Fun with Mickey

This summer Tim's mom took all of us to Florida on a Disney cruise and to the parks. 

In front of our ship, Disney Dream

Nassau Bahamas

Pirate night on the ship

5K on Castaway Cay - Disney's private island

We would get random visitors in our porthole on the ship. 

After a fabulous cruise we spent 6 nights at the parks at the Bay Lake Tower. We visited Magic Kingdom, Animal Kingdom, Epcot and Hollywood studios.

The whole gang

Tim celebrated his 40th birthday while we were there.  He wanted to eat dinner at ESPN. While we were there we saw Shaq.

Our Gymnast

McKenzie had been going to gymnastics for a few years when last October we were approached by they owners of her gym asking her to try out for team.  At first Tim and I were not going to let her do it because of the cost and the time commitment but we are so glad we let her live out this dream. 

Waiting for her turn to compete.

Grandpa and Grandma Mertie came to watch her when she competed at Crown Center.

On the podium

 These girls are so close.

McKenzie made it to state and competed in St Joseph MO.  Jason and Zelda & Mom and Dad all came to watch her compete. 

We had a little time before her meet so we toured the Pony Express museum. These two had a good time dressing up.

McKenzie's team was also invited to do a dance/tumbling routine before the Mizzou home gymnastics meet.
