DISNEYWORLD - WARNING MOMMA LIKES TO TAKE PICTURES

I feel I need to tell you that I originally picked out 50+ pictures and after whittling them down have put up 22. I know this is still a ton...sorry. I took more than 200 and just think they are all so great.

Anyway, here is Daddy and AZ on the Jungle Cruise. The button she is wearing let all the employees know that it was her birthday. She loved all the attention.

Big Brother just about jumped out of the boat, he thought it was so fun.

This is a picture I took while AZ and Mommy waited for Dade and Dad to ride Big Thunder Mountain (hopefully next time AZ will be tall enough to ride more rides and maybe Momma wont be pregnant [this is the first time I've said anything about being pregnant:)]. AZ is trying to sneak up on a little "tweet, tweet". Everyone around her was laughing.

We had to ride the Merry-Go-Round.

Our first encounter with the Disney Characters was actually Snow White, but both kids had a bad case of the "shyes" (I know it's not actually a word, but do you think I spelt it right?)

For AZ's birthday we took her to the Princess Storybook Dinner. Her face is a little cut off, but you still get the joy.

And more joy. The funny part was that she was a mess the whole time except when one of the princesses would come over to say "hi". So much so that Dain leaned over to me at one point and said "Do you think one of them would sit down and eat with us so she would be happier?"

The next morning was much better. We had the Safari Breakfast with Donald and Friends. Daisy Duck was a big hit. We loved this.

Mickey Mouse came over to say "hi".

After breakfast we went on a Safari Ride. Very cool. I took tons of pictures, but the best one was after we got off. Aislyn asked everyday after this one if we were going to see the animals again.

Brother and Sis. hiking around the forest.

I love the fish in the background. Dade's face could be happier...nap time.

Goofy was just as Goofy should be...goofy. He came by to say "hi" several times and Dade ran up to him each time.

The only way we could get Aislyn anywhere near this guy was by him sneaking up behind her. She had no idea.

We stayed in two different places on our trip. This was the Beach Club Resort. The kids loved the Lighthouse and we took a little boat ride to get into ESPN Wide World of Sports.

The true reason for the trip was that Dain won an award called Circle of Excellence. ESPN flew us out to Disney World and while we were there Dain and I attended a banquet and he recieved an award. He is amazing.

The next day we went to Epcot. Dade's favorite ride was here, Mission Space. We also ate at a great hibachi place...yum.

Here we are staying that the Cabins at Fort Wilderness. Every lobby had these great old movies playing and we would have to drag the kids away every time we waked into the lobby.

We decided to head back to Animal Kingdom Park. This day was pretty cold, but Dade and Dad were adventurous enough to try the water rapids ride. Dade loved it so much...they rode it 5 times in a row. They were drenched. This group rode most of those trips together. Dade is sitting on top of a metal trash can...the only warm place we could find.

The center of the park had this beautiful Tree of Life.

Here is a close up view. So much detail.

Aislyn made owl sounds for hours afterward.

We had an amazing time. This will let you know how much Dade loved being there. This week at church one of his friends was gone. When he asked me where he was I told him his family had gone to Disney World. He started to cry. It made me cry too. I assured him we would try to visit again.
