Another Snow Day... and a Chance to Catch Up on Blogs!

So today I should be at work, but due to a sick Nanny I'm home. We are also having yet ANOTHER snow storm so school is closed as well. I'm currently taking advantage of this by having my 11 year old neighbor shovel out our driveway, thanks Joe! The rest of the neighbor kids have been camping out in our family room all day watching what ever cartoon movies I can get on instant netflix. Have I mentioned how much I love our new Blue Ray? I had no idea it could hook up to Netflix! We've gone through a few Thomas Train movies, The Princess and the Frog, Pink Panther cartoons, and are currently watching Scooby Doo chase down a chupacabra in Mexico. Combine this with pizza, popcorn, and hot chocolate.... it's been pretty much a perfect day for kids over here! As for me, I'm getting things done around the house that would have been for the weekend, and I have some time to put up some pics from our fun Disney trip!

We ended up leaving a day late due to the snow storm, BUT... we made it to Disney and had a really wonderful time (and my ears didn't burst on the flight).

We met up with 20 other family members of Mike's... including 8 kids (the oldest of which is 6)

We were able to all see each other the first night, and randomly during the next couple of days, but it's hard with so many people to try and organize the daily schedule! Here's some highlights from our time at Disney:

Dinner at Epcot's Germany, checking out the Oompa band and alp horns

Dinner at Germany was the perfect chance to have Vince wear his super cute top my mom got him during her last trip to Switzerland. Uncle Neal declared that Vince (with his blond hair, blue eyes, and Swiss shirt).... should indeed be named Klaus instead of Vincent. I'd have to agree. That name happens to also belong to one of my mom's old boyfriends in Switzerland too... heehee

Hi Klaus!

Our table at the Biergarten Restaurant. It was Zoë's first time in a high chair too, she did great!

Family photo at the Happiest Place on Earth (Mike would beg to differ)

safari ride at Disney's animal kingdom

Small World (about the only ride Vince wasn't afraid of!)

All of Zoë's cousins wanted a turn at holding her. Here's sweet Bella with Zoë

And of course Noelle and Andrew had plenty of turns

They were very concerned when Zoë lost her binky, thanks Andrew!

Can't forget the Character Breakfast! Zoë got special greetings from Chip and Dale

Goofy showed up to steal some waffles

Everyone took a turn at tugging on Pluto's whiskers

An attempt at getting 7 kids to sit and look at the camera all at once... haha!

It was hard to come back to snow and ice after being in sunny Florida! We look forward to when we can do it again... but that probably won't be for several years.
