Disney Trip

We had a lot to celebrate this year, Mike's graduation from residency and signing a contract being the biggest, so we did it all with one big trip to Disney World.  It was a 10 day trip and Mike's parents were able to meet us there to spend our vacation with us.

 Mike and the kids entertaining themselves while we waited for our flight to leave.  This was Jaycee's first time flying since she was a baby.  She did really well but we kept her occupied with a lot of drawing.  She loved sitting in the window seat. 

Inside the Orlando airport.  Chantz and Jaycee wanted their picture taken in front of the "really huge Christmas tree."  This was one of many we would see during our trip.

Chantz had been dying to go on Expedition Everest ever since we booked the trip.  We decided to make Animal Kingdom our first day of adventure so he didn't have to wait long to ride it. 

The Tree of Life

 One of the really cool animals they had in the parade.  They were really detailed and really amazing to watch.  I just used "really" 3 times in two sentences.  I really need to get another word.  :)

Our first glimpse of Mickey!

Jaycee in front of the globe at Epcot

Christmas time is a great time to go!  Everything was so festive!

My favorite picture of Cinderella's Castle

 Speaking of Cinderella!  One of our lunch reservations was at Askerhaus in Norway at Epcot.  It was a fun day for Jaycee.  She got her picture taken with Belle, Cinderella, Sleeping Beauty, Snow White, and Ariel.  She loved it!

 Our second character meal.  We even convinced Cameron to get in the picture.

 Chantz with his Kona Cone.  The stuff at the bottom is cotton candy.  He couldn't eat it all.

Mickey's pumpkin patch

 We finally got our picture taken with Mickey Mouse!

 Where we stayed

 Pops and Grandma "goofing" around.

 The boys

Splash Mountain.  It was a little chilly the days we were at Magic Kingdom, so we only rode it a couple of times.

We had such a great time.  Jaycee was so much braver than I expected her to be.  Her favorite ride was Big Thunder Mountain Railroad.  I think we went on it at least 10 times.  Cameron surprised us all and went on everything except for Hollywood Tower of Terror.  It was the only thing that scwared him.  Chantz, of course, wanted to go on everything scary as many times as he could. 

Hopefully next time more family can join us.  We had a blast!  And yes, we're already planning the next one! (not for a couple of years)
