Disneyworld 2010

This post is long overdue, obviously, but I didn't know what online source to use to get all my pics (600+) in one album (and needed a few months to think about it :)).  Then Kenny said "why don't you just pic 20 of your favorites?"  Wow!  Brilliant!  So, here we go....

We started planning this trip about 18 months ago.  We were getting out of debt and wanted to celebrate it with a trip so we decided on Disneyworld and started saving....

The first day, December 21st
This was our first dinner - at a Japanese restaurant inside Epcot after a VERY long day of traveling 


The princess and her castle ;)



One of many character breakfasts 


This was an AWESOME experience for the boys - The Pirates League where they got their make-up done, chose costumes and every accessory you can imagine!
Here they are after make-up.  They got lots of "stop and stare" moments with this one.  They looked great!

Christmas morning we had more of a mellow day.  We ordered room service and opened presents.
Opening presents
The boys were SO excited for this gift...Trey shows it with his Blue Steel look and Tyson by biting the box (??)
Brooklyn got to meet lots of princesses - here we are with Belle.
One very cold day we went to Hollywood Studios.  One of the attractions is watching the "set"of Indiana Jones.  It wouldn't be a trip with Kenny if he didn't get picked to be part of the cast.  Here he is, third from the left, so excited.  I have to say he could quit his day job.  He was really good and very dramatic :).
This is a shot from Animal Kingdom on the safari ride.  This was pretty incredible - just like I imagine a safari to be.  It's not like the zoo - the animals roam freely, not behind any walls or in cages!
At the petting zoo - Brooklyn loved this!
Cute boy shot
At Magic Kingdom - one of the only family pics we got
Waiting early in the morning for Jedi training at Hollywood Studios 
Tyson fighting Darth Vader
Trey fighting Darth Vader

We had such a great time, despite sickness and VERY cold unseasonable Florida weather.  God was kind to allow us a trip like this!  It was a memorable one!!

Jedi training- whoever thought to have that at disney was brilliant. you could tell your boys were loving it.
my favorite shot was brooklyn in front of the castle. Really pretty!
