Disney part 4

Day 1 we went to Magic Kingdom ALL DAY. We were leaving around 9pm during the fireworks, which was not good planning. Will HATES fireworks and cried for about 30 minutes while we were pushing our way through the crowds down Main Street to get out of the park. But we had a very fun day before that. And there are a LOT of pictures to prove it.

To infinity, and beyond!
This is what happens when you keep your kids at a theme park all day. This was in the line for Pirates of the Carribbean. Unfortunately Will woke up in the middle of the ride and was so scared he cried the rest of the ride.
These last few pictures are during the Spectro Magic Parade.

Day 2 we went to Magic Kingdom again.

Here's Kirstine inside Piglet's house.


Dumbo
We ran into Mary Poppins and Bert. Of course Will didn't know who they were, but I definitely did. Mary Poppins was my FAVORITE movie growing up. It's funny how as an adult you KNOW these characters aren't real, yet it's still a little emotional when you kind of sort of get to meet your childhood idol in real life.

This is for Mickey's Philharmagic (i think was the name). Will's absolute favorite attraction. It was (obviously) a 3-D movie based on Fantasia. Donald takes the magic hat and travels through all the Disney movies. Will giggled and reached out when stuff started flying out into the audience. I can't watch 3-D movies anymore since I am now blind. The 3-D effects don't work when I wear my glasses and the 3-D glasses, and if I take mine off everything's just blurry. So it was very fun during this one just watching Will and his reactions.

We left the park pretty early on Monday. We went back to the hotel and ate and went swimming. Then we left the kids with Gran to put to bed and Scott and I went back to the park. This was super fun because we actually got to watch the fireworks (and I do think their show is one of the best I've ever seen) and ride some rides. I think all we did was Stich (so dumb), Space Mountain (we saw Zack and Cody from Disney TV show Suite Life of Zack and Cody. Funny thing is Scott is the one who saw them. He couldn't remember their names at first, and all he could blurt out was "tv show, twins" and then I looked up right as they passed us and all I saw was the back of their hair, and I knew who it was. It then became our mission to try and find them again, but we didn't.), Thunder Mountain a few times, and Splash Mountain. Then we saw the fireworks, ate really good cheese fries (they have awesome condiment bars all over the Disney parks, and this place had cheese sauce to put on your fries, it was SOOOO good), did some shopping, and went home. Very fun date.

Day 3 we went to Animal Kingdom. We had fun, but I definitely like Busch Gardens better.


Here are my boys bird watching.

Disney Vacation part 1

Here is day 4 of our Disney vacation: staying at the resort to play putt putt.

And here are other resort pictures while we were there:

Boat Day

Last Saturday we went out on the boat. Will had a blast yelling "Wee!" and "Bounce, Bounce" at every wave. We anchored the boat on the shore of Anclote Key. Wonderful little island where no one else goes. We pretty much had the entire beach to ourselves, as you'll see. There's also a cool little inlet right behind you that is very calm. Last time we went we saw a ton of crabs there, so we tried to find some more this time, but no luck. We did see about 5 hermet crabs, though.

Are you THIS mad at me?

Will went Uga in his pants the other morning. He asked if I was really mad at him, and I told him no, only a little mad that he went in his pants and didn't tell me he had to go. So then he said, "Are you this mad at me?" I repeated my answer. Then he asked me again, "Are you this mad at me?" I was like, what the heck does "this" mad mean? Then I realized what he was doing with his face...
Apparently that is the face I make when I am really mad!

WILL

This is what Will learned how to do a few days ago...

(he wrote his name all by himself!)
