Disney

So I had some intentions of doing the blog WHILE on vacation but almost immediately I realized that would be tough.  Not that I can't do tough things...but I decided to take a pass on the blog.

Now I am back at it.

1. Trip to Disney
Yesterday we got back from an eight day trip to Disney.  It was long, wonderful, exhausting and fabulous.  We stayed with Rick and Connie at the Wilderness lodge and Brian and Lauren were also there at the beginning of the week.  We were so spoiled and enjoyed almost every minute.  You know....some minutes of meltdowns are hard to enjoy.

2. We didn't lose any children
Disney was a mad house. I am so grateful that no one was lost for any extended period of time.  We were able to stick together and not cause any major heart attacks.

3. My fanny pack
Though my bright pink fanny pack was not a great fashion statement OR great for pictures....it was still pretty fabulous for holding my phone and our trading pins.  I am becoming obsessed with the fanny pack.

4. Trading Pins
One of my favorite things at Disney was trading pins.  The boys would walk into a gift shop and not worry about gifts and toys...they would just ask to trade free pins.  We were all obsessed with finding the ones we liked.

5. Jack was just the right height
Jack was probably 4.25 inches and just barely made it on most of the rides.  This made the trip SO. MUCH. BETTER. After every ride we would have this converstation...

 "Did you like it?"
 "Yes."
"Do you want to go again?"
"No."

After Tower of Terror

6. Typhoon Lagoon
It had been raining off and on so the morning we went to the water park it was EMPTY.  We were able to ride every ride twice in the entire park within 2 hours.  The entire family had a blast.  Hands down this was my favorite part.

 7. Mickey's Not So Scary Trick or Treat
On Thursday night we had special tickets to this event.  Again the rides had absolutely no lines though the actual park seemed packed.  We were able to get on any ride we wanted plus watch amazing fireworks, the parade and gorge ourselves on candy.

 8. Back home
It is nice to sleep in our own beds, sleep in, and get settled for the week. I am so happy we have today (Sunday) to accomplish our chores and start getting into the grove.  It was a great trip.
