disney world

We could not have asked for a more perfect fall break--we flew to disney and enjoyed 80 degree, sunny weather with a breeze everyday. The kids had a blast. . .

Cole experienced "the magic". . . out of all 3 boys, he was the most in awe of his surroundings--Luke remembered most things from the last time we were there, Grant remembered some and Cole didn't remember any of it--this was a great thrill for him!There is a new roller coaster at Animal Kingdom called Expedition Everest (it is in the mountain in the background of the photo)--you get to see the Yeti in it--and the kids couldn't wait to ride it. We all got to ride every coaster(minus Rockin' Roller Coaster for cole, he was too short) in the 4 parks, Cole LOVED space mtn. and rode in the front 5 times!! We have decided that the youngest 2 boys love roller coasters and luke could take them or leave them.


Our favorite day of the trip was the day we got to spend with dear friends--the Michel family moved to KY 2 years ago, so our visits are few and far between. We so enjoyed doing the Magic Kingdom with them. . .it was also a great break for our kids to be with friends (it's amazing that we didn't hear much arguing this day!) Don't you love the crazy hats? Thanks Michels for joining us, we loved it!


One of the things the kids were most looking forward to was making their own light sabers (I have been known to say that we could get rid of every toy in our house except light sabers and my children would still be happy!)! Of course we headed to Downtown Disney the very first night we were there so they could make them, I loved watching them, they were so excited! (and a great big thanks to grandpa & grandma for the souvenir money!)
We did get to enjoy some pool time, too at our resort. The boy's favorite part was the waterside and the pool games led by the lifeguards!
