July-August 2010

July was spent at home. We didn’t do much, and that was actually nice. Ava took swimming lessons, and had a blast. We spent lots of time at our neighborhood pools…and that’s about it. I’m sure there was other stuff, but 3+ months later, I just don’t remember. :)

August was a big month for us. We took Ava to Disney World, we found out we were having a BOY, and Aaron and I got to go with my brother and his girlfriend to see Jack Johnson! Sooo fun! Here are some pics from August…be warned…its going to be picture overload from Disney.

Jack Johnson with my brother, Sean and his girlfriend Carly:

On the shuttle from the hotel…on the way to Magic Kingdom. It was so fun to see her excitement!

The absolute highlight of the entire trip was Ava getting to meet the Princesses. She was in such awe, and the look on her face was priceless.

Ariel and Prince Eric were awesome! They spent so much time with Ava…asking her questions and telling her how much they loved meeting her. She loved it!

It rained on and off the whole day…which kept the temperature down. It also made Ava’s hair curl up into ringlets! So cute!

Day 2: Animal Kingdom

My #1 reason for choosing to go to Animal Kingdom was for the safari. What I didn’t know is that Expecting Mom’s can’t go on the safari…boooooo! I tried to get Aaron and Ava to go without me, but they didn’t want to. Had I known that little fact, we would have chosen a different park to visit on day 2. Oh well, live and learn. :)

The camera didn’t make it out too much that day. It was soooo humid and the lens would fog up every time I took the cap off, so there definitely aren’t as many pictures.

Waiting to go in to the Lion King Musical. It was hot, humid, my clothes were sticking to me, and I was getting sprayed by one of those huge fan/mister things. Good times.

There you have it. I didn’t even post 1/3 of the pictures from that trip…and you’re welcome. We had fun, learned lots of lessons about what to do and not to do on a vacation like that, and made some good memories. :)

Oh yes, and when we got back, Miss Ava started her 2nd year of preschool.

Look at the difference…such a big girl now!
