The VayKay

And it's over! My head is spinning. Trying to get out of the Disney bubble we've been in and dive back into busy life is TOUGH! Thankfully we have plenty of memories, souvenirs and pictures to get us through. There's no way I'll be able to post ALL the pictures on the blog, so only my favorites will make the cut.

We had such a fun time, it's hard to believe it is over.

It was fun seeing the kids' excitement as they experienced new things. They saw their cousins (who are semi-pro at the whole Disney thing) hugging characters and getting autographs, going on new rides, so they followed right along.

Dillan Highlights: Saved $100 from recycling and couldn't wait to spend every last penny...which he didn't. He came home with pirate toys, race cars, and a bunch of make-up school work. Dillan favorite rides were Test Track and Soarin' @ Epcot, Thunder and Splash Mountains @ Magic Kingdom, DINOSAUR @ Animal Kingdom, and Star Tours @ Hollywood Studios. He was selected by Crush the Turtle during a show, and got to talk with him on the screen. Then Crush bonded with Mom as we talked about our off-spring. So FUN! He loved swimming in the pool at the hotel, walking backwards through the parks, studying the maps at every park, and being with Roxy and Dono.

Leah Highlights: Drank her weight in chocolate milk, daily. Turning 4 while in Florida, and having the most magical birthday breakfast with the princesses! She must have been sung to a dozen times, each time with a cupcake and candle! She loved wearing her princess dresses and crown with Roxy. She chose a baby Minnie Mouse doll for her birthday present, a character she's come to love recently. Leah also took some long strides forward at the hotel pool, she bravely swam to the side farther than she ever has before! Leah's favorite rides were: Finding Nemo and
Turtle Talk with Crush @ Epcot.

Drew Highlights: Perfect baby, never cried or complained even with no naps and stuck in a hot and sticky stroller. Discovered Dum Dum Pops and begging. Charmer to everyone he met, everywhere we went. Slept through the night every night. Probably won't remember a thing about the trip, but he'll be fun to take next time!

Daddy Highlights: Good Food. Nice relaxing in the pool. Fun being with family and seeing the kids excited about being there. Randomly selected by a Disney Researcher to take part in a survey and given a $150 gift card to spend (we bought some Christmas presents).
I wasn't convinced it would really be a vacation more than a lot of work, but I was pleasantly surprised. We loved everything about our trip, especially being with family, and we plan to do it again in a few years!

Thanks Honey for lugging your laptop all the way to Florida, when I whined and begged that I needed to stay caught up on the blog during the trip......oops.
