Back to Blogging!

I've not had Internet access for over a week so here's a big update full of pictures!

Dean visiting the ruins of Pompeii in Italy during a business trip the week before Disney.

We're back home now after a fun-filled trip to Walt Disney World! We had a very busy but fabulous time! We stayed at the Fort Wilderness cabins which were great for the family, but didn't have free Internet access. Dean's sister and her family and Nana Milne went with us.
Jacob at Epcot - he loved that ball
Our ride in the front of the monorail - Jacob's favorite attraction at WDW.
Julie and Zack in the Astro Orbiter which went a little faster than expected!
Jacob loved driving the race cars on the track!
Zack mesmerized by his spinning Mickey.
Our wet evening at Disney Studios.
Thank goodness Nana stayed at the cabin with the 3 little boys!
Highlights includes the ride in the front car of the monorail, the Spectromagic parade, lots of fireworks, "it's a small world" which the boys loved, the Rock-n-Roller Coaster for mommy and daddy, watching roller coasters for the boys, and some awesome shows like Nemo and Lion King.

A sad part of our trip was hearing that Grandma Eckroth (Martina's mom) passed away on Tuesday. It was not unexpected as she had been ill for a long time, but it is a great loss for our family. Her funeral service is tomorrow in Seattle.


Many thanks to Nana and Pop Hopper for hosting all the Yohos and Milnes on the return trip and for dog-sitting Skipper! And to the Hinsons for crab-sitting!
