Wrapping up February

Spring pictures at school!
 The girls enjoyed celebrating and dressing up for Rodeo day at school.
 Benicio was rocking on the guitar and Chad to the piano watching Chuck Berry and Richie Vallens. 
 We were excited to see Valkyrie on the front cover of the Robots book in the girls Scholastic magazine.  So we had to get it.
 On the inside another Robot Papi has worked on LS3.
 And of course Atlas.
 There is a mystery going on with Chad's car at the moment.  It has a smell of gas going on, he is working hard to figure it out, already spent a whole weekend on it, and replaced several things.  He thinks he has the problem figured out.  Nothing can be easy.  Here he his testing the fuel injectors.
Violet had her yearly performance, it was the "Pop Show" this year.

 Trying to get to bed....
 My favorite tree on the street in it's full glory!
 Excited for Spring!

Disney and more Florida Fun

We got in the van after being picked up from the airport the first thing Benicio says is "Where is Chuchi?"  It was the cutest thing ever. 

After all the wedding fun we had one day to enjoy in Florida.
It was a Monday and the Florida kids were in school so we thought it would be fun to take the girls to Disney.  

Benicio received his birthday present a UF jersey and a "super" bath towel. 

We love Abuelo!!
We arrived at Disney and  immediately walked into a parade. 


I was so close to my favorite character Mary Poppins, "practically perfect in every way!"
Chad's work is having a picture competition for safety awareness on the job so we took some shots with the Think 5 sign around the park. The prize for the best picture is $500.  The kids were so done with the sign by the end of the day.  
Abuela, Tio Miguel and Violet were brave and went on the Pirates of the Caribbean ride.



while Lucia and I rode on the Aladdin's magic carpet ride. 




Then we all headed on the It's a Small world ride, and only had to wait 30 min, score!






Lucia, Tio Miguel and I rode the new Snow White and the 7 dwarfs roller coaster.  That was our longest wait at 70 min. 
They at least had little games along the line for entertainment.  At the bottom Miguel took an amazing video of the whole ride a MUST see. LOL.

the picture right after the roller coaster ride. 

Abuela and Violet went on the carousel and Winnie the Pooh ride. 










Then Lucia got to jump on the carousel ride. 




another one of my FAVORITE movies..sword and the stone.
Lunch time and everyone is getting sleepy. 




Our last ride for the day...



As I am taking a picture I hear my name "Janet" and when I turn around there is the Delange family from Houston!  "Yes it is a small world after all!"
Thank you Abuelo and Abuela for the the fun day at Disney, the girls loved it and it was a PERFECT time to go!

We then got to relax...




and the next day we were at the airport again...


Benicio loved the wedding trail mix as a treat on the way home.
Thank you again Abuela and Abuelo for everything.  We had fun with you and look forward to our next gathering!!  Love you so much!
