Disney! (Yeah, I know! Finally!)

We went to Orlando for the Southern Baptist Convention in June. Daddy had to attend meetings, but we took the opportunity to go see Mickey! Here are a few pictures from our trip!
First, here is a picture of the pillow cases that Granny made for the boys!



We spent 2 days at Magic Kingdom and 1 day at Animal Kingdom.
Our first stop, obviously, was Mickey's House! I cannot tell you how excited the boys were!
Since it was our first stop, we didn't have to wait too awful long...
Fortunately the boys didn't ask why they didn't talk! ;)

We also got to meet Winnie the Pooh and Tigger!

This is a shot from the mid-afternoon parade...let's just say those people don't get paid enough! It was unbearably hot!

Our very first ride was the teacups...I think the pics say it ALL!


We loved the carousel, though!

We went to the Monsters Inc. Comedy Club, and it was funny! Papa was "that guy!" He got picked on a lot...but he was a good sport about it, and even got a sticker out of it! You go, Papa!

Our ABSOLUTE FAVORITE ride! Buzz Lightyear! We fought Emperor Zurg, and totally kicked tushy! Buzz couldn't have done it without us! The boys are still talking about how they beat Zurg!


We went to visit Zurg in jail!

At night, waiting for the Nighttime Spectacular Parade...the castle changes colors every few minutes, and the boys made me take a picture each time!

I wish you could have heard the boys during this parade! Everything they saw, they were like "Oooo! Brother look at that one! Did you see that?!" etc. It was awesome to see Disney through their eyes!

They loved Elliot!

One evening we went to DownTown Disney, and walked through some shops. Here are a few pics from that night.


At the Lego store at DT Disney.

Woody made out of Legos!

A T-Rex made of Legos!

This is T-Rex, the restaurant we ate at that night (reservations were made a couple of months in advance!). They loved it!

Inside there are dinosaurs everywhere! And each dining area is a different theme (eras, I think).

We actually ate in the "ocean" area. That's a huge squid hanging from the ceiling...the tentacles actually move! And there was a big aquarium right next to our table, so the boys got to look at fish while they ate.

Day 3 was spent at Animal Kingdom! Daddy was able to go with us, too! And, no, he didn't skip any meetings...we stayed an extra day after the SBC was over.


The Lion King! Absolutely awesome! The best show there, in my opinion! These "monkeys" were all over the place, doing flips, etc...kinda like MY monkeys! ;)


Enjoying a Mickey Mouse ice cream! Yes, they ate the whole thing, even though it was almost the size of their heads!


Their Mickey Ears they picked out.


Every evening it was pretty easy to get them to go to sleep! They had a BLAST!

One thing is for sure: we will NOT go back in the summer, if at all possible! I think late fall or winter would be best!
