Disney World Part II (Super Long Post)

One night we went to Downtown Disney which is a place that has tons of eating and shopping. They had this cool new stage that the kids loved. There was a lady up there teaching all the kids dances and Luke and Kate were in Heaven. Kate was just galloping around.

Luke looking for dancing ideas from the older girls

I couldn't get a great picture of Kate dancing because she was nonstop!

They wanted a picture with Tigger and Pooh. I am probably the worst mom ever but we never got pictures with Mickey and Minnie. The lines were too long and it just never worked out. O-well.

My mom stayed with the kids while me and Sam and Lucy and my dad went to Magic Kingdom for a few hours to ride some of the rides that the kids couldn't ride. My mom is the greatest Granna ever!

This is a picture of my Dad and Sam. Notice that they are in a crowd of red shirts. This just happened to be Gay Pride day at Magic Kingdom. Very Interesting!

About to ride Splash Mountain. We were not about to get soaked. Nobody else was wearing Panchos but we were being smart.

We went home and ate lunch and then grabbed the kiddos to go back for more fun. Magic Kingdom was so much fun with the kids. They really loved all the rides. Notice my bag in all these pictures. A special thanks to my friend Robyn for letting me borrow her Baggalini. It was awesome!!

Riding the Teacups. Luke and Granna were riding Dumbo while we rode these.

I LOVE this picture. Sam and Lucy and my Dad were in a Teacup and my dad was spinning it so fast that Sam and Lucy were about sick. I was cracking up the whole time.

Lucy and Luke riding the Astro Orbiter. Luke looks a little worn out. It was already 9:30 at night.

My mom and I were crying we were laughing so hard. Pretty sure that ride was not made for 2 adult riders. The ride was about to start and we still could not fit in there. The whole ride my knees were totally smashed against the ride. We were delirious I think.

The Safari Ride at Animal Kingdom

The Toy Story ride at Hollywood Studios. Lots of fun!

My dad and his crazy hair after riding the Aerosmith rollercoaster. It was very fast. I was proud of him for riding it.

Didn't take many pictures at all of the waterpark. The last day we went to Blizzard Beach. This was one of my favorite days. The kids loved being in the water and me John Sam and Lucy got to ride a waterslide that clocked us at 60 miles per hour going down. That was thrilling and painful at the same time!

Our last night, mom and dad kept the kids and we went to Universal City Walk which is like Downtown Disney but for Universal. We ate at a Piano Bar and just had a great time. We love hanging out with Sam and Lucy.

Being Dumb

The next morning the guys got up and played golf at a super nice course. Our flight back home was an adventure. Our flight from Orlando to Dallas was supposed to be 2.5 hours and ended up being 6.5 hrs. There were horrible storms in Dallas so after lots of circling over DFW we had to fly to San Antonio to fuel up and then Circle over DFW some more. We finally landed at 11:15 pm. Luckily our connecting flight which was supposed to leave at 8:15 was still delayed. We got on the plane to come home to Abilene at 12:30 and got home by 1:45 in the morning. It was a long ride home but the kids were exceptional on the plane. They only slept for 1 hr of that whole trip. The last time we flew with the kids, it took us 24 hrs to get home so this was a little better. Hopefully next time we will have smooth flying. All in all it was a great trip with some fun memories made. Too bad the kids won't remember it. Guess we will have to take them when they are older!
