And just a little more Disney! (Or a lot) Warning!

My favorite thing in Animal Kingdom....A Bug's Life 3D experience!

N is all ready with his "honorary bug glasses"

N & MV with Nemo

Scott and the kiddos with Nemo

Grandma practicing for American Idol, she's kind of a fan! :)

Visiting Norway in Epcot

S and Mount Everest

This is Miss M and her bus buddy...Grandpa was a brave, brave man many rides on that bus. She was a bit of a nightmare when it came to the nightly bus rides home. Can't thank you enough, Grandpa!

The Gang of V's, minus Grandma, outside Animal Kingdom

Next to a big monkey on the Tree of Life

S and N, practcing the drums

N made a new friend! I love this picture!

Nice brother moment, sharing his ice cream treat with his little sister

The Electrical Parade

Love this! Same everything from when I was little.


 
One of N's most favorite times of the trip...running through these fountains

Uh oh Uncle M....did you have a little accident?

Wiped out kids! We ran them ragged. M is cuddling her baby Dumbo she got from Grandma.

Epcot

Us V's....with one sleeping.

Well folks, I am cutting myself off from the Disney pics. Thanks for sticking with us, if you did! On to the rest of our lives. I am getting so behind! What a great trip. I already can't wait to do it again!

Thanks to all you V's for going with us! It was fun to share our love of this place with you!

Love,

P, S, N, And Miss M

Disneyworld, Take 2!

M & M!

The moment he had been waiting for for months! N was just sure that Mickey would be so excited to see him!

Mickey and the fam

I laughed when I saw this picture, thinking I wasn't sure that N's little face could smile any bigger!

Then, I laughed again because this was the next picture I took and I think that cute little face actually was starting to hurt from all the smiling! :o)

Wearing Dad's ears

Another real high point of the trip for N....he got to meet Lightning AND Mator!

My sweet boy

Miss J

My sweet girl

Miss S and Aunitie A

Grandma had a big starstruck moment too! She was VERY excited to meet Minnie!

The Happiest Place on Earth....Take 1

So, I know that I am beyond behind. The longer that I wait, the more I put off updating the blog because the task ahead of me just gets bigger and bigger. My solution is that I am just going to break it up into smaller chunks. The last week of September, we, the V's, and many other V's(Grandma and Grandpa, Uncle M, Auntie A, Cousin's J & S, and Uncle D) all went to Disneyworld for a whole week. Disneyworld is without a doubt one of my most favorite places in the whole world. When I am there, I tend to forget about the rest of the world and it just feels magical. Cheesy I know, but i can't help it! I was probably more excited than when I was a kid because not only did I get to enjoy it myself, but i got to watch my kids enjoy it too. I think it's safe to say that N is now just as in love with it as his mom. :)

Here is update number one! We started at the Magic Kingdom, as everyone but us 4 V's were first timers and to me that is the "real Disneyworld".


Me and N on our first ride...

You guessed it! The Dumbo ride!

These two were scared to actually leave the ground, so we put them on the Dumbo ride for beginners!

N on Splash Mountain, one of my favorite rides. Zip-a-dee-doo-dah!

Me, N, and Grandma and Grandpa. Whee!!

JV and N doing the kids conga line at dinner at the Polynesian

Well, hello there! Nice ears!

So silly!

My most favorite treat in all of Disneyworld....the Dole Whip pinneapple float. Delicious!

Their mommy bought them all ears!

First family trip to Disney! Say cheese!

The kiddos

Waiting for the fireworks

Next update soon!

Love,

The V's
