We've been celebrating all week with Braelyn being out of school for Spring Break. A lot of trips and Daddy/Daughter dates to the Disney parks, bike rides, pool visits, and lots of treats have filled our days to the brim! And with the time change and weather in the mid to high 80's, it seems as if we've skipped Spring altogether and have entered into the summer months already…in March!
So, without further ado…
Helping make breakfast for the twins before school on Friday.
Then we took a bike ride out to Winter Garden for brunch.
At our favorite French restaurant, she ordered her usual Nutella crepe.
She was given a free dessert for her birthday by our waitress!
Here's what she chose!
Dropping off our eBay sale at the Post Office. Unfortunately I miscalculated the shipping cost.
So I ended up paying more for the shipping, which negated the money gained on the sale.
Oye.
We went to Avon Park to spend the weekend and see Grandpa Isidro one last time before
he leaves for the Philippines next week. This was our first night there.
At church, the twins sat with Lolo and Lala.
Brae wanted to hang out with the big kids.
Our good friend Roger came in to see us for lunch!
Inspecting Lolo's jackfruit! One for each!
Braelyn sharing her birthday dessert with Grandpa Isidro!
Night #2.
The Atiga's hosted Grandpa's farewell party.
I don't think we had enough food...

Playing with the horse Grandpa Isidro gave them.
Monday Brae and I had a Daddy/Daughter date to the Magic Kingdom after we
dropped the twins off. Here she packs her snacks.
She brought her new chapter book to read on the way, and for when we waited in lines.
Like at the 7 Dwarfs Mine Train. We were in line for 90 minutes!!
On the steamboat taking a break.
Meanwhile, Mommy picked the twins up from school and went to the Magic Kingdom as well!
We all had different fast passes so we never saw each other.
Riding Big Thunder Mountain.
Maddy and Belle.

and Minnie!
Meanwhile, we were able to meet the Frozen sisters, Queen Elsa and
Princess Anna!
We took the monorail over to EPCOT and rode Test Track, before watching the fireworks and heading home.
Early Tuesday morning I hooked up with Jack McClarty, who was back in town this week for vacation with his family.
We rode 27 miles to Lake Minneola and back.
It was a glorious day, which made up for the grueling ride.
Susie and the kids met up with us in Winter Garden for brunch after our ride.
Met up with Tangie and the kids at EPCOT afterwards.
The kids participated in the Monsters Inc. Scare School.
It was a really hot day. And Kohlden really had to go to the bathroom.
Meeting Captain Hook! Mommy doesn't seem that impressed with his hat.
Kohl didn't have any paper so he decided to write on his face.
Never heard Duffy the bear, but we took a picture with him anyway.
We split up for the ride home. Waving to Mommy and the twins as Brae and I continued
to our other car.
Hot enough to try out the pool! The water was still cold though!
Another Daddy/Daughter date on Wednesday, this time to Animal Kingdom.
A little nervous, me riding the roller coaster Everest for the first time!
We received a dousing on the Kali River Rapids ride!
The back of her shirt and shorts were soaked!
Spent some time grooming some swine.
Met up with Mommy our lawyer's office to sign our Living Will documents that afternoon.
Maddy tries out some new shoes.
Big sister assists Kohl on the computer at the library.

She finished her new chapter book and wanted more on the series, so we swung by the library to pick up some more!
Putting together some jelly belly goody bags for her classmates to celebrate her birthday on next week.
Uncle Mike is in town for a job, and swung by on his way down to Avon Park. The kids were very excited!
Double load getting heavier!
Randoms:
Helped Lala clear her iPad for their trip to the Philippines, and deleted almost 3000 pictures!
Braelyn wanted to start selling her rock collection on eBay!
Random person sleeping at the Magic Kingdom.
As was this guy at EPCOT. We thought that lady was going to sit on his head!
Brae noticed a guy wearing my shirt. She said that I should tell him that.
Pointing to one of hundreds of hidden Mickeys around the parks.
Quote:
Heading to IKEA on Thursday morning, we passed by the Mall at Millenia:
Me: [Pointing] "Hey guys, this is where Daddy used to work."
Brae: "Where?"
Me: "This building. It's called a mall."
Maddy & Kohl: "Yay!! We're going to the mall!!" [pause]
Thank you guys for coming down to say farewell to Grandpa Isidro. Mike also came to surprise him, he was so happy! Loved all the pictures and the videos. Someone was screaming the whole time he was riding the roller coaster! Have a good spring/summer time and we'll see you in 6 weeks! Lala
I think I heard Daddy screaming more than Braelyn on the many rides!!! Did you get your I-phone wet on that water ride? Looks like Brae had a very good week before her birthday! Love to you all! Nana
