Animal Kingdom

Everyone really had a good time at Animal Kingdom. Both kids were pointing and talking about all the animals on the safari and the petting zoo. The weather was actually warm, so that was really nice. No complaints about this day!

Bus ride there

I spy some animals

Looking so pleased?

Looking for some more animals

Its called Conservation Station, although my oh so mature brothers prefer to call it Constipation Station - on the train on the way over (about a 5 min ride), of course Alex loved it

So we have this 'game' to get a sticker on someone with out them noticing. I'm happy to say no one got me, but Mimi got Stephen and he didn't notice ALL day

Loved the petting zoo

Not pleased we had to leave the petting zoo

Amelia is obsessed with stuff animals!

Safari - I will spare you the 50+ pictures of animals

Pooped after a long day

Ice Cream - Golf - Pool - MGM

So, yet again the pictures are backwards chronologically speaking, but you'll get the drift.

MGM - Myself, Uncle Bill, Mimi and the kids went while Pop played golf. Overall it was a good day, the kids enjoyed the Playhouse Disney Show, Muppets 3D and Alex especially the Honey I Shrunk the Kids playground - who would have guessed it?? For whatever reason though, that day the kids - more Alex - weren't in the greatest mood, but we still managed to have a good time.

Outside Muppets - A giant leaf

Outside Tower of Terror

We came all this way for Alex to play with a fire hydrant

Raglan's Irish Pub - the food was excellent!

Bill's tour of beer

Pool Fun

Alex picked any debris he could find and put it on Uncle Bill's back

For me? Oh thanks.

The Villa we had overlooked a golf course. Pop played on it twice. On this particular morning we were there to watch while we were waiting for Uncle Bill to arrive from VT. The kids were able to recognize him from afar and thought it was really cool that he was down there. The starred the whole time.

The Tee-off - nice shot!

Hi Pop

One night we went to Downtown Disney to walk around and shop. For whatever reason, it was packed! So we decided to stop for ice cream at Ghiradelli - yummy! Usually I can get away with sharing a scoop or two with both kids, however this night was not the case. Alex insisted he sit on my lap and feed himself - he ate the whole bowl by himself! And much to his sister's chagrin... so she started getting angry and Mimi was kind enough to share, thank goodness. When it got down to the cone, Amelia HAD to have her own...

More now!

She was a mess

Magic Kingdom Day 1

We went to Magic Kingdom two times this trip to Disney. First time was just me, the kids and the grandparents. We had a great time, although you can't tell from the pictures it was freezing! The weather forecast was for 80 and for most of the morning it didn't get above 60 until the sun finally came out after lunch. This time around Amelia was terrified of the rides and spent most of them (pooh's honey pot, snow white, peter pan and even a little of small world) with her head pressed into my chest. Alex really seemed to enjoy them though. Overall, Alex's favorite part was the train around the part, he spent the whole time saying 'a choo choo, mommy, a choo choo.'

Choo Choo Time

Best group pics we could get

The 2nd favorite part of the day was playing in Pooh's Playground - it was almost totally empty, it was nice for them to run around and warm up

Ok, so Alex was handed these stickers shortly after we entered the park from one of the cast members and NEVER let go of them
