never forget! It all started out with Reed waking up at about 1 am on sunday crying. Graham and I both spent about 2 hours trying to comfort him. Once we got him to calm down I noticed that he had broke out in hives all over his body. The only thing that we could think of was that he was allergic to Febreeze, which I had sprayed in his room the day before. We ended up putting him in our room in the pack-n-play for the rest of the night. Of course I really didn't go back to sleep because I was so worried about him. In the morning he seemed to be doing better we made Graham all his favorite breakfast foods and gave him his presents. When it was time to go over to my grandmother's house we started to get Reed dressed but apparently he was not happy about it. He ended up getting so worked up that he got sick all over himself and me. We noticed that as the day went on that you could tell that Reed's sinuses were bothering him. Oh yeah and the dog got sick later that day too! All in all Graham had a very good day. He told me he has one request for next Father's day. That it be puke free!!!

Sorry no pics Graham and I were both to tired to remember to take any.

Disney World

We have been back home for almost a week now and things are finally getting back to normal. Poor Graham took a week off of work but was so exhausted after the trip that he needs to take another week off. We all had a ton of fun and also did a lot of walking. Even though we were there for 7 days we were not able to do everything. Which is kind of cool because that means next time we go back there will be plenty of new stuff to do. Reed of course got a ton of souvenirs. Here is a slide show of some of the pics I took while we were down there. Some of them are repeats but there are some new ones.

Disney's Hollywood Studios

On Tuesday we all headed to Disney's Hollywood Studios. When we got there we headed over to the Hollywood and Vine restaurant to eat breakfast with some of the playhouse disney characters.

After breakfast we headed over to watch the playhouse disney stage production. Reed sat still during the entire production except when they asked the kids to get up and dance.

On Monday we went back to the Magic Kingdom. We got there before the park opened and got to watch the big production that they do to officially open the park. We didn't get to ride as many rides as we would have like to because it was pretty busy. In the morning we rode the Walt Disney Railroad, the tommorrowland Speedway, the Many Adventures of Winnie the Pooh, the teacups, and we also went to Toon Town where Reed got to see Minnie and Mickey's house.







After lunch Graham and Reed headed back to the room for a nap and Chris, Jordan, and I stayed at the park. We got to ride splash mountain and big thunder mountain railroad. For dinner we went back to the park and ate at Tony's Tavern which is the Italian Restaurant from Lady and the Tramp. While waiting to eat Reed and Jordan got to meet Pluto and Chip and Dale.







After dinner we got to watch the Spectro Magic Parade

Disney World

Day 1&2:
Saturday me, Graham, Reed, and my nephews Chris(14) and Jordan(12) started our vacation. We got on the road about 6:00 a.m. heading to Vero Beach, Fl. We were in the car until 4:00 p.m. Normally we would have never thought about taking this long of a trip with Reed but we invested in the best invention ever made for the car, a DVD player. That evening we stayed with Bill and Millie who are Amy's ( Graham's stepmom) parents. On Sunday morning we were able to go to the beach which was only a short walk from where we were staying.

After lunch we all loaded back into the car and headed towards Disney World. We arrived at about 4:00 p.m.
