Disney World

We were on a fantastic vacation all last week in Disney World. It was so much fun! We were finally able to convince the older kids (well, I did use a little bit of bribing, and Dawson became $1 richer), to ride the roller coasters, and to their surprise, and my "I told you so's!" they loved them! Dawson's favorite was Expedition Everest, and Adelyne's was Space Mountain. They also loved Aerosmith's Rockin' Roller Coaster (Mine & Paul's favorite from the last time we went). My favorite ride this time around was Soarin! WOW! What a fun experience feeling like you are on a hang glider, flying through the air over breathtaking sights in California.
Julia and Cole were little troopers, and had fun too. Julia's little legs didn't want to walk much, thank heavens we had a stroller!

Julia's first "real' time on an airplane, she was only 3 months old the last time. She was so excited at first...but that quickly changed.

And turned into this, resulting in us having to close the window to get her to calm down, because she kept screaming that it's too high, and she wants to get off!

We also were able to drive a couple of hours towards Tampa, in New Port Richey to see my mother and sister & her family, who live by each other. The kids loved that, and were sad when we left that they weren't able to see Grandma again. Hopefully soon we will! Grandma made the girls some beautiful dresses, and Adelyne is so impressed that she actually made them, and didn't buy them!

Our first picture taken in the park, at Animal Kingdom...Innocence is Bliss came into factor with this one. We were chastised afterwards because apparently there was a line to get your picture taken with these two characters. Who would have known? Oh well, one line we didn't have to wait in.

Waiting for, It's Tough To Be A Bug, we were ready to torture the kids with spitting bugs, cock roaches crawling under their butts, and gigantic black widows falling down into their faces.

Adelyne eating a Mickey Mouse waffle, or shall we say, fighting with it?

Cole flirting with Ariel

The Sword in the Stone

There were little Mickey Mouse confetti everywhere, and Julia insisted on picking them all up, it was serious business.

Daddy's girl

At Minnie's house. Julia insisted on watching Minnie cook her dinner, since she had popcorn popping in her kitchen, she must cook!

Our last day at the park, leaving to go to the airport
