Liv's (sort of) new bike

My garbage picking pays off once again. Found this bike, cleaned it up, and Liv loves it. She is getting pretty good at riding it herself. Don't worry the helmet was bought new!!!

Disney in pictures

Ok so we've been home a week and I finally have my act together enough to take the time to upload my pictures. This is a long post and allot of pictures so here it goes.

Day 1 getting there
Here we go on the plane to see Mickey. Or as Liv would say "We are going to Mickey's house"

Daddy taking a pictures of Liv, or is he just getting out the hand sanitizer,Vinay was so scared we would get the Swine Flu that he handed out purell every two minutes.

No nap on the plane, but she crashed in the car, there is even drool coming out of her mouth.


First swim in the pool. Liv wold have been happy not to go to any parks and just stay in the pool all day.



Day 2 Liv's Birthday
Waiting in Line to see Mickey Mouse. When we stepped off the plane Liv was upset that Mickey was not there to greet her, so we had to find the Mouse pronto.




Yes you have to wait in line, the characters are no longer just walking around like they did back in my day.





Finally!!!! Giving Mickey a big hug!!!!!






Liv did not want to walk away, she thought she could hang out with Mickey for awhile.







But we had to see Minnie!








And Donald!









And Goofy!!!










Proof that a child can Survive on only frozen lemonade for a week. Liv choose this trip to stop both eating and sleeping!!!











My favorite Pic!












A princess waiting to go to the princess dinner for her birthday!!!!













Aurora was so nice and sweet. We also have pictures with Belle but my flash was off.














Liv asked Areil where Prince Eric was. He is her favorite, but we didn't see him.















Liv was thrilled to be dressed like Snow White, eventhough she fought me to put it on in the first place!!!
