Walt Disney World: Day 5,6, & 7

On Tuesday, we headed over Disney's Animal Kingdom.  We only spent about 1/2 the day their but we had a ton of fun!  We went on the safari ride and met some of the characters from Winnie the Pooh!  

Bryson also had a chance to play in their giant sandbox!  At first he examined it, then he played with it, and finally he tried to eat it, which is when we decided to call it quits!

On our final day of vacation, we thought we would spend the morning at downtown disney for a little lunch and shopping, where Bryson had a chance to ride a carousel for the first time!  

After that, we headed back to the hotel for Bryson's first swim!  He absolutely LOVED the water!  

That evening we went over to a neighboring hotel for a luau!  Unfortunately, the show got cancel due to a bad storm that came in but we still got to enjoy dinner and our last night of vacation together!

Unfortunately,  on Thursday, it was time for us to pack up and head back to Ohio!  By then, I had realized that Bryson was beginning to get sick, so the flight home wasn't as smooth as the way there!  

We were so blessed to be able to have such a wonderful first vacation with Bryson!  Watching him enjoy everything so much gave us nothing but pure joy and we had more fun than we could have ever imagined!   

Walt Disney World: Day 3 & 4

On Sunday, we ventured off to Disney's Hollywood studios where Bryson had the chance to meet Winnie the Pooh (one of his favorites) and Buzz Lightyear and Woody!  Bryson also got to play at the "Honey I Shrunk the Kids" playground!  There wasn't too many rides we could go on with a baby but it was still a super fun day!

We spent Monday at the Magic Kingdom!  It was incredibly packed but we still had an amazing day!  We got to see the daytime parade and see a live Mickey & friends show!  We also saw a 3D movie!  

We took Bryson on the "Pirates of the Caribbean" ride and rode The Walt Disney Railroad around the park!!!

Bryson also got his first haircut at Disney but I will post about that a little later!  

Walt Disney World: Day 1 & 2

Last Friday, Jeff, Bryson, & I jetted off to Orlando, FL for Jeff to attend a Duke Radiology course and to also go to the Disney parks!  It was Bryson's first plane trip and he was awesome, he even fell asleep for more than 1/2 of the flight.

On Saturday, after Jeff finished up his morning at the conference, we headed over to Epcot!  We first headed back to the countries to get some lunch!  We decided on Germany for Brats and Beers!  We then did some walking around and had a chance to meet Mickey, Minnie, & Donald Duck!  We took Bryson on the "Finding Nemo" ride and he fell asleep in line (we did take him on it again later), we ate dinner at a great restaurant that was surrounded by a live aquarium.    

It was a wonderful day, full of smiles and excitement for all of us! 

Happy Valentine's Day

Visit from Grammy & Papa!

A few weekends ago, Grammy and Papa Rodgers came down for a visit!  Bryson had so much fun showing them all of his toys and playing together!





Showing off his mad skills!



Papa playing Angry Birds!







We got to go out for an early dinner at BJ's Brewery on Sunday and Bryson was a champ!  We had a wonderful few days with them and can't wait for them to come for a visit again soon
