DISNEYWORLD

SO, this is a little late coming, however life has been a little busy crazy. So growing up over the years my dad has taken my family to disneyworld and disneyland SEVERAL times. Even when we lived in Canada we would make the trip down. Needless to say everyone in my family really likes disney everything. SO, this year over thanksgiving break my dad took all 30 people in my immediate family to Disneyworld, all expenses paid for a week! IT was the best vacation of my life(next to my honeymoon of course). Anyways, we all flew in from all over on thanksgiving day and met in Orlando (Stew was even able to come, he flew in straight from an interview in Indiana)




DAY 1 : EPCOT It was a relaxing first day since we new the next day would be non stop. We took the kids on a few rides and to see the countries represented


DAY 2: MAGIC KINGDOM we were there from Open to CLOSE! (9AM-MIDNIGHT)the boys took turns sleeping in the back of my double stroller. TYLER'S Favorite rides were Splash Mountain and Thunder Mountain!He went on each one at least 10 times. It was funny b/c several bigger kids were afraid of those rides, and eventhough he was barely tall enough Tyler LOVED them. He is Brave little 3 year old. Conner pretty much loved everything we did.















DAY 3: Sunday we went to church and then my mom fixed a big thanksgiving dinner since we were traveling on thanksgiving day. Then we celebrated Stew's Birthday with Ice Cream cake! Later that evening, my parents presented each grandkid with a disney giftcard so they could buy a souvenier, candy, ice cream, ect.. (This trip was also everyopne's christmas present) Then they gave each couple a giftcard so we could also get some fun things. THANK YOU GRANDMA & GRANDPA!! Our kids LOVED being able to pick out their ouw souveniers.











DAY 4: We went to Disney's Animal Kingdom
They have a new roller coaster called EVEREST and it is AMAZING! I have been on several roller coasters all over the US and this is easily one of the best ones I have ever been on. Tyler wanted to go on it, even after he saw people screaming as they drop down the mountain. However he wasn't tall enough yet. The other amazing ride is their animal safari where you get to be up close and personal with the animals. Here is a picture of the giraffes we saw(no zoom necessary).


















DAY 5: Everyone went their own way. We headed back to EPCOT. We really only got in half a day the first time, so we came back. My dad and my sister tara and her family came with us. It was not very busy at all and we got to do everything! One of my favorite rides since I was kid is with a Dragon named FIGMENT. The boys also enjoyed it.












Every Kid needs a picture with Mickey Mouse

The kids liked meeting the different characters, however Conner only liked them if I was holding him and he was not right next to them. It was kind of funny.



DAY 6: We all Headed back to MAGIC KINGDOM for one last LONG day. We again were there from Open to close with kids napping in strollers. It was so fun! Tyler kept wanting to go on Splash and thunder mountains!



This is my sister Jamie and her family with my parents
Below is a picture of my brother JR and his wife Kelly holding Conner. We took this b/c he wouldn't go to anyone else the entire trip(including Stew) then he decided he liked Kelly.





We were trying to get a picture of the grandkids (11 out of the 13 are in it)
We did a good job wearing them out every day. They slept great at night!!IT WAS A GREAT TRIP!!!!!!!! (to see more great photos visit my sister-in-laws blog richandkellyevanson@blogspot.com)
