Day 2 - Sea World

On Tuesday we headed out of the world of Disney and went to Sea World. It was by far my favorite. I was giddy that morning because I was so excited, I had never been! Here is Emma and Brooks before we left that morning.





All the kiddos playing as we waited on the city bus, they were having too much fun.



Shamu



Waiting on the Shamu show to start, this was my very favorite. I was so impresssed and so glad I got to go!





Cutie pie!



If you look in the middle of the picture you can see 1 of the whales as they get ready to start.



Show time







Love this one doing a back flip!





The mama and the baby!



The end was great, they went out with a bang for sure!



My sweet family!



They had this big play/park area and the kids LOVED IT!!





Brooks had SO MUCH fun going down this slide. He was hesitant at first and then next thing you know he comes flying down on his belly. We did this about 10,413 times! :)





Pretty, pretty parrots!!



Then we saw some stingrays...



And some baby shark



Finally, Brooks was ready for some pictures!





Jacob, Emma, Colyn and Brooks, this was the best group picture I got.



Next we went and watched the Sea Lion & Otter show, it was pretty funny. They had a mime before the show and I didn't get a picture but he was HILARIOUS!!! I actually wish I had a video of him. Definitely the funniest mime I've ever seen!





I honestly have to say I'm not sure I've ever seen a walrus in person, he sure was ugly!!



After that we took a short break and Emma and Brooks played some while Brooks just sat and watched!









Then we went and saw some dolphins.



We had a great day and were exhausted by the time we got back to our resort but it was so worth it. I'd go back tomorrow if I could!

Day 1 - Phone pictures

Here are the pictures from my phone of our day at Magic Kingdom.

Ready to go to breakfast with Mickey and friends.







Miss Sassy



Riding in the teacups



He loved driving the car, he got to sit in the drivers seat all by himself he just couldn't reach the pedal. He cried when we had to get off!



Emma driving daddy!



The parade







Emma watching the parade on daddy's shoulders...



While Brooks was fast asleep!

Day 1 Disney - Magic Kingdom

Last Monday we started out our disney trip with a character breakfast at Chef Mickey's. We got to see Mickey, Minnie, Donald, Daisy, Goofy and Pluto. Here are some pictures.



Here is Mickey signing our books.





Us with Donald, Brooks liked them from far away but as they got closer he wasn't so sure. By the end of the week he was a pro.



Minnie signing our book





We laughed when Pluto signed our book on his nose!!



Daddy looks a little scared of Pluto! :)





Our breakfast was yummy and we had fun starting out our day with all of them.

Our Mr. Hollywood!



Jacob, Brooks & Emma (I'm not sure where Colyn was) I have to say Brooks never has his paci and towel (as he calls it and actually doesn't have it in this picture) but I think he was so overwhelmed most every picture we have he has it. Now that we're back he'll be saying bye bye to paci very soon.



The beautiful castle!





Riding the carousel



Emma enjoyed the show they put on in front of the castle (I love this picture)







The four of us later that night when we came back for the parade and fireworks. Brooks was not in a picture taken mode. This is right outside Magic Kingdom in front of the train.



Here is Mr. Dragon that Emma wanted a picture of.



The castle and fireworks at night...







All in all it was a great day (although really, really crowded)! I've got so many pictures on my phone as well I want to get on here so there will probably be 2 posts for each day we were there. I want to make sure we have them ALL when I print my book!

Off to Disney we went...

Last Sunday we left for Disney World. We had been planning this trip since August. Me, Ben, Emma, Brooks, Nancy (Ben's mother), Amber, Jarred, Jacob and Colyn went. The kids were beyond excited about going and even more so when we got closer to time to go. Here are some pictures from that day at the airport and once we got to Disney.

I couldn't get them to both look at me at the same time but you can tell they are excited to board the plane.



Brooks being silly on the plane



Emma ready for take off



I asked Brooks when we started to take off if he wanted me to hold his hand because I was sitting between him and Emma and Emma wanted to hold my hand. He said "no, me safe". It was too funny! He truly was Mr. Independent most of the trip.





We can't forget Addison and Addi that went with us!



This was once we were off the plane in Orlando and waiting on the Magical Express to take us to our resort.



Emma & Jacob waiting while we got checked in at our resort.



We finally made our way to our room after checking in and getting lunch and this is what we found. Emma was so excited about it!



Brooks didn't want a picture and we had a great one of all of us smiling but Ben's eyes were closed. Here is me, Ben and Emma waiting on the bus for Downtown Disney. We had dinner reservations at Rain Forest Cafe.



Me and my sweet baby girl



Silly girl...hanging out waiting for our table



Me and Amber



Our fun dessert, the volcano, this thing was huge!! It was SO GOOD!!



It was a great trip going down and we couldn't wait till morning when all our magical fun began!!
