Epcot

We let the boys run while the dads rode Test Track and Mission Space!

Late lunch at the Coral Reef Restaurant

Gavin's favorite exhibit at Epcot

Waiting in line for Nemo

Seeing the manatees

The REAL Nemo!

He could have watched the aquariums all day

Bruce!

Not sure Gavin was aware he was sitting on a shark... :) I don't think he would have been so happy!

...and then came the rain

But we cheerfully made it work!

$40 worth of ponchos later :(

Next we did the World Showcase: 11 countries set up around a huge body of water. We walked them all then stopped in Norway to watch the fireworks.

Jason and I in Morocco

The kids were so tired of the rain/ponchos!

Italy

Drumming with Gavin! He just loved getting out of his stroller!

Norway :)

The beginning of the fireworks show... I have no pictures of the actual fireworks because they scared Gavin and I spent the remainder of the show consoling him!!!

Magic Kingdom

Riding the ferry to Magic Kingdom

Crystal Palace, where we had our Character Breakfast

Character Breakfast was NOT a favorite activity of Gavin's! He loved them all from afar, but not at our table...

Attempt at a photo with Pooh!

Next was the Buzz Lightyear ride. Gavin was a bit unsure during the first ride, but he warmed up after that!

Jason/Gavin & Erik/Nico waiting in line for the Motor Speedway ride (Gavin's favorite of the day!)

Vroom, vroom!

Loving getting to drive

Toon Town

Gavin loved the softplay area!

Jason and I did too since we got to sit!

Riding "Its a Small World"

Next Gavin took a nap, so I sat with the kids while Jason, Erik, and Dani rode on a roller coaster.

Magic Carpet Ride - he kept asking to ride it again

Woody!

Walt and Mickey

The Ferry coming to get us

Gavin loved riding it

We got some dinner on the way home then the guys played a game of pool at the house and Gavin and Nico attempted foosball. I crashed pretty soon after Gavin - the heat and all that walking wore me out!

Disney World, Here we Come!

Vacation time at Disney is here! Dani and I took the kids down in her car late in the morning on Thursday so we could get to the house early and get groceries, let the kids swim, and get settled. Jason and Erik had to work late so they weren't able to meet us down in Florida until late. We were glad we went ahead and got there early instead of waiting for them since it was almost 2am before they arrived. Mia, Nico, and Gavin took good naps in the car, then we stopped at Steak and Shake for lunch. Delicious!

The boys were thrilled to finally be at the "Disney World House"

Here they are ready for bed after pool time. They explored every inch of the house and touched all the buttons they shouldn't have! We all went to bed early, as Magic Kingdom was the next day!
