Disney!!!

We had a wonderful time in Disney World back in March, and we were excited that David got to come for most of the time. It was so fun to see Sam's reactions to everything we saw. He LOVED being outside all of the time; he basically just had to come in to sleep. I was really worried about the drive down there and how he would sleep while we were down there. Sam and I rode with Mimmy and Pops, driving through the night. He did great!! We left about 7 pm, and he went to sleep around 8:30. He was in his regular carseat, and he only slept until 10:30. Then he was awake from 10:30 to 1:30. I put him in a carseat facing backwards, so he was practically laying flat on his back. I sang to him and rubbed his cheeks and arms, but nothing helped him go to sleep. However, he hardly made a peep the whole three hours. He was content laying on his back, quietly looking around. I think he finally went to sleep when I moved to another seat and left him alone. :) Anyway he did great on the ride there, eventually sleeping from 1:30 to 6:30. He slept through us stopping at a gas station and stopping at an McDonalds for Mimmy and Pops to eat breakfast when we got there. And he slept normal while we were there. I was nervous because he was in the room with us, but we hung a sheet between his bed and ours, and he slept like normal minus a few earlier mornings. So all of my worry was for nothing. :) We had so much fun, and we can't wait to go back. Now on to the overload of pictures...

80 degrees and sunny meant a lot of this:
