Florida

Anyone who knows my dad knows that his favorite places in the world are Disneyland and DisneyWorld. We usually go to one or the other about every other year.
This year, we went to

DisneyWorld
The Happiest Place on Earth
(or a least that is what Grandpa Tom says)
and we agree!!!


We arrived in Florida on Sunday afternoon. We eat a quick dinner at our hotel cafe and then headed over to Magic Kingdom for the night. It was such a hot and humid night!

DAY 2
Animal Kingdom

This is probably my least favorite park.


DAY 3
Hollywood Studios


This is our favorite park!
My boys favorite ride: TOWER OF TERROR
I think they went on it 12 times that day!
We even got my mom to ride it once:) She hated it.

Tanner, Troy and Carter got to customize their own lightsabers.


We had a very YUMMY dinner at an old 50's style cafe.

DAY 4
Hollywood Studios


We had so much fun at this park that we wanted to go again!

My boys chillin' with the Monsters Inc. characters!

We went to "Lights, Camera, Action" stunt show.

We went back to our hotel to go swimming that night.
The kids had a blast swimming in the dark.


They had fun practicing their one man pyramids!


DAY 5

Magic Kingdom and Epcot


We went to a "Winnie the Pooh and Friends" character luncheon. We got to eat lunch with Winnie the Pooh, Tigger, Piglet, and Eeyore.


After lunch, we decided to go over to Epcot.
We went on Soarin' which just happens to be my mom's favorite ride. We had to wait for over a hour to get on. Tanner gave Troy his lap to lay on. Thanks Tan for being such a sweet big brother.


Blakley found her own way to relax!!

Day 6
Typhoon Lagoon

and
Disney's Marketplace


My mom, Blakley and I went to Disney's Marketplace for a day of shopping. While the boys went to Typhoon Lagoon (one of Disney's water park) and then met us later for lunch. After lunch, we headed back to our hotel for some more swimming!

All of the swimming they did wore Carter right out.
Luckily, Troy's lap makes a great pillow:)
