The colors from today

Lots of friendship bracelets are being made right now with plenty of choices of colors.




Lots of in and out of the pool, too, to stay cool.

Eating from our very own garden in our yard...yummy!

Next generation of paparazzi...yes, Michelle, a highly genetic trait!

5 teacher letters have come in the mail, announcing the 7 teachers our kids are blessed to have next year!
As difficult as it is getting back to "normal" after a great vacation, these little things are helping to make it easier.

A Pirates Life For Me!

What an awesome, totally Disney thing! We were able to get into the Magic Kingdom early this morning because the boys had the first appointments of the day at the Pirate League. How cool is that to walk down Main Street with hardly anyone and then to open Adventure Land! Upon arrival they were able to choose the look they wanted, then were given their official pirate name then headed back to get made up.

Lucas was the instigator of this adventure. He saw a promo video online and ever since has been patiently waiting to do this.




The whole time he kept asking Joey if his black eye hurt him and Joey said "no". He'd get mad and say it's supposed to hurt! He kept on him until Joey gave the right answer.
Tyler had the creepiest looking eyes going on. He had 8 by the time she was done and a huge bug across his nose.
 
Nana, nana, nana!





Introducing William Bridgekidd (Tyler), Isaiah Ropewalker (Lucas), Simon Whalebones (Joey)

The final product, complete with swords and sheaths!


And in case their was any confusion regarding a photo in my last post, Eric did participate on the Indian Jones stunt show, something he's dreamed about doing forever. :)  I just didn't have my zoom lens and had to wait to steal a few from my sister.  Thanks, Cindy!

He did a great dying a slow death from a gunshot, too!

The Happiest Place on Earth

We were so excited to be headed out! The kids hadn't flown in a couple years so they were excited about that, too.

Cousin time!

Lots of hand holding and head counting!

Lots of riding on rides

We got to open Adventure Land one morning. Awesome!!! And even better was our morning at the Pirate League (more on that, later)


Disney's Electrical Parade is a old time favorite.

Trying to keep everyone cool!

All of you who think I'm the paparazzi...I come by it honestly!

And anyone who may think my kids can be quite dramatic...they come by it honestly, too!


If you're ever in Disney World, the Hoop-de-doo Revue is a must see!

Poor Mia, had a slooooowww car.

Another must do is Breakfast with the Characters!

Lots of autographs aquired.


Candy heaven!


Stitch couldn't believe his eyes, was he really seeing 3?

Thanks, Grandpa and Grandma, for a great trip! We loved being together at the Happiest Place on Earth. Too bad all good things must come to an end.
