Disney World & Other New News

Since we had sooo many pictures from our recent trip to Florida, I decided to make the most of them and include a few more in this post.

The view from our room at the
Boardwalk Villas.

While this was Sydney’s third Disney trip in her life, there is still much she has yet to experience.  While some of that is due to her age, most of it is actually do to her vertical 'limitedness.'  Unfortunately, she does not meet the 40 inch requirement that may rides require.  So while she is able to go on the coasters built for smaller people, there truly is a whole new world for her to experience…and the Aladdin pun was not intended…FYI.

So, while Sydney was restricted from participating in certain thrill-seeking attractions, the same was actually true for Karen as well.  This had nothing to do with her age (even though she can also act three at times), and it was not due to her height (safe above 40 inches), but had more to do with her width.  That’s not intended as anything mean, but is merely saying that in her ‘condition’ she can't ride anything that jostles, bumps, spins, whizzes, or is otherwise turbulent.  If those weren’t big enough clues for those who do not yet know, Karen is pregnant.

Who wants a turkey leg???

Even though I was on a trip with two girls that were restricted to certain rides, it was a great time.  In fact, it’s actually kind of entertaining seeing how a pregnant lady navigates Disney World.  For two days straight, Karen kept saying, “I just gotta get one of those jumbo turkey leg.”  Every time we passed a turkey leg stand, and even often when we didn’t, she kept insisting she needed to get one.  I’ve heard of many cravings, but never “I need a jumbo Disney turkey leg.”  It gave me flashes back to the show ‘When Animals Attack,’ or ‘When Good Pets Go Bad.'  Cravings should be taken seriously, and desires of pregnant women should not be taken lightly.  There’s no warning, and the wake of destruction from unheeded requests can be similar to that of a hurricane.  I made sure to keep all of my fingers at least two feet from the devouring of carnage.  Lesson of the story, don’t get in the way of a prego lady and her turkey, or deprive her of it.  You might not be able to tell from the picture, but this thing could actually feed a family of five.

We are expecting the (now size of a bell pepper) kiddo to come in late October.  We have no idea of gender, but we’re going to wait until it comes out to know what it is.  Haha…I’m only kidding.  If you know us, you know there’s no chance of that.  We’ll actually find out next week.  Well, that’s it for now.

I hope everyone has a fun and safe holiday weekend!!!
