Disney World 2011

Magic Kingdom and kids
Our visit with Mickey and his friends have come and gone.
We had a super fun time as you can imagine!

When we were boarding the airplane getting ready to head to Florida, we realized that we forgot our double stroller and thought "oh no!" But we soon found out that these two tough cookies didn't miss it at all. They walked their little legs off and didn't complain one bit.

I don't brag too often about my kids but I'm about too...

They were soooooo good this whole trip. In fact on our last day we had a couple stop to tell us they had been watching the kids and they wanted to let us know how good they thought they were! I was a proud Mamma!
Testing the pool
As soon as we checked in the first thing on our list was to scope out the resort and see what the pool looked like. And yes... it was FABULOUS!
We just dipped our toes in and then took off to Hollywood Studio for the evening.
Isaiah on Toy Story
Our first ride of the evening was Toy Story
Family toy story
A popular one for Ray because he got to shoot at things!
40 inches tall!
And this was one of Isaiah's proudest moments of the trip!
He made it to 40 inches! He felt so big the entire trip and every time he was asked to get measured... he did it proudly! In fact when they didn't ask him, he wanted someone to acknowledge his height so he could let them know that he was a big boy this year and could ride all the bog boy rides.

I have to mention (and I need to scan our pic of it) that Abbie rode Space Mountain this year! She BARELY made the height requirement. I think she had some high soled shoes to do it but she did... and she rode right smack dab in the front of the spaceship! The lady even asked several times if she was okay to ride it and she was! If you have never rode this ride, I can tell you it is scary even for me and I get nervous going on it! But thrill seeker Abbie loved every second of it!!!!
Princess Collage
I think we met every princess there is. We had dinner and breakfast with them which was a big highlight for the kids. Isaiah loved it just as much as Abbie did.
Kermit the frog
Nothing special about the Kermit picture. I just like it! =)
kids epcot
And I also like this one. =)
We almost made it around Epcot this year.
Abbie and Isaiah at Epcot
I don't know how we missed the GM Test Drive ride the past two times at Disney World/Epcot but know that we've been on it, it has become one of our favorite rides.

This is our third year in a row going to Disney World and I cant believe all the things we had missed as were just seeing now.

We had never seen Fantasmic at Hollywood Studio's, The fireworks show at Epcot, rode Star Tours or had seen the Beauty and the Beast Show.

And can you believe how many pictures I'm popping up in!?! lol
I made it a point to be in some this year. I've realized lately that there are not many of the kids with me and especially us together as a family.

Alice and kids
This is probably my favorite Character picture with the kids. They both actually were looking at the camera at the same time! Plus... they lovedddddd Alice. Her and Mary Poppin's spent a lot of time with the kids at our breakfast. In fact I need to upload a video of Isaiah talking to Mary Poppin's. He asked if he could go to her house and told her about all the fun things they could do together! lol
Swimming pool Collage
On Friday and Saturday Night we were up super late at The Night of Joy. This was a two day concert and we got to see Toby Mac, Skillet, Mercy Me, Newsboys, Jeremy Camp and Jars of Clay.

So on Sunday, our last full day, we took it easy and hung out by the pool mostly.

On or next Disney World vacation we will need to buy another pair of ears and do everything all over again for guess who???? (Actually we just use the kids as an excuse for Ray and I to go over and over again, don't tell anybody)

    Isn't it nice that you actually went on vacation and have pictures with you in it to prove it!

  3. So jealous, and you will be our travel agent when I ever get Tim to agree to go. Love all of the pics, can't believe they walked and didn't complain. They sure are growing up. Hope to see more pics and see some new info on the new little one. From Kathy E
