MIckey's House

To Mikey Mouse's House we went. Last Saturday March 17th we headed out to Disney World for a family vacation with Trey's family. We had a good time after a really rough start. I guess you could just call it what has become a typical Watts family vacation.

These first 2 pics are of Cooper getting ready to fly in his first plane. He did so good. The only time he had problems was the landing. His ears bothered him so bad when coming down. But during the plane ride he would play with his stickers and we would read books and that kept him entertained. He loved being able to sit in his on seat like a big boy.



Day 1 of vacation we headed out to the Houston Astros spring training game vs the Braves. It was a beautiful day for a baseball game. When we got there we went and got Cooper a baseball so that he could have it autographed. At times he did not want to give the players his ball or pen. It was fun to watch him. Then the excitement started. We were into the 3rd inning when Trey decided to be a hero and save Cooper and I. We had seats on the first base line about 5 rows up. Great seats but dangerous all at the same time. Cooper was in my lap distracting me with something and I hear everyone scream. When I looked up there was a ball headed right for coopers head at probably 100 mph or more. Trey quickly reacted and threw his hand over in front of us and the ball bounced off his inner hand near his thumb and went up into the upper deck. Thank goodness Trey still has quick reflexes. Trey then went and had it checked out which they did nothing really except give him an ice pack. We stayed a little longer and then left the game. Great start to the vacation.

Day 2: So we thought we had a great plan for this day, but that all changed. Trey was really hurting so he wanted to go get it looked at and get something for the pain. So Trey's dad said he would take him. So Cooper, Emilie and I loaded up and headed to Animal Kingdom and thought that as soon as Trey got done at the urgent care place he could meet up with us. Well he had to wait there for 2 hours and then when they did see him they said it looked dislocated and they could not do anything for him and sent him to the ER. They did not even give him something for the pain. So off they went to the ER. Meanwhile we are having fun at the park and then Cooper had explosive diarrhea. It was lunch and nap time so we headed back to the condo. Trey and I kept texting each other so that I knew what was going on with him. Well the ER there is terrible and he waited for 7 hours before even getting seen. Then after they xrayed his hand they thought there might be tendon damage and wrapped him up. So thinking that he is almost done, I then get a text saying that he cannot stop throwing up and so they are giving him some fluids. So I head up to the ER to be with him and relieve his dad. He was almost done with his fluids when I got there. At this point I could not take anymore. The wonderful world of pregnancy hormones and the stress of everything just hit me. I just start crying and just want to go to the airport and go home. And that is how day 2 went. Fun Right?

Day 3: Cooper and I woke up and come to find out everyone had come down with a stomach virus. Trey had gotten the day before and Trey's mom had gotten it Monday night and Emilie woke up with it Tuesday morning. So Cooper and I were on our own for the day. It was a Mommy Son day. We went to downtown disney and shopped and had a great lunch. It was a nice relaxing day. Come to find out there were some many people all coming down with this virus around there.




Day 4: Yeah everyone is feeling good and we got to go to the parks. We went to Hollywood Studios first that morning and rode some rides and watched some shows. Later that day we went back to Animal Kingdom and did things there again. It was a fun day.

Day 5: This day was for Magic Kingdom. You almost need 2 days at this park with little kids because there is so much to do and see. We rode a lot of rides and then got to see the parade at the end of the day which was so good. We had planned on watching the fireworks but Cooper had had enough and wanted to go to bed.
Cooper Meeting Minnie and Mickey. He gave Minnie a hug and Mickey a high five.
Cooper finally rode a horse on a carousel. This is Cooper and Nana

Day 6: Was a relax day and get ready to travel back home. We slept in until 1130. Can you believe that? We were all so tired. I think I am still tired from the week. We went back to downtown disney for the day and ate lunch and shopped around again. Then later that day we took Cooper to the pool to play.
