Visit with the WEST family!!!!

Two weeks ago the kids and I took a trip to Orlando to see the West family. Danae and Brian were our neighbors in Charleston and are by far one of my favorite families ever!! Well, almost 5 and a half years ago they moved away and we have not seen them since- or until last week that is.

We got there a few hours before their flight arrived so the kids and I went to the Rainforest cafe for lunch and walked around Downtown Disney. Their flight seemed like days waiting to see them... and As Danae put it when we saw her... REUNITED AND IT FEELS SO GOOD!!!

It was so fun to see their family again. Since they have moved, they have had two beautiful babies (not babies anymore) that I was able to meet for the first time. We had so much fun seeing each other- we all did not want to leave- so we didnt!! We stayed the night in their hotel so the kids could play and we could catch up. Oh how I love that family. Morning came way too soon and it was time to leave.
