Disney Magic

For the past few years, our family has taken an annual trip to Disney World.  I don’t know who gets more excited…our grandchildren or us!

This year was extra special;  all 5 of our sons came.  Talk about a lot of planning!  My wonderful daughter in love took care of every last detail.

Thanks so much, Kristin.  Your hard work paid off.  Each day was filled with all kinds of fun things to do, and we ate at some amazing places.

We spent our first day in the Magic Kingdom.  Here we are at the Crystal Palace for lunch.  Yummy…

There is nothing like watching the spectacular parade on Main Street.  The magic had officially begun.

Karli had a love affair with her cousin Grace; she would not let her out of her sight!

Even my son Jordan got mouse fever!  Who doesn’t love Mickey?

As you can see, the weather was just gorgeous.  Lots of sunshine and smiles.  Couldn’t have been more perfect.

Next stop… Animal Kingdom.  Uncle Joe’s job was to entertain the kids while we waited for our table.  As you can see, he did a great job!

Karli (our little animal lover) was just mesmerized by an amazing bird show.

As you can see, we planed our outfits accordingly.  Looking forward to making that scrapbook soon.

To end our day we went on an adventured-filled safari ride.

We took a break during the week and went to Sea World.  Oh boy, what fun!  This was my first visit…I’ll be back for sure.

Another highlight from our trip was going to the American Idol Experience.  No flash photography was allowed.   As you can see that smile lit up the place!

Now…for the hard part, who would we choose?  Who will be the next American Idol?

My three amigos,  still ready for more fun!

One of my favorite places to visit in Disney World is Epcot. Now that the girls are getting older, they have found their favorite countries to visit.

Here is our reward for getting old!

 

 

 

 

wpe IMG_0817 It seems just like yesterday we took these guys to Disney as little boys.  Where has the time gone?

And now we have our precious grandson!  So many moments I’ll cherish forever.

I could keep going with the many pictures I took, but for now I’ll stop.

We were worn out by the end of our trip, but we are already looking forward to going back!   Thanks so much taking your time to stop by.
