Welcome to Lake Michigan!

Oh..... the things you'll see at the beach!!  Darling is a water baby and LOVES the beach!  We don't live too far from Lake Michigan and the weather was nice last Saturday so we headed over to this GREAT little town, Grand Haven.  Can you believe the temperature was about 20 degrees cooler on the water?

Guess who wished she'd brought her snow pants!?

 1st off save the comments, I am in NO way making fun (ok, a little) of this gal or commenting on her weight, she was actually quite darling, but....or should I say BUTT?!  If you butt is trying to eat your swimsuit, just get the next size up... it's ok, really!!

 After Tiger-booty got done throwing the football around with her boyfriend, they got down to BUSINESS.... and by "business" I mean: digging a GIANT hole.  I told the Mister they must have seen Darling and how cute she is and they were digging their way to China to get their own little sweetie!!  They borrowed someones shovel and frisbee and dug as if their life depended on it....

 and that was the last we saw of those 2....but their hole lives on!

 I also saw a lady walking a giant blue parrot down the beach.  I don't know, is that weird only to me?  Next time I'm taking my goldfish, Goldie, in a zip loc baggie-she LOVES the water!

and Yes, I do have a great zoom on my camera!  Gotta go, the National Enquirer is calling, I promised them a close up of the Sperm-a-nator and his love child....

I'm dreaming of some HOT weather...

So, it wasn't scalding in FL, in fact, the first 2 days we were there we had the heat and coats ON!

Here we are headed to our 1st day at Disney with my parents, notice the NON-Florida clothing!
AND the frost scraped off the car!!!!!

Don't forget your gloves when visiting Florida!!

...and then I saw it!!!!!!!

The Magic Kingdom!!!  

The last time I was there, I was so excited I threw up my orange juice on the blue shag carpet in our Blue Jeans Van (Blue Jeans Van post...click here!).  You know yellow and blue make green, so that was the new color of the carpet where i puked!

You are welcome!!  

Rest assured I did NOT puke this time...

Darling daughter was so excited she couldn't stand it... 

Wait, I was so excited, she couldn't stand ME!

 If you are going to Disney anytime soon....Watch out for the Rascal Gangs:

 and, if you are under 5' tall, get ready to see a LOT of this:

 and this:

 and a little bit of this:

 We went to It's a Small World... it was just as cute as I remember!!! We rode this both days we were at the park, it's TOO CUTE.  Darling and I decided we'd like to get outta the boat and just live there.  I asked Darling if she thought when we moved in we should kill the music before it drove us nuts and she said "definitely, cause it's kinda already making me crazy!"

We stayed for the Electric Street Parade

 and the way they light up the castle at night is UNbelievable!!  It was beyond gorgeous and my picture just does not do it ANY justice at all...

So all in all, the vacation, though not the hottest, was wonderful!!  I always consider a vacation a success when the plane doesn't crash- don't you?!

I've got lots to tell you: DIY's, new inventory for chinamommy and the Misters new "diet"....

We'll chat later, ok?
