Ron and I surprised the kids with a trip to Disney World last week for Spring Break, and an escape from our Northeast cold and dreary to warmth and sunshine. With Abbie being taller than any of the ride height requirements, roller coasters ruled this trip.
Kids are pictured above at Aerosmith's Rockin Rollercoaster, which we rode frequently and often. As we would wait in line crowds frequently broke into song, singing along with the Aerosmith tunes being piped in through speakers - one time singing I Don't Wanna Miss a Thing, reminding me it's been a while since I've seen Armageddon...lol.
With surprising them with the trip, folks asked us if the kids reacted like the commercials. I don't watch television at all, so I had to watch them on youtube. Yes, they were quite excited, but didn't scream, just hugged Ron and I, repeating the words 'thank you!'. It was a beyond wonderful trip for all and I'm very thankful we could do this for them.
I ran two of the five days we were there on the beautiful jogging trail where we stayed - nothing like the scent of blooming jasmine along a path...and the beautiful sunshine and lush landscaping.
Our wedding anniversary is this month, and above is the card I created for Ron. It's inspired by an Ingrid Danvers card. He asked me what I wanted, and I told him "once you pass 20 years gifts are every five years"... After 20 plus years what the heck do I need, really?
Card interior verse is from Quietfire.
The random alphabet is fabric called April in Paris. Adhered fabric to iron-on interfacing, then die cut, then adhered (ironed) to a random piece of felt (for height/dimension) that had also been die cut. Sentiment is from A Muse, ribbon is from May Arts. Polka dot paper is Cherry Hill and music note patterned paper is EK Success Music Notes. Brad is from Making Memories, cranberry wool felt flower. Hope the sun is shining where you are at!
