Santa Spotting

Christian was at the Mall with Kyle when he noticed that Santa happened to be there eating Chick Fil A...just like him. So he went over and said Hello and got his picture taken with him. This was like late January, so obviously Santa was on vacation in Florida taking a rest after Christmas.

Disney Pics - 2010

I know it's hard to take your eyes off of this handsome boy, but if you look just behind him you will see a Giraffe. We stayed at the Animal Kingdom Lodge, which was awesome! It's really a must if you have never done it before.

We took 2 trips to Disney so far this year. This is CJ at Animal Kingdom. This shot was taken toward the end of the day. He was pretty much over the park at this time.

Here is the Bull/Buffalo...not sure what it is from the view from our room. The horn on the right side of his head was so big that he couldn't walk straight.

Here are zebras that we could see from our room.

And finally some giraffes. It was really cool, because it was like the animals would rotate spots every half hour or so.

I think this shot was taken in the Bug's Life movie.

Here he is at the Robinson Treehouse. I hadn't been through there in years. It was a lot of fun!

This was another trip. This time we stayed at one of the All Star hotels. We were waiting to get the bus to Downtown Disney in this shot.

Here he is at the Lego store.

Waiting for the bus again to go to the Magic Kingdom. He was very excited to be on vacation.

Exploring our hotel. It's definitely a kid focused hotel.

Christian has definitely inherited my love for staying in hotels. He loves it and never wants to leave. He always says..."Can't we stay just one more night?"

Road Race for CJ

This race was in January. I went earlier and ran the 5K and then Daddy and Aunt Penny came up later with CJ so he could run in the kid's race. It was a half mile.

He was all excited to get his number on and be official. We did some stretching.

I hate to admit that he is more flexible than me. I'm really glad he is able to touch his toes, a fete I have never accomplished.

He finished the race in just under 6 minutes and he has the medal to prove it.

Penny was upset that she did not get us racing to the finish line...so we pretended for her.

It was such a fun day! The year before he was very winded. This year he ran nearly a 1/4 mile non-stop. When we turned around he walked for about 30 seconds then decided to run again. When we were nearly to the finish line, there was a little boy (about 3 years old) that was crying for his Daddy. His parents were no where in sight. So I picked him up and ran with him. This slowed me down, so I told CJ to go on by himself. And sure enough...He Did!! Once he saw Daddy and Penny at the finish line he just kept going. I love that he enjoys doing stuff like this.
