Night Viewing of Space X Falcon 9 launch

Tonight we drove over to Titusville to view the Space X Falcon 9 launch and it was AMAZING! The launch didn’t start until almost 11 pm but the kids did so great after a rough day today. It took a ton of research to figure out where to catch a night launch since most of the parks and best viewing spots are closed this time of night. But some locals sent us to the perfect spot!

We tried going to Space View Park in Titusville. It was easy parking and a short walk to the viewing seats but the view was blocked by fencing, flag poles and a huge crane. There was one […]

Ice cream for dinner

The birthday buddies. On Judes birthday we were at Hollywood studios. I have no idea why we thought it was smart to save cake and gifts until after we got home. It was such a long, hot, day that we were all dead on our feet when we got home. We watched him open a few gifts, shoved cake in our faces, I took one blurry pic and we all went to bed and slept 10+ hours! I’m so proud of this kid. And I can’t believe he’s 13 already!

Two days later Z turned 4. His big gift was our day at Hollywood Studios but he still had a few small gifts […]

The Slinky Dog Dash

The Slinky Dog Dash was the hit of the day! My crew sneaking in one last ride at sunset. We went several times and all the kids loved it. I loved Toy Story World all lit up at night, so cool! It was such a fun day, even with the heat and pandemic changes and I’m so glad we went.

Hollywood Studios!

Jude and Zachary’s big birthday surprise: HOLLYWOOD STUDIOS!!! One full day at Galaxy’s Edge and Toy Story Land!! Both were still being built the last time we were there is 2018. Plus this time Z is tall enough to go on all the fun rides. So exciting!! Big thanks to my mom for making us these fun shirts!

We’ve carried these Mickey ears for 3 years and many miles through 30+ states. I’m sentimental about very few things but this was one because he wore them for his first birthday at the magic kingdom. And when […]

DIY Star Wars Mandalorian costume

We homeschool on an alternative schedule and have been on break the last few months. Taryn spent a chunk of that time creating this DIY Star Wars Mandalorian costume. The entire thing, even the helmet, is created with cardboard! I’m so impressed with her, the detail is really amazing right down to the intentional dents – it was so much work! She even made the blaster and carved the knife herself. Her costume is based on a character named Vhipir.
