A visit from his cousin!

Tuesday afternoon Nicholas awoke to find his house filled with new people, his aunt, uncle and cousin! After 10min of staring them down he decided this would be fun! He and Addison enjoyed a few hour of play with every toy he owns leaving a wake of destruction in their path! Afterwards we went to dinner at Oakridge BBQ and got some sleep cause the next day would be packed full of fun!

Nicholas and I met up with all of Colleen's family at Chef Mickey's in the Contemporary hotel at Disney. The kids loved it! They were both dancing away to the music and enthralled by the people waving their napkins in the air (we missed you Alice!). The first character to visit our table was Donald Duck followed by Mickey himself! Both kids stared at them in total disbelief. The 3rd character was a different story. Over walks Pluto, a giant dog I thought Nicholas would love. Well he did, until I got the bright idea to move his hand to pet Pluto. Then the lip shot out and the tears welled up and he was struck with complete terror. After that, every character who approached us was greeted by Addison's smiles and Nicholas' tears! Oops. I'm interested to see how he handles Santa this year! I just won't make him touch the beard!

After lunch we loaded into cars and headed back to the house. What should have been a 10min drive turned into a half hour of Colleen, Nicholas, and me driving around Disney looking for our exit! We eventually found it and made it home to the rest of the group. Addison was already napping and Nicholas although exhausted refused. So he played while the men played Playstation Golf (I saw a lot of balls in the sand bunkers, they play like I do!). After a few hours we decided it was swim time. Nicholas loved it, floating and kicking his way around the pool. Addison enjoyed it so long as her head didn't have to go under the water! We finished the night with pizza and a long drive home with a sleepy baby! It was a really fun day!
