Disney!

For the first time ever, the school schedules lined up and everyone was out of school on the same day. We celebrated the beginning of summer with a short trip to Orlando.  We had one day in the parks and one day to play at our hotel.

Ready for our big day at the park!  We began the day at Animal Kingdom to ride Expedition Everest (our favorite coaster of all time!)  The biggest surprise of the day was that Amanda was tall enough to ride it.  It was her first coaster ever and she couldn't decide if she loved it or hated it.  But I know she was really excited to have ridden it.

We also enjoyed the show at Its Tough to be a Bug.

We spent most of the day at Disney Hollywood Studios.  Amanda LOVED the Beauty and the Beast show as much as she loved it last time we went.

The boys, meanwhile, enjoyed the Rockin' Roller Coaster and the Tower of Terror.  

Mmmmm...there's nothing better to beat the heat than a Mickey Ice Cream.

We spent most of Friday playing at our hotel and enjoying a memorable lunch at the Rainforest Cafe in Downtown Disney.
