Disney

It was kind of a last minute decision but Joel had to go to meetings in Orlando last weekend so Evan and I tagged along. We were exhausted from our Fripp Island Tripp but this was a chance to see our good friends, the Osorios. Friday was actually Tori's birthday so Evan and I were invited to the family birthday party at Ryan's parents house (Joel was working). Evan enjoyed playing with the big kids and got really excited when he saw the cupcakes!

On Saturday Tori, Ryan, Owen, Kaylee (Ryan's little sister), Evan and I went to Disney! We spent all morning and part of the afternoon at Animal Kingdom. The boys loved the Nemo Show as well as seeing all the animals on the Safari. I'm pretty sure my favorite part was riding Mount Everest with Tori & Kaylee. Thanks Ryan for staying behind to feed the boys while we had some big-kid fun!

Ponchos and Puddles. They had a good time...


Looking like we've been through a thunderstorm...


Look at that Tiger...




On the Safari, I was amazed at how close the animals are to the vehicle...


Evan and Owen were in desperate need of a nap, despite their wonderful behavior that morning, so Tori and took them back to the hotel for a good two hour nap. After naptime we met back up with Ryan and Kaylee at Magic Kingdom. It had rained on and off all day but we were happy in our ponchos and the rain actually kept the crowd away. We were able to ride lots of rides and the boys loved almost every minute of it!

The traditional picture with the castle in the background....not a great picture of us but I promise we had lots of fun after this!


"driving" the teacups...


Riding in Pooh's Honeypot...


I really expected taking a two-year-old to Disney to be a not-so-pleasant event....but Evan LOVED it!!! The only hard part was getting him in and out of the stroller all day. I'm looking forward to our next visit and hopefully Joel will get to go go with us!

I love Disney but have never been to the Animal Kingdom. I can't wait to take Landon and Josh since it will be their first time!

Evan looks like such a big boy on the tea cup ride.
