Our First Day at Disney World. We woke up

early and spent the day at the Animal Kingdom Park.

Oliver with Uncle Eric. Uncle Eric & Aunt Lori

got Oliver his very own set of Mickey Mouse ears

with his name stiched on the back.

Aunt Lori so graciously watched Oliver, so

that Ethan and I could both go on the water

ride. hmmm! I found out why Lori didn't mind

not going. We ended up looking like drowned

rats. - Remind me to double check Lori's motives

when she is so quick to get out of something! :)

Oliver with his cousins

Next we went on the animal safari ride. It was really
neat. They set it up so it felt like you were really out
in the wild. You could not see bars our cages around
the animals.

Even tho' the animal safari ride was very bumpy,

Oliver fell asleep.

Playing with the dirt and rocks

while waiting for a ride.

Oliver's first experience with a disney character was

Jimney Cricket.

The cousins went swimming at the hotel after the

long day at Disney World.

Yes, we are still alive and kicking!!

Well, this year has barely started and we are having our share of challenges. - As pretty much everyone is right now. We started out the year with a family (Anderson) Cruise. --So now matter how tough this year gets we started it out in style! :)
I feel that we haven't talked to so many of you, and I apologize. We have our friends and family in our thoughts and prayers and we hope all of you are doing well in this gift and struggle called... life.
Wow! Now that I have started this, our first blog entry for this year, out so seriously, I will first add photos from our trip to Disney World and our Caribbean cruise from the 25th of December to the sixth of January.
