Gearing Up

We are gearing up for our next big family vacation. We will be heading to Disney World soon with my husband's whole family! They are flying commercially and we are taking the 182! I can't wait, I am hoping the kids fall asleep and stay that way for a few hours of the flight! I love Disney World, we have been a couple of times over the years (including before we had kids) and I always love going there. I am excited to take the 182 because I do not feel constrained by fitting everything into one bag for the flight. Usually when I travel with the kids, I pack extremely minimally because it is usually just me flying to meet my husband somewhere. I cannot physically handle multiple bags, two kids, and a stroller. So we take one medium sized bag and and check it. When we went to Key West I didn't even get to take Ella's life jacket which was NOT fun. She feels very comfortable in it and didn't seem to notice she didn't have it on. If anyone is in the market for a life jacket for their little one, the very best one I have found so far is made by a company called Stearns, you can find them at this link, but I ordered mine from Walmart.com when it was on clearance. This product is amazing, and I don't usually say that about too many kids products! She can swim by herself with this and she is only 19 months! it is crazy, she can jump in and float and kick herself all over the place (don't worry we are always right in the pool too, we just don't have to constantly try and keep her afloat or pointed the right way, it is awesome! So I am excited to be able to take all of our stuff! My husband has already been in contact the the Kissimmee airport where we will be heading into and has set up some type of temporary transportation since we will be arriving at different airport that the rest of the family (with the rental cars). I will post about our adventure when we get back! Also coming up, we had a friend of mine with a photography business take some family pics the other day and she did an awesome job, I will post a few of those when I get the CD!
