Well I guess it is time to finally update my blog with what we have been doing this year.
At the beginning of March we got to take the kids to Disney World. We went with another family of friends, which explains the extra child in the picture.
Our first day we went to the Magic Kingdom.
The kids loved the rides.
We then had dinner with the characters of Winnie the pooh.
The kids didn't so much like the characters.
(Going through these pictures I was very surprised with how many Jamie is in, the girls would cry.)
One girl not so sure about Piglet.
One boy getting hugs.
Sliding at the pool!!
The second day we had lunch with the characters from the Little Einsteins.
These characters really caused cries, but they were not familiar with them at all, but that didn't stop them from dancing with them!!!
While there we visited Hollywood Studios. The kids really likes some of the shows like Disney Junior, but got tired of the shows that were shorten disney movies - to many scary parts.
Jamie was even scared of these two characters, but was brave enough for the picture, Lizzie however did touch them.
Near our hotel was the Disney Boardwalk. We went there one evening and treated ourselves to a dinner at a restaurant of Cat Cora's (Iron Chef). Our friends who had been to DW many times were very impressed with the good food. They had always had meals with characters for the kids, or course.
These are the kids waiting for dinner, wearing their friends hats.
After the dinner we walked around the Boardwalk and watched some of the fun shows that were out there.
Even Chloe liked them!!
The next day we went to Animal Kingdom, and I finally got to meet Rafiki. I wanted to have dinner with him, but it was probably good that we didn't, he greatly scared my kids.
However, some of us did get eaten by a shark.
"People are friends not food."
We did find one character that the kids liked, no crazy costume.
Every night at out hotel they had a marshmallow roast. On our last night we finally were home earlier enough to attend. Lizzie and Brian loved it.
Even Chloe got to enjoy some.
We finished the trip with a lunch in Germany at Ockoberfest. Every hour they come out and do a program and the kids could go dance. Lizzie and her friend loved it and I enjoyed getting some German food.
The bushes at Epcot are amazing. This one for Snow White.
This was a great little scene from Tangled.
The Tower
The Village
The Train
We had a great time and today when I asked the kids what they remembered most it was the pool, but they sure liked some of the rides especially the Toy Story Ride.
Hopefully we can take them back again some day.
