Right before school started up, the Texas Rangers came to Baltimore to play the Orioles. This means "Baseball Darren" comes to the area. Andrew is really good about checking on when the Rangers come so we can maybe see Darren O'Day pitch.

We headed to Baltimore and we sit next to the bull pen so that we can chat with Darren for a bit. Darren was so nice to offer a ball to Landon and he signed it!

We sat here for most of the game and watched Darren warm up.

Libbie had a great time too!

We watched Darren warm up, hoping he would get in the game...unfortunately Darren didn't get in...maybe next time!

More Florida

After Orlando, we took it pretty easy in Jacksonville. I was able to do some wedding dress shopping with KC, I met with some friends, we played with Kinley and Chance, and we hung out with my parents.We ended our trip with Kinley & Chance's 3rd Birthday! We were super happy to celebrate with them. Kinley wanted Dora cupcakes and Chance wanted a Thomas the Train cake. I think they both turned out great!
Chance loved his cake...
and Kinley surely enjoyed her cupcakes!
Before presents, the boys relaxed together watching cartoons
and Kinley and Libbie hung out together in the family room.
The night before we left we went to visit friends of ours, the Gooch's. They welcomed their daughter, Avery, a month after we welcomed Libbie. We hadn't met her or seen their new house, so we spent the evening catching up.
When we got back Libbie wanted to make sure to pose for pics with Papa Frosty,
Emma,
and Uncle Danny.
We were super sad to leave but so glad we were able to spend almost 3 weeks in Jacksonville.

Orlando

In August we headed to Florida for our last vacation of the summer. We started the trip off in Orlando. We stopped first at Universal Studios to see the new Harry Potter Section. We went with Ali and Danny since they are huge Harry Potter fans like me.
it was pretty amazing to see your imagination come to life! I was a bit nervous that I would be disappointed because it has been getting poor reviews. I was not disappointed at all. There aren't many rides but that didn't bother me. I was impressed with all the details.
After going through Hogsmeade, we headed to the Dr. Seuss area for Landon. Landon and I rode One fish, Two fish and the whole family rode the carousel and Landon and daddy took a train tour of the area.

After Universal, all of us headed for a bar-b-que with Sean, KC, the twins and KC's family. We had a great time and enjoyed great food. Kinley and Chance have a Dora and Batman mask that they shared with Landon & Libbie.

The next day was DISNEY!!!!!

Libbie was dressed for the occasion (so was Landon and the twins)

Landon got to meet Buzz Lightyear. He was so excited to see him while we waited in line but once it was his turn to go up Landon didn't want to. At least he would go near Buzz when Andrew held him.

Landon and Chance had a great time together.
Landon loved driving the race cars...
and now it's official, Landon has his Disney driver's license.
We made it all day at the park.

We had a wonderful time but were very exhausted at the end of the day!
