Our trip to Disneyworld!

Over the last week, Kim, Abby and I went to Disneyworld in Orlando, Florida, where we were hosted by our gracious siblings, David and Richelle Linde and their three children, Daniel, Karissa and Jacob. We had a FABULOUS time -- lots of fun, lots of good food, lots of bridge (sorry about Monday night, David and Richelle!). Abby especially was so excited to spend time with her cousins, and to get to see all her favorite princesses. All in all, we are very blessed to have had this opportunity, and we hope to go back again someday soon.

Our first two nights in Florida, we got to stay in a really nice Hilton hotel, where Abby got all brave in the pool. Posted by Picasa

While at Animal Kingdom, Abby got totally freaked out by a lady prentending to be a tree. Here she is. Posted by Picasa

Animal Kingdom was great -- we especially enjoyed the safari! Posted by Picasa

Abby spent a good deal of her vacation being wheeled around with her cousin Karissa. Yee-HAH! Posted by Picasa

Ahhh... the pause that refreshes... Posted by Picasa

We did get a little sleepy on Saturday night. We're very small. Posted by Picasa

We spent a good deal of time on buses, going to and fro -- very convenient! Posted by Picasa

The international flavor of Epcot was really a treat. This was a scene from Epcot Japan. Posted by Picasa
