Disney World

We arrived in Orlando Sunday and spent the afternoon at Typhoon Lagoon.  Then spent Monday at Disney’s Animal Kingdom.

Piper and me riding on the flying dinosaurs while others went on a spinning ride you had to be over 48” to ride. Austin chose to ride neither since he gets motion sickness.

Pausing for frozen treats with “Mt. Everest” in the back ground.  Austin only had 2 frozen treats this day, he is cutting back, even on vacation.

It takes a lot longer to get a frozen treat when he decides to and then 4 children are behind him also wanting a treat.

Holding Piper’s hand on Mt. Everest.  She did great on this ride, but chickened out on the Tower of Terror the next day so Tay, Allison, Austin and I had to ride it along (See below).  But she’ll only 5 so that’s pretty good.

Our Second day was spent at Hollywood Studios riding Tower of Terror which is probably our favorite ride in all the Disney parks and a few others before heading back to Savannah early afternoon.

These next ones are at the memorial service and dinner after with our family. 

Jered after I told him to smile, this was attempt #5 at getting a good picture of him.  His smile is cute, he doesn’t get the eyes thing yet.

Disney World

We were gone for the past week on a couple trips.  I will post more about those later today.  First here is a group picture of us at Disney World’s Animal Kingdom.  You may laugh and make fun, however this was the most functional outfit.  In a crowd of 1600 people coming out of the Lion King musical we could easily spot the 3 from our group in the middle of the crowd.  Amazing.
