"There comes a time in every rightly constructed boy's life when he has a raging desire to go somewhere and dig for hidden treasure." - Mark Twain

It's been quite a while since I posted last, and lots has happened! We had a fabulous trip to Disney World, and since we've been back we are back in the full swing of things. Nick is in Boy Scouts, Zack and Michael are in Cub Scouts, all 3 are playing soccer, Corey is coaching Michael's team, Zack and Michael are taking tap and hip hop dance classes, Nick is taking a Cotilion class, Michael has church class, and Nick has piano lessons. And Luke is growing and changing every day.

Our trip was wonderful! This time our "theme" was to try new things. So in addition to visiting the theme parks as usual, we also tried out the water parks - Typhoon Lagoon and Blizzard Beach. We loved them. It will be hard to be excited about the water park we normally go to in the summer here after that. We could hardly get the boys to leave. We took advantage of the Disney Dining Plan to try out some new restaurants. Chef Mickey's, Tusker House, and Whispering Canyon Cafe had delicious food and great entertainment. My parents even joined us for 4 days of the trip. It was fun visiting the parks with them and showing them around.

As usual we hated to leave, but as Nick said "I can't wait to get home so we can rest!" A trip to Disney is an awesome vacation, but it is not exactly relaxing. So we were happy to be home and get back to normal.
