DISNEY WORLD!!!

We had an awesome time at Disney World. It was Gus, Jackson and I...plus Gus' parents, my parents, my sister Dana, and my brother Doug and his family. Here are the highlights:






























































I guess I should explain the lame sling. I had an indoor soccer game the night before we left and I hurt my elbow really bad. Considering I couldn't straighten my arm and that we had met our insurance deductible...I figured I better check it out before we left. So 6 hours before we had to leave our house for Disney I headed into the ER. The x-rays didn't show any fractures but the joint was swollen, which usually indicates a fracture. So worst case: it was a fracture and best case: it was a bad sprain. Because the doctor was unsure, he said it had to be treated as if it was a fracture. So for the first two days of our trip I was in a full splint and wrap. After two days or so it was feeling better and my range of motion had improved so I figured it was just a sprain. It is still a little sore now and pretty bruised, but doing much better. It definelty put a damper on the first few days of the trip though.
Anyways...ackson loved it. He loved the water parks, the boat rides (Pirates of the Caribean and Its a Small World), the safari and loved all the little kid rides. He was really excited to see the charaters from a distance but freaked out a little when they got closer. One annoying thing was he got way attached to his binkie and asked for it all the time. So 3 days after we got home we took them away. It has gone surprisingly well and I wish I would have done it a LONG time ago.
All in all it was a great trip!

Looks like a blast!! I love Disneyworld, it is more spread out than Disneyland, and doesn't seem so crowded. Maybe it is because I went there when I was younger...
