Well, despite the fact that we were so close to the happiest place on earth while in Orlando we did not actually enter any of the parks. With temps in the upper 90's and high humidity this pregnant momma had no desire to drag a 2 year old and 4 year old around. The funny thing is every time we passed this gate, the boys were convinced they were in Disney World. With a character breakfast, access to the pool all the time, downtown Disney, and special events at the Disney hotels our boys were convinced they had done Disney. We figure what they don't know wont hurt them and will go back in a few years when they are older and we can all fully enjoy the experience!
Drew had a conference in Sun River OR this past winter and we made the call to tag along for a little vacation. Things were slightly dampened by the fact that it appears Cole has developed car sickness since the summer. Ugh. The drive was so long! However, it was worth it in the end and we had a wonderful time relaxing in an amazing little chalet, enjoying the snow, sitting in the hot tub, sledding and skating! Couldn't have asked for more fun! A stop at our favorite in Mt. Hood - El burro loco! A glass of wine after our 6 hour road trip turned into 10 hours due to car sickness! Right before our Owl Walk. We were told we could walk into the wood and hear the owls. What a bust! 3 cold and tired kids in the dark woods and no owls! It's now a running joke in our home as the tour guide kept 'hooting' trying to draw the owl's attention. If we want someone's attention in the house we often hoot at each other now...
