An unexpected trip

On August 6th I found out that I would have a two week break from school and work! With all the things going at home (Abby's homecoming from Disneyworld, Mallory's farewell, Ang's cancer surgery and Liz's pregnancy) I decided to take a very last minute trip home! I spent a lot of time being with my friends, family and baby sitting my nieces and nephews, which is exactly what I wanted to do. Here are some highlights of the trip

Hanging out with Brooke and Jack

I got to see my friends and say goodbye to Mallory (who just moved to Ohio! which is only a few hours from Kentucky)

Abby and I met up with Tia on Saturday. Tia is our friend that Taurean, Abby and I mentor. We've grown really close to her and it was great to see her on my trip home

Abby and I rode bikes around the neighborhood...so funny since we haven't been on bikes since elementary school.

We had hamburgers on the deck with the family...a great summer delight

Luckily while I was home, Liz had her baby! Here are some photos of the new baby. 

This is Liz right before heading to the hospital

Here is the new baby, Lilianne Elizabeth Behunin (I'm not quite sure on the spelling). She certainly has a head full of hair

While Liz was in the hospital, Abby and I took Savannah to her first day of preschool. It was fun to pretend I'm a mom. I even did her hair! Not bad for a first timer eh?

This was taken right before I left for the airport. These are all the grandchildren, minus 3 (Jack, Brooke and Lilianne)

And here is some video I took when we brought Josh and Savannah to the hospital to meet their new sister. They were both really excited. 

Disney World Trip

We had a great trip to Disney world this past weekend. Taurean and I drove 13 hours south to visit Abby in Disney World. Abby got us all kinds of hook ups...great hotel deal, 3 meals a day for free and discounted souvenirs. Here are just a few highlights from the trip

Our Hotel: Disney's Pop Century

It was soooooooooooooo hot and humid in Florida. I'm serious, we were soaking within MINUTES of being outside.  This is a picture of the outside of our hotel. It was so humid outside that the lens of my camera fogged up! haha

Here we are at Epcot. I think my Pluto hat says it all (p.s. notice how nice and blue the sky is)

Picture with Belle

Here is a video of the rain. It POURED for hours, out of nowhere. 

We ate dinner in France at Epcot. The food was amazing and they brought around Remmi from Ratatouille. He was cute and he even talked! This picture was taken just before I spilt my Sprite all over me. 

The entrance to my favorite ride

Abby standing in front of the "plush" wall. Apparently it takes a lot of work to keep this wall looking so great. Who knew? This is actually taken in the Emporium where Abby works. 

Hey! The crew from UP!

And a short tribute to the visionary man who made it all happen. I love you Walt. You contributed so much to the World! My life would not be the same if not for Walt Disney.  A true hero
