Disney Part 2

I'm not quite sure where I left off with my last post.  But really it's of no consequence.  Each of our days at Disney was honestly filled with fun.  We discovered that Cooper was our dare devil.  He wanted to ride the big rides and the roller coasters.  He had no fear.

 Cooper and I rode Goofy's Roller Coaster at least three times.  He loved it.  This is a picture of our very first time. 

 And after McKenna braved Splash Mountain so did Cooper.  Suffice to say he loved it.  They even talked me into riding it.
 I love this picture.  It probably would have been better if we didn't have our shades on...but it still proves had a relaxing vacation.
 One of our favorite things this year was bike riding.  We were able to rent bikes and ride from our resort over to Fort Wilderness Campground.  It was such a pleasant and relaxing ride through the forest.   It was hard to believe we were in Florida. 

 Waiting for the light parade.   Kinley loved the parades - especially the light parade.
If you look closely, you can see Earl and McKenna in the last row.  This was her first time down Splash Mountain.

Cooper was excited that he got wet on his first trip down Splash Mountain.

 I had to include this one of Kinley.  She was so sweet.  She loved hanging out by the pool watching McKenna and Cooper swim.  Sometimes we joined them in the pool and sometimes she napped under the shade of the umberella.  Such a tough life!
 A trip to Disney is not complete unless you get your picture taken with Mickey and Minnie.  We lucked out and only had to wait 5 minutes!! to see them.
 I included this picture just because it's so special to me.  I love you guys!
 Character breakfast at the Cape May Cafe.  This is one of our favorite places to have breakfast.  The food is great and the the characters greeting you at your table is pretty special too.
 On our way to take our little Tinker Belle to see the real Tink we literally stumbled upon Peter Pan.  He suggested that Kinley was a pretty good Tink - she was pint sized and didn't smile much!    Peter Pan also referred to this as the "awkward family photo of the day".  It's wrong for so many reasons that I'm not even going to get into.
 Waiting to meet Tink!
 This one is for you, Joshua!  We promised you a picture of Captain Hook!  He can't wait to meet you in person some day.
The very last thing that we did on this trip was watch the afternoon parade at Magic Kingdom.   Honestly, I can't think of a better way to wrap up a trip.  We had a truely magical time.  So many great memories made and just time reconnecting as a family.    Earl and I had anticipated a grueling, tiring trip since this was the first year we were out numbered by kids.  But we were pleasantly surprised at how smooth our trip went.   

McKenna, Cooper and Kinley, I know you might not remember much from our 2012 trip to Disney World (especially you Kinley).  But I want you to know how much fun Daddy and I had with you.  We love experiencing places like Disney World through your eyes.   We are so thankful that we had this trip to spend time with you, reconnecting, laughing, and just hanging out and making memories.
