Florida

 We had a great vacation!  Emily was a trooper through the entire trip.  She had a couple of crying episodes on the plane, but they didn't last too long.  We visited all 4 Disney parks and she only took 1-2 short naps through the entire day, but was visually stimulated through the rest of the day to keep her from being too upset.  Haley and Lexi did a great job at keeping her happy too.  Lexi gave her so many kisses and snuggles and Haley would rush over to her anytime she started to fuss and clap in her face.  I know that sounds funny, but for some reason anytime Haley would clap, Emily would smile.  We also learned that Emily likes to smile and laugh when Haley and Lexi would cry.  Hmmm...something is not right with that.  

Some of my favorite moments:
1.) Hanging out with the family.  We haven't done that in a loooonnnnnggggg time.  
2.)Watching Emily enjoy Lion King at Animal Kingdom
3.) Haley, Lexi and Emily snuggling.
4.) Going back to Timpano's and Emeril's---went there during our honeymoon.  
5.) Visiting with my Grandma/Grandpa and my Uncle Dan/Aunt Angie and cousin Nathaniel
6.) Taking Emily swimming for the very FIRST time!
7.) Emily's first fourth of July
8.) Lunch at Cinderella's Royal Table where Emily got to have pictures with all of the princesses. 
9.) Air conditioned bathrooms.  yeah, it was HOT HOT HOT and I loved walking into air conditioned rooms, oddly enough, the bathrooms were air conditioned. 
10.) Going to Cracker Barrel twice!

We are so glad that you had a great time. Love the pictures! I bet it was hot. I can't believe that was the first swimming time that Em had! Let's keep it going and have a swim date soon.

Looks and sounds as if you had a grand time. The pictures say a lot! If Emily is anything like her daddy with regards to swimming she will continue to love it. As always; enjoy the pictures. Please give Emily big hugs and kisses from grandma.
