trip pt 3

jo only said "whats that?" and "who's that?" and pointed. she was into everything

this is my favorite thing about the trip. how much our families blended. the kids became so close to each other and i was able to spend so much time with charlie and got to know her. i love this girl. she held my hand when ever she could and we rode most of the rides together. i love how much we all just blended together

epcot! we spent 12 HOURS at the park. with the older 4 kids. mom and dad stayed home with jo. this is my fav park so i was thrilled to spend time from open to close. we spent 120 on food and drinks alone! and after that we packed food for the rest of the trip! crazy!!!
