Magical Moments

Jaime, Davon, Denise, Jason, Connie, Larry, Mason, Brady, Alex



 Here we are at "The Kingdom" as Alex likes to call it.  We had to bundle up, the highs for the day were only in the mid 40's.  Thankfully the weather has warmed up since then.  We have really enjoyed each park we've visited.  Jason and I were here in 2004 but with 3 little ones, our interests have really changed.  Mason and Alex are really into meeting the characters and getting their autographs.  Brady has taken a lot of long naps in his stroller but he likes meeting them too when he's awake.

 This is Jake the Pirate.  Mason & Alex knew who he was but the rest of us were clueless.  The lines have been fairly short to meet the characters.  We've walked right in to meet some and up to 30 minutes for others.  I'd guess the average wait is about 15 minutes but it is so worth it.  They really spend time with the boys, lots of hugs & high 5's.  We never feel like they're rushing us.

We couldn't pass up the chance to go on the Aerosmith Rockin' Rollercoaster.  It's by far Jason's favorite ride and he was super excited when we got to ride in the very front car!  We got a fast pass so we didn't have to wait in line so long & then Jason & Davon went on it for a second time.

Let the Fun Begin!

Just a quick post to let everyone know we arrived safely.  Alex wasn"t feeling well last night on the plane ride.  He slept the whole way and was looking a  little green when we landed.  I'm glad I grabed an airsick bag from the plane before we got off because he had to use it on the way to our house.  He's back to normal now, coloring and giving Mason a hard time.

Speaking of our house, this place is GREAT!!!  We love the extra room we have to spread out and the pool is wonderful.  I figured when they said it was a heated pool that meant it was just above the air temp.  Nope!  It is like a warm bath, the thermometer said it was 90 degrees.  We had a lot of fun splashing around in it after lunch and plan to be in there a lot.  Brady is getting along like a little trooper.  He's short on napping but he's having a good time and behaving so I can't complain.  Mason is having a good time as well.  He really enjoys the extra time he's getting to spend with cousin Davon..  Jason is wishing we had a pool like this one in our backyard. 

The plans for today are to take it easy, check out the facilities at the clubhouse (playground, etc.) and get everything ready for the big day tomorrow.  Look out, Magic Kingdom, here we come!!
