Day 2 of crazy fun at Disneyworld! Here we are all ready for a fun day at The Animal Kingdom.
At the entrance there were some workers showing some cool animal stuff. Jack really liked the shedded skin of this big tarantula!
The Safari was the first ride and we got on with the entire family! We had fun watching a rhino run, cheetahs and lions snoozing, giraffes and african cattle things graze and even chased some poachers and helped save a plastic baby elephant! The kids and grown-ups loved this one.
There is Conner being an awesome cousin! Our kids had so much fun with their cousins and the older ones helped out soooo much. It's amazing how much they've changed in the last few years!
All these kids loved Mount Everest the bestest!!! They wanted to go back on it right away. You can see Mt. Everest behind these scary monsters!
We had some fun with the little kids in Dinosaur land while the big kids went on the Indiana Jones ride. They loved the one on one and fun flying dinosaur ride.

Sam is having so much fun, he forgot to smile!
This was the best show of the entire trip! The acrobat monkeys were so fun to watch bouncing and swinging! We got a call right before the show started that Ed had found Charlotte near the entrance of the show. We didn't even realize she was gone!!! Thanks Ed!


Sam liked the dinosaur bone yard the best of all. He climbed, slid and roared all over the place!

I love this shot on the way out of the park!

Casey turned 1 today and had a fun birthday dinner at Chevy's. I don't think there could have been a better 1st birthday than this day!

And Reagan's favorite moment of the day was definitely watching the WVU game in the quiet of the condo.

Day 1: Magic Kingdom



Here's my first blog in the new year! Will someone please tell me how to make the pictures and text do what I want!!! I guess you'll have to put up with an ugly blog for a while! We had such a great time at Disneyworld! There were 26 six of us Big Red Shirted Mounts and we took over the Magic Kingdom!

I don't know how we got the kids to hold still before they went on a single ride, but we snapped up this cute shot and I am glad we did. It was a super gorgeous day!
Sam and Charlotte both loved the Carossel. The boys didn't want to waste their time!

This is pretty much how the day went...lots of red shirts on kiddie rides, having a good time!


You can see all our names on the back of the shirts!
We took a little bread from the crowds and climbed the Tree house while Sammy slept. Love how cute Casey is!!! Such a happy boy! Our family trip to Walt Disney World was awesome! Before we left, G mama asked Charlotte if she was excited to go to Disney world and she said, "Yeah, Mommy is bringing cheese!!!" We were up early everyday and played as hard as we could! The cousins loved hanging together and Sam even got a 2 hour nap in the stroller everyday. Impressive! This is our first day and we went to the Magic Kingdom. We had fun on Thunder Mountain, Splash Mountain, Small World, and Peter Pan. We loved the 4D Mickey Mouse show complete with smells and water! On our long wait for the teacups, Charlotte decided she wanted to go to the mall and play on the soft toys. UGH! We hit some Pirates of the Caribbean and then some late night Space Mountain. Jack hated the ride and said on the way out, "I want to be out of here instantly!" The kids got a bunch of Christmas money from all their Grandparents and got to pick out fun toys. The big boys picked riffles and handguns and Charlotte and Sam got some Light up Mickey toys. It was fun to see the Castle light up with all the Christmas lights. We had a fun and exhausting first day!
