Disney or bust!

Ok, I know it has taken forever for me to post. I got a Flip Video Camera that I wanted to learn how to download so you could see some of our trip. It turned out it takes no technical knowledge at all, just a chunk of time to sit and do it.
So, our friends the Allman's (who the babies have affectionately named "Cereal" and "Cake", otherwise known as Cheryl and Kate) were planning a trip to Disney and asked us if we were game. It wasn't top on my list because we had just done a week trip over Halloween with my whole family and I was Disney'd out for a while. But school was out and it was only a couple of days, so we decided to go for it. We drove for the first time and the kids were so great! We all had so much fun. They have been loving Mickey Mouse Clubhouse and recognized all the characters. It was so fun to see the sparkle in their eyes when they saw Mickey Mouse. They were so excited to see everyone, but wanted that safe distance from the giant creatures.
The babies stood in line, waited turns and really were so sweet the whole time. I felt like they did better than the bigger kids. The teacups were the highlight for them, but they rode everything they were big enough to ride (which surprisingly is quite a lot). Kelsee had many favorites, everything that is big and fast (a girl after my own heart)
We only went to the park for 2 days, but we got there when it opened and left when it closed with a bunch of tired monkeys. We ate at Goofy's kitchen which I think was the highlight for the boys who insisted on getting their picture taken with Jasmine, watched the parade, ate plenty of snacks, rode everything we wanted, and walked about 20 miles. Thanks guys we had a blast.

The babies loved the characters from a distance, but
wanted nothing to do with them up close.


Kelsee on the other hand has no
problem getting up close and personal


They finally figured if they didn't look at
them, maybe they would go away



This is my favorite picture of the whole trip! This is the
family we sat next to during the pixar parade (which the
kids loved) I laughed so hard at this guy asleep in his
baby's stroller holding his giant pickle he had been gnawing
on. Cheryl couldn't believe I actually took a picture of this.
Of course I had to make it look like I was taking pictures of the
kids so his wife didn't think I was some crazy, Maybe I am!


The teacups were the favorite of both Aidan and Olivia.
They cold not get enough. They asked to go again as
soon as the ride stopped. I put a video of their first ride
at the bottom of this.


Very typical to have one crashed and the
other one going strong


Judd was not happy at all. The boys took the bigger kids
and him on the Matterhorn as soon as we walked in the park.
I think it took him most of the day to get over to scary
monster with the red glowing eyes.
