Disney

This past weekend we were in Orlando for the Princess Half Marathon and to take the girls to Disney!  It was a fabulous trip!  We stayed 2 nights with jason's Dad and stepmom and one night at Disney.  The Princess half was great!  I was  up at 230am to catch the bus from the hotel at 3am!  We were in a holding area until 430am and it was 39 degrees out!  Seriously, I almost died.  It was the most miserable I've felt in a VERY long time.  We were then able to walk to the start line and our corrals which was about a 20 min walk.  I was in corral A and was one of the first runners out of the gate.  The race was fabulous - a lot of fun and so much to look at!  I kep to my aveage pace of 8:20 min miles but ran a few around 7:30 min/mile and at few at 9 min/mile.  I ended up with a finishing time of 1:49!!  I was super excited as I had set a goal for 1:45-1:50.  I shaved 5 minutes off my last half!  I ended up 61st in my age group out of 1200 women 30-34.  I was 301 out of all the women who ran 11000+ and 326 overall out of 13000+ people!  Jason and the girls didnt make it to the finish line in time as it was CRAZY trying to get around the park but we met up after the race and I was so happy to see them!  We went back to the hotel, changed and checked out and headed back to Magic Kingdom.

Madelyn was in awe when she saw Cinderella's castle.  We rode Peter Pan, Dumbo, Magic carpet and Pirates of the Carribbean and Mackenzie went on all of them except Pirates!  She was so good I seriously could not believe it.  We also saw a 10 min 3D movie and Mady was mesmerized, Mac was even super excited and sat throughout the whole thing!  We then saw the parade and we got to see all the characters - even Cinderella!  The whole day was awesome and both girls didnt sleep a wink. 

Mackenzie is now crawling like crazy, pointing, pulling up and even has her first tooth!  She is eating so much table food and is not exclusively on formula.  She really hasnt had a lot of interest in milk - she would rather eat and she eats a lot! 

This weekend Steph, Ashley and the kids are coming down for Spring Break.  We are really looking forward to it.  I'm looking at my next half in April and then have to figure out what I'm going to do for the summer months.
