Our camping trip at Fort Wilderness!
So the weekend of my Birthday, in January we went camping. It happened to be the coldest weekend in Florida of the year. We went because at Disney this year you can get in free on your birthday, so I could get in free, Jolee can still get in free, so there for we only had to buy 1 ticket for Silas. I'm all about saving some money.And Jolee has been dying to see Cinderella's castle. So we went, we chose to camp, #1 because it is cheaper than a hotel, #2 Jolee and her daddy love it , #3 Fort Wilderness at Disney looked like a cool place and #4 it is good quality family time. We didn't know at the time of planning and booking that it was going to be so cold!

Jolee loved it! She loved wearing her hat and gloves! While Silas and I put up the tent she gathered up pine cones and put them in a straight line (she gets the OCD thing from her father) and called it her pine cone collection!

At the camp, you get on a Disney bus and ride to whatever attraction on the camp you want to visit. This was Jolee's 1st time on a bus and she loved it, a matter of fact she loved it so much when we got to our destination...the petting zoo, she cried because she didn't want to get off the bus ride.


Just running around having fun!



I told you it was freezing!!! It was so cold the horses even had on jackets!!!

That night we went to the "Chip N Dale" sing along at the camp. It was so cute, we all did the hokey poky, and danced and sang along with them.



Mommy and Jolee trying to stay warm at the camp fire. After the sing along, we watched 101 Dalmatians on a big screen outside. It was a lot of fun, cold but fun!



This is as close, as Jolee would let us get to "Chip N Dale"!

All in all, despite the 30 degree weather, the flannel pj's I slept in, and the 5 blankets that we had on us that night, and despite that I woke up on my Birthday frozen solid on a air mattress in a tent, we had a great time being together!
We cant wait to go back, when it is.... WARMER! A post on the day at Disney coming later!
