The Pretzel Challenge

This is how we roll on a rainy, cold weekend. Welcome to the pretzel challenge. It's tougher than it looks. Can you do it?

The challenge. Can you bite middle part out, without breaking the outer circle?

Ice Skating

The the Saturday after Christmas Brian, Nolan and I headed to Baytown Wharf, where they have an outdoor skating rink. Pretty crazy thing to have in Florida, huh? Especially since it was about 65 degrees that day! I was pretty bummed I couldn't skate and kept promising Brian I wouldn't fall, but when I saw all the people on the rink who were a bit wild and running into other people, I decided it was best for me and the babies to sit this one out. Nolan did really good and even skated by himself a bit. We then went to the playground for a while and finished the day with some ice cream.

The boys begin:

Of course this was the ice cream Nolan wanted. And he had been so good that day we obliged. But let me just say, that the next day I was VERY glad our little man is potty trained!

Hollywood Studios

So our last of the park days was also our last day at Disney and we spent it at Hollywood Studios. There truly wasn't enough time in the day for us to see everything here we wanted! I wish it weren't the end of the week, we were all so tuckered out by that point, especially Nolan, but he still had a great time.

This was outside of the 'stunts' show we went to. There were racing cars, cars on fire, people shooting, jumping through fire. And then they would explain how it was done. Nolan was enthralled, and actually so was I!

Nolan and Daddy: The streets of San Fransisco! Just in case you don't have a 3 year old and didn't know, this is Leo from Little Einsteins (on Playhouse Disney). Nolan was ecstatic, he loves the show! Here he is giving Leo a hug:

This was the awesome parade they have. They have the kids dance, too, and interact lots with the crowd:

Maddie was a star, she really got into it!Nolan and I on the Toy Story ride. It's a 3-D ride where you get to shoot balloons and bad guys for points. It was awesome!
