Our big adventure continues!

After our Animal Kingdom adventures, we went to Epcot for lunch and ate in Mexico! We rode Soaring, and Test track. The Finding Nemo attraction was really cool. We saw all the fish that were in the movie. Sharks, stingrays, turtles, jellies, and big manatees.
After our afternoon in Epcot we went back to Magic Kingdom to do a few things we missed the day before. We got to have one on one time with the princesses. Maya was beaming with joy when she talked with them.
They were so sweet and loving! What a once in a lifetime experience! Belle is her favorite princess at the moment! I think she was in shock when we first got up to her.
She warmed up very quickly! Maya loved Minnie and Mickey's Houses!
We finished up our very long day watching the Spectro Magic parade and the fireworks! They were exhausted!

Our Big Adventure!

The last full day of our vacation we pushed our limits! The morning started out at Animal Kingdom. The girls road the Twirl -a- Whirl roller coaster. It was great!
Maya loved Goofy! He kissed her on the nose, she thought that was funny.
We used this leash to keep up with Maya. She loved it, she thought she was a puppy! We saw the Lon King Show. The dancing, singing, and scenery was amazing! We also went on the African Safari and had a great view of cool animals.
Daddy's girl!
We joined the bugs in the show "Tough to be a Bug"
Maya was scared again!!!
This was the Toy story ride at MGM
More characters!
What a great day!

Magic Kingdom

We had an awesome day at Magic Kingdom. We saw lots of characters and rode all the rides we could. McKenna was very brave this year. She tried lots of new rides like Thunder Mountain, Splash Mountain, Pirates of the Caribean, Soaring, Test track and attempted Tower of Terror! She loved them all! Morgan was very excited that she met the height requirement for all the rides this year!
We fit right in with the wild animals!
It's a Small World never changes.
This was one thing that didn't scare Maya!
Maya loved Fairy God Mother's hugs!
We did the fast passes all day and didn't have to wait at all! This is the way to do Disney, beautiful weather + no lines = happy children!
Enjoying the Jungle Boat ride. This was in Pooh's corner. They wanted some of that yummy honey!

Day 2 Sea World

Our second day we spent the morning at Aquatica. It's an awesome water park at Sea World. The pictures we took there are not developed yet. After a great morning of swimming and sliding I took Maya back for a nap. Tony took the big girls back to Sea World to feed the dolphins and sting rays.
Morgan is holding a sardine between her fingers that the rays come and grab!
We got an up close look at some beautiful dolphins!
That evening we took the kids to downtown Disney and ate at the new T-Rex restaurant. It's similar to the Rain Forest Cafe, but with pre-historic animals! It was really cool, but Maya didn't think so. She was terrified of the roaring dinosaurs! We ate in the ice age room where it looks like a giant cave of ice. The ice turned different colors too!
Maya didn't want to show her smile for some reason! She covered it all night long!
Happy Girls!

Florida Vacation

Our first afternoon at the resort pool after a long 11 hour drive. The condo was beautiful! We had two bedrooms and a full kitchen. We did lots of eating at the resort.
Our first full day we woke up and went to Sea World. We had breakfast with Jack Hanna. He's a big animal lover and the girls like his TV show. They brought out lots of neat animals while we were eating a great buffet breakfast!
Our first show was the sea lions. The girls thought is was really funny! They were raising their hands hoping to be a helper! Unfortunatly we were all the way at the top of the arena.
The landscape and flowers were so beautiful! The Shamu show BELIEVE was the hit of the day! They thought it was so cool that the huge whales could do so many tricks!
