Disney World

We spent a week in Florida with Sean's Parents! We had such a great time with them. We stayed in their time share resort, visited the four parks in Disney World, and spent a day at the beach. It was really great to spend some one on one time with Mark and Nancy since we don't get to see them very much. We sure love them and appreciate them! Here are some of the highlights of the trip:

Magic Kingdom


This was probably Katelyn's favorite place because of all the Disney Princesses. She knows all their names and every word to the songs that they sing. She was so animated and excited about it! It was so cute to watch her. She was all dressed up as Cinderella! Brayden had some McQueen sun glasses that I think he wore most of the day which he loved!








The "Secret Service" came and found Katelyn for a private meeting with Cinderella. She was kind of shy, but it was really cute!







Daddy was sweet to stand in line for an hour to meet Ariel



She went to Story time with Bell



She met a little girl from Germany and became quick friends, we kept running into them at the other parks all week!




Brayden was excited about riding on a train to go see Mickey and Minney's houses.





Sunday
We went to breakfast and then to the Orlando temple before going to church...







We went back to the resort and had some fun paddling boats and miniature golfing.






My kids ended up playing in the dirt. They are from Missouri though what can I say!





Animal Kingdom
This was probably my favorite place!





We saw the Lion King Show first and that was really neat! Here we are waiting for it to start...





The parades were always a lot of fun!







The "Tree of Life" was really neat and down inside we watched "A bug's life."





Inside this mountain was one of my favorite rides!



Stopping for lunch and getting out of the rain for a little while...




Katelyn was excited to meet Pocahontas and some other characters while Brayden went with Grandma and Grandpa for a jungle tours






The Safari ride was another favorite to see all the big animals up close in the Jeep...






The Rain Forest Cafe for dinner... Mmmm...




Epcott Center
We had a great time here. They added a new Nemo attraction that was really neat!

















We visited the "countries around the world" and Katelyn enjoyed making a mask for the "Marti Gra!"




I'm such a flower person, I just had to get a picture of the beautiful flowers!




Cocoa Beach
On our way to Cocoa beach we stopped at an alligator farm for some fun...









We watch a "Critter Show" and yes, I was chosen as a volunteer. I'm not too weirded out with snakes, but if it had been a spider, I definitely wouldn't have done it!


Here we are having some beach fun in the sun!











Hollywood Studios
I think our favorite part of Hollywood was the car stunt show, beauty and the beast play, and then Fantasmic that night. Brayden was very excited to meet McQueen and Mater too.













Thank you Grandma and Grandpa for a fun week! Sure do love ya!
