Hi Friends! Well, it has been forever since I have added to our blog spot. The truth is, the thought of trying to blog our Disney Trip was a bit overwhelming! So, maybe I should just let the pictures speak for themselves. :) I am so happy to know that so many of my friends actually check our blog! Yeah - thank you - you give me motivation to get at it again.
We had such a great time at Disney. The boys were really into the rides this time and they loved the shows. They had their few characters that they really wanted to see, but of course, mommy had them take their picture with almost everyone that we saw. I love the characters! I think more than them! I can't even count the number of times we rode Thunder Mtn, Buzz Lightyear Ranger Spin and Star Tours. In Mason and Colton's opinion, they could do a whole theme park centered around Star Wars. MGM was definitely their favorite park, though I still favor The Magic Kingdom. And Mason even got have a real sword fight with Captian Hook!!!
Here's straight from the boys:
Mason: "The Star Wars ride was my favorite. And Daddy and I went on Thunder Mtn and Space Mtn. I like when we saw the parade. And I liked when we got to pick out our toy. And I like when we went to the Lego store. "
Colton: "hmm, I like the Lego store. Uhm...uhm...I liked the Star Wars ride. I liked when we ate dinner inside the fish bowl (aquarium restaurant). I like my new sparkly puppy dog Lucky. I liked the Star Wars characters. Nothing else - that's it."
(We let the boys pick a souvenir the last day - Mason picked a Star Wars space ship and Colton picked a sparkly dalmatian, that has glittered paws and ears, a "king" (not princess) crown, a rhinestone collar and resides in a gold and pink bag. Dad was so proud - mommy enjoyed helping him pick out the accessories though).
So, as you can see Star Wars and Legos were the big hit! Hmm - was our vacation at Disney World? You'd never know it by there descriptions. No mention of Mickey Mouse, or dinner at Cinderella's castle? There is nothing that can compare to seeing the joy, smiles, wonder and sense of adventure in your child at Disney World. In fact - Mason's words were " Disney World is Heaven for kids". It was such a wonderful vacation and I'd take them every year if I could! Paxton stayed in Houston with my parents, so I keep telling Travis that we have to return when he is still young enough to experience the "magic of Disney". Any one up for going next year? Hee Hee
