Day 4 - Celebration, FL, The Polynesian, and Ohana

Celebration, Florida - Mommy went in for a Starbucks.  Guess who did NOT need extra energy?

Later that day we went to the Polynesian Hotel.  This is one of my favorites, and Lisa and I have memories of it from our visit in high school when her parents graciously let me tag along on a family vacation.

 

We spent some time walking around the grounds of the hotel.  It is so cute there and so much to see!

 

 We got a little shopping in while we waited for our table.

 

 My poor Andrew slept through most of dinner...

The girls and women were invited up to get lei'd and learn a to do little hula...

 

After the ladies danced, the girls got to bring someone up with them to dance.  Of course they went and got their daddy!

 

 Yes, Andrew was still sleeping...

 Tiki booty...

 Poor boy, this trip was exhausting for him.

Thanksgiving

Mike's Aunt Jane was in town during Thanksgiving (and most of the time I was out of town with my mom).  At least we got to spend a few days together.  She was an enormous blessing during November!

 

She also brought crafts along, the kids worked together to make our placecards! 

 (fyi - Gianna's lips are very dry and cracked, so they look a little strange...)
