Photopass pictures

Here are a few of our Photopass
pictures...









Aaron was getting his Jedi certificate-
he told the man he had a star
wars birthday party

Day 3 & 4- Magic Kingdom and Epcot

We spent our last 2 days at the Magic
Kingdom and Epcot. For some reason
we have NO pictures of Epcot probably
because the crowds were a little
overwhelming.

Aaron's favorite at MK was Big
Thunder Mountain and Goofy's
Barnstormer rollercoaster

Avery's favorite was It's a Small World


Waiting to ride the new Ariel ride


Avery liked the sea shells




Avery danced alot during It's a Small World and
then she wanted to sit in her brother's lap


About to ride Big Thunder Mountain
for the first time!







The only epcot picture-- Gram and Paw Paw had
Avery so we went to dinner in Japan...Aaron liked
the chopsticks but wouldnt taste the food

Day 2: Animal Kingdom

Our second day we went to Animal
Kingdom. We are not really big
fans of this park but we were
surprised at how alert the animals
were on this day.

Aaron's favorite was playing on the
dinosaur playground

Avery's favorite was watching
the Lion King show

My worn out kids!

My worn out kids slept
in the same bed all week
and did really good. Avery
definitly surprised us with
how well she did sleeping in
the bed with her big brother!

Jedi Training Academy

Besides riding the big rides this
year ... this was Aaron's other
favorite park experience!

I have some video of this too that I will be
uploading when Blogger will let me

Disney Park Day 1

We knew that since it was New Years
Day that most of the crowds would be
at Magic Kingdom and Epcot so we
decided to do Hollywood Studios
on our first day in the parks.

Aaron's favorite thing was participating
in the Jedi Training Academy

Avery's favorite was watching the
Beauty and the Beast show-- she
watched the entire show from Paw Paw's
lap!

Avery wasnt impressed with the characters-- she
laughed and pointed but didnt want to be close to
them

We made it!

We finally made it to Disney! Since our park
tickets didnt start until New Years Day we went to
Downtown disney when we arrived at our resort. 
There were alot of people so we didnt stay to long-
just came back and had a nice relaxing evening at
the Port Orleans Riverside resort.

Side Note: Andrew booked us unknowingly in a
"Royal Room"...these rooms are more themed then
the standard Riverside rooms.  This one happened
to be princess themed. It was really cute and even
had golden jeanie lamps for the facets in the bathroom.

downtown Disney




At the lego store


Riding the riverboat


The resort had a firepit and you could roast
marshmellows each night... no gram crackers or
chocolate but they did provide the mellows and the
sticks


The resort also had a great playground for the kids
and lots of pools-- it still amazes me that people
will go swimming when its 55 degrees outside!

Gram and Aaron's map

Gram printed out a map for Aaron
to track our progress on the road
so Aaron wouldn't keep asking
"are we there yet?"... and his map
worked! I never heard him ask!

Disney HERE WE COME!

On this SURPISE trip to Disney
we gave Aaron our old camera to
use. He was so excited to
have his very own camera so alot
of the pictures on our trip were
actually taken by him. I will post
under the pictures which ones are
his photos. Here are a few pictures
he took on our travel day to disney.
The kids did excellent in the car!

We had an after Christmas gift
opening with all the family except
Uncle Christopher and Aunt Leah.
