Disney World 2009

Well, we're back from Disney World. We had a lot of fun, but it was so hot. I read when I got home it was a record high in Florida for June. Figures! Jennifer, Scotty and Tyler were there too so we hung out with them some. Reece rode his first roller coaster (he ended up riding it 3 times) and held his hands up in the air every time. I told him he needed to hold on! :-) Ryan rode Expedition Everest for the first time (3 times total). And that is not a kiddie coaster! We had a few meals with characters and Reece ignored them the whole time. He would turn his head away and pretend they weren't even there. We're not sure why because when we stood in line waiting for the characters, he interacted with them. It would figure when we are paying to eat with the characters in the air conditioning he would ignore them, but wanted to see them when we stood in a long line in the 99 degree heat. We will definitely be working around teacher workdays or school holidays for a while when it is cooler in Florida.

Ryan singing

Ryan's class plus two other classes did a song for parents on Friday, June 5. Afterwards, each class had an ice cream party. Ryan did great! The song used sign language along with singing. Ryan sat over to the side since he doesn't like loud noise (think dozens of kids singing very loudly behind him right into his ear - his teacher said he kept covering his ears because it was bothering him so much during practice). So she let him sit over to the side. He did an awesome job with his sign language! I don't have any pictures of the actual performance because I was videotaping it. Three more days of school!!!!
