Disney World!

We're back from out big trip! Yay and boo... Yay because it was a long plane ride, boo because we're not in disney world! Our trip was definitely INTERESTING! It was so much fun though! Quite a challenge to take 3 little kids to the world by yourself! Thank goodness for my sit and stand stroller and my native carrier! Ryan was with us quite a bit whenever he wasn't at his conference, but I did spend many hours with the kiddos in the parks with just me. But they were amazingly good! We of course had a few fits and tired grumpy kids at a few points, but they had a blast! We got to go on several rides and attractions and meet a ton of disney characters! They kids thought it was way fun to get their "autographs". We met Mickey and Minnie, Donald and Goofy and Pluto, a green man from toy story, Jo-Jo and Goliath, Mary Poppins, Pinnochio, and Princess Aurora and Phillip (Sleeping Beauty) and Cinderella and Prince Charming! It was also a great time of year for decorations, getting all ready for Christmas. It was a lot colder than we thought it would be though! I think one of the days it was warmer in Wyoming than it was there! good thing we brought jackets! Blake's favorite rides were the star wars one and the "Jedi Training" and the Test Track ride. Emmalee says her favorite was Tower of Terror. Yup, you heard that right. She was terrified, but loved it. And of course I think our favorite show was Fantasmic! We had great seats. Jarom was a trooper. He took naps in the stroller and got to go on plenty of the rides with us. Too bad he won't remember it all being so small. But we will! And we have plenty of pics to prove it! I think Emmalee's highlight of the trip was getting her "princess makeover" at the bibbidi bobbidi boutique in the castle! She got her hair, nails, and makeup all done up and then we went over and got some pics all dressed up. Princess for a day! Blake wasn't left out! He got a "Cool Dude" style complete with pixie dust and a painted mickey in the back that we're STILL trying to wash out! We got to go on Safari and ride a train at Animal Kingdom, see a great fireworks show at the castle, and ride a ride through the big ball at Epcot! Such a fun trip, but oh so expensive. We'll have to wait a few years before we try that one again! But I think they had a "magical" time!
