The Richardsons

Our hotel, the All Star Sports Resort, complete with x's and o's to play on outside, great for energetic soccer players Day 1 at the Hollywood Studios at the "Honey I shrunk the kids park." One of the few time Eman stood still and smiled at the park! Magic Kingdom on Day 2. My sister and her boys had a roller coaster all picked out for the first thing to do. Annie had other ideas, "didn't you know Cinderella's castle is here?" Look Mom, it's Minnie Mouse! Fireworks over Cinderella's castle. WOW!

Eman did not have the same reaction. Abegail directs "happy birthday" in spanish My red carpet cake Abegail turns 11 Monday. She had a red carpet slumber party for her birthday.

We had games, they played mu...
