Day 5-Hollywood Studios

This was about when we discovered that Isabel had been

collecting soaps and shampoos all week and sticking

them in her suitcase.

Isabel got pulled from the crowd to dance with

the High School musical show. She loved it!

Star Wars! This was before Hunter "got sick" in the

Muppet theater. Poor guy.

Car stunt show

American Idol experience...the guy who won our show went

on to win the finale

One of our favorite dinners was at the 50s Prime Time Cafe. Our

waitress, "Aunt Tracy" made Reed and I eat all our vegetables....the kids

loved that. We also saw many people get scolded for having elbows on

the table and having to sit in the corner.

Another great day! Other hightlights included Reed making us

all go on the Tower of Terror, Beauty and the Beast show, and

watching Fantasmic. All the shows were so good.

Disney-Day 4

Magic Kingdom

We spent most the day in Tomorrowland

Ethan's favorite!

 

Hunter with the Disney statue

Dream Along with Mickey Show

"Celebrate a Dream Come True"  Parade... I really loved the

shows and parades...got a little misty eyed! ha!

 

Dinner at the Hoop Dee Doo Musical Revue-great show

and the kids loved drinking out of canning jars.

Disney-Day 3 Epcot

Posing in front of the Big Ball

The snacks were a big hit with everyone...they loved picking

whatever they wanted!

Izzy's favorite treat

By the time Ethan was done it was all over his face

Meeting all the princesses at the Princess Dinner was a highlight!

Belle

Sleeping Beauty

Cinderella

Snow White

Ariel

We had a great day at Epcot!

Animal Kingdom-Day 2

This is how Ethan looked the entire trip....

he loved the maps and always

had to have one on hand.

Meeting Pocahontas and getting her autograph

My favorite....The Lion King Show. It was incredible!

Hunter and Ethan got chosen from the crowd

to dance in the show. So fun!

Tree of Life...it was pouring rain when we took this:(

Meeting Mickey and Minnie

Watching the Parade

Donald Duck

Another highlight was the safari...we got

to go on it twice and saw lots of animals up close. Kids

did not like the Dinosaur ride and after that did

not want to go on Everest Expedition...I regret not

making them go. Maybe next time...

We ended the day at the Polynesian Resort for dinner. We

ate at Ohana which was all you can eat steak,

shrimp, etc...so good! We were so full!

During the dinner, the kids got to learn the hula.

Happy Valentine's Day!

Spending the day relaxing and eating some of these...yum!

Disney-Our First Day

We woke up very early in the morning to get to the airport. The kids were very excited to fly on an airplane for the first time.

Arriving at our resort ... I was tired but the kids

were ready to go so it was off to the Magic Kingdom!

Meeting Woody and Jesse

We rode Thunder Mountain Railroad coaster multiple times...

it was a favorite, especially for Ethan

Cinderella's Castle changing colors at night

Fireworks...we ended up being in a spot where

it felt like they were right over our heads.

End of our first day, ready to head back and get some sleep!

Back to Reality....

We went from this,

back to this....

(....sigh)

Hunter "too hot" to wear his hat over his ears...never mind

they are bright red ;)

Ethan as a Very Cute Snowman

Ever see those cute children in catalogs playing in the snow in their perfectly matched coats, hats, boots, etc...? Well, not Izzy, she prefers her Dad's hat and her brother's old mittens. But hey, this is reality and life in the country...

I admit I would love her to match even playing outside...

but I will let it go.
