Birthday, 2nd eye surgery, & Florida!

So I am finally in my late twenties! ;) I turned 28 on the 7th and had a great day! I went shopping and to lunch with my sisters-in-law and then Jared, Zack and I went out to dinner and ice cream for dinner. YUM!
The next day I went in for my second eye surgery. My retina was detached after 3 weeks, so 4 weeks from the first surgery I went back in. This time around it wasn't as bad, but still not fun. There were even a couple of nurses that remembered me (SAD!). Either way, with this surgery, the dr. took the gas bubble out of my eye and put in a silicone oil... which means that the Florida trip was back on!
SO Saturday we left for Florida!! Woohoo!!

The plane ride wasn't too bad for me thanks to Jared for helping with Zack so much. I was obviously super tired from surgery and was able to sleep part of the way. Zack loved the airport/airplane, so that was a fun start to our trip. Sunday we just hung out at the house and had a casual day (much needed!).
On Monday we headed to Epcot. This was totally different than I imagined, but was pretty fun too. So many cool things to see and eat there!

Tuesday we went to the Magic Kingdom! Obvious favorite here. It was so much like Disneyland that it felt like we kind of knew where to go, so that was nice. But the best part of this day for me was when we got to go the "Not so scary Halloween Party" that night. We all got to trick or treat around the park, we danced with Woody, Jessie, and Bullseye, we walked onto ANY ride we wanted, and we got to see a fun villian parade. This was one of the highlights of the trip for me!




Wednesday we took a break and went to the beach. Say no more, I'm happy as can be! I loved watching Zack in the sand. He was in heaven!!

Thursday we went to Animal Kingdom. Again, not what I had imagined it would be, but still a lot of fun for the kids. Ooh, and we went to Chevy's for dinner without the kids that night... YUMMM!!


Friday we went to Hollywood Studios. I personally am still a bigger fan of Universal Studios, but this was a great Disney version. It was fun to see some shows and have a slower day.

Saturday we went back to the beach because everyone had so much fun. It was a great way to end the trip... most of us coming back with sunburns! :)

That looks so fun. I absolutely love the first picture of Zack pulling his bag through the airport. He looks so grown up.
