Fun, Fun, and More Fun

We were able to take a trip to Disneyworld from May 1st through May 8th. We stayed at the Wilderness Lodge and had a fantastic time.

Anyone who has flown into Orlando should recognize this. Goofy is waiting to welcome everyone to Disney.

This is the resort we stayed at. It was just a short boat ride away from the Magic Kingdom. We loved taking the boat back and forth all day long.

This is Callie watching the fireworks at the Magic Kingdom from our hotel room. It was nice to be able to watch the fireworks right from our room.

This is Callie and Luke in the hotel lobby.

We ate at the hotel restaurant one night. The waitress brought Jason's drink in this huge jar. He had to prove that he could drink the whole thing. He complained about his stomach hurting for the rest of the trip...I wonder why?!

We ate at Chef Mickey's restaurant the first night. It was a blast. Mickey, Minnie, Goofy, Pluto, and Donald Duck all stopped by our table to sign autographs, take pictures, and hug the kids. I don't remember ever seeing our kids so excited. After this meal had all of our dinner reservations changed to try to get as many character meals in as possible. They are expensive and the food is not good, but seeing Luke's eyes light up was worth every penny.

We loved the Magic Kingdom. We only spent about half a day at each of the other parks, but couldn't get enough of the Magic Kingdom. Callie went on every single ride in the park at least once. Her favorite was Splash Mountain, she rode it at least 10 times.

Callie and Jason managed to survive the Tower to Terror at Hollywood Studios.

We had dinner at the Canadian Restuarant in Epcot. This is Ruth feeling awesome because she is finally back with her people. We taught Callie to speak Canadian. She learned that she is supposed to say "eh" at the end of every sentence; she got very good at telling people to "take off"; she asked our waiter if he knew what a "tuque" is (just to make sure he was a real Canadian). It was a great time and the food was fantastic.
Callie got her turn with the camera and captured this picture of the family and one (actually about 50) of herself.

Ruth captured this picture of Belle blowing Jason a kiss (yes really). As you might imagine, it was Jason's favorite part of the trip.

NOTE: We will be better at updating our blog. We plan to update at least once a week from now on.
