A Magical Adventure

In November, we took a fun-filled vacation with my family to Walt Disney World to see Mickey...or 'Kumey' as Asher lovingly refers to him. We all went to celebrate Zach's fifth birthday, but Zach and Taylor didn't know we were coming until they arrived at the condo. They were quite surprised and Asher was beyond thrilled to see them. Michael, Asher & I went a few days early to acclimate Asher to the time change and chaos that would ensue. We had fun playing Fantasia-themed miniature golf and attending Mickey's Very Merry Christmas Party. We weren't sure how Asher would do, but he absolutely loved every minute and understood much more than we anticipated he would. He enjoyed the constant activity, all the lights, and even the few rides he was able to go on. Once everyone else arrived, we enjoyed breakfast with Pooh, Tigger, Piglet & Eeyore and Asher really got into having the characters sign his autograph book. We went to the Magic Kingdom, Animal Kingdom, and Disney's Hollywood Studios. Asher loved seeing Buzz & Woody at Hollywood Studios, as well as their big Fantasmic show. If you are contemplating a Disney trip, we highly recommend this time of year with the Christmas season getting into full swing and cooler weather.

Halloween

I am so far behind on blogging, so I thought I would share some pics from Halloween. Asher dressed up as a fisherman, but was less than thrilled about wearing a costume. The highlight of his evening was a visit from the fire truck. A neighbor's alarm was malfunctioning, so there was no emergency and the firefighters let Asher sit in the driver's seat! He didn't care for trick-or-treating and preferred handing out the candy at Nana and Papa's. I imagine next year will be much different.
