Disney World!

Guess where we spent Fall Break...



Disney World!! We had a wonderful trip. It truly is the Happiest Place on Earth. Magical. Fun. Special. I loved it and can't wait to return in a few years.

I've just sifted through 300 pictures and wanted to share some highlights here.

My parents joined us on the trip and we all stayed in a really cool place that had a little water park. The kids loved playing on it the first day we arrived. I thought it was a little cold, but joined in on the action a little.



We spent one full day at Magic Kingdom. Here we are as we arrived!! (The ears were just for the picture...they stayed in the car the rest of the day.)


One of the boy's favorite rides was Buzz Lightyear Space Ranger Spin. You shoot the bad guys with these laser guns and get points. At the end of the ride, you can see who had the most points. Once Derrick won and the other time my Dad collected the most points. It was fun for all ages!!




The other favorite ride was Space Mountain, of course. The boys rode it four times. It was great fun!


Amanda's highlight was meeting the princesses. They were wonderful and spent so much time with each little girl. Cinderella won Amanda's heart with her kindness.


Belle taught Amanda how to twirl.


And Aurora wore pink...what more could you ask of her?



Amanda's other favorite ride was "riding the elephant." She loves elephants, so was thrilled to ride one.

The second day was a bit more hectic. We hopped between parks. The boys wore their Mater shirts and the cast members called them "Mater" all day.


We saw the stage show of Beauty and the Beast and that sealed it for Amanda that Belle is her favorite princess. She was entranced with the entire 30 minute performance.



Here are Andrew and I getting ready for Star Tours. It was the end of the day and certainly one of the best rides.


Each child picked out a souvenir to bring home.
