Disney World

Grandma and Grandpa gave us all an incredible Christmas present this year. They bought us each a ticket to Disney World. I don't care how old you are, Disney makes everyone a kid at heart.

We arrived early and had to wait to get into the park. So of course it was the perfect time to take lots of pictures.
Space Mountain was the favorite ride of the day. But all the rides were a hit.

Here is the group after a big wave hit them on Splash Mountain. Joel and Daniel are in the front row, followed by Grandpa and Matt; Isaac and Nicko; Megan, Aunt Janna and Alyssa are bringing up the rear. Smart girls as they probably came out the driest. Uncle Gary, Grandma and I stayed on dry ground. Someone had to take pictures!

Here are our tough, masculine men in tea cups!


With all the rides, counting heads, and figuring out what to do next and how to get there, we had to take a few breaks.



Here is Nicko on the Dumbo ride. All the kids waited in a LONG line for this ride. Lucklily Disney World was planning ahead for us and had a nice little cafe right next to the ride so Mom and Dad could sit down and take a break while still keeping an eye on the kids. This was one of the last rides of the day and the light was definitely fading.



Here is a bit of Disney World wisdom that I thought was pretty cool from the Alice in Wunderland display.





Finally, a bit of whimsy. Isaac was amazed with these green sculptures. He has asked several times if we can buy a boxwood bush this summer so he can try something like this.
