Walt Disneyworld

We finally were able to get to Disneyworld. The kids were so excited. Dad had to go to Orlando to check out a show for work, so he decided to take the family with him. When he told the kids we were going to go they were so excited. I have pictures on the blog with captions, I hope they do it justice but if it dosen't I'm sorry you might just have to go there yourself (I am just kidding).

We arrived late Tuesday night at the hotel. It took us longer than we expected to get there (stay on the freeway as much as you can). Clark thought if we took a highway we might get there quicker, nope it took us forever. We saw more of Florida, then we expected (untill it got dark) , but it was nice. We stayed at the Residence Inn in Orlando, FL. The kids liked that because the Clark, Ryan and Emma had a room for themselves and one for mom and dad. Emma really liked that she got her own king size bed, and the boys had to share.

The first day we were there dad went to the show to check out what was needed and then he took us up north into the areas, where he served part of his mission. I thought it was really interesting because I had only ever been to Fort Lauderdale before (and when I say Fort Lauderdale I really mean the hotel, for a conference with Clark). I can't believe how big some of the rivers are. Clark was able to find two of the apartments where he lived, and I think it brought back a lot of memories for him.

I don't know what to say that the pictures don't so I will say a little and then you can go look at the pictures. We started off to the Disney MGM park on Thursday October 25th and the Magic Kingdom on Friday October 26th. We took the hotels shuttle the first day and the kids were having a hard time containing themselves. When we finally were on our way all you could hear from them were giggles. They were looking out the windows to get a glimpse before anyone else. The first thing the boys wanted to do was go on the Tower of Terror, Emma was reluctant but she did it anyway (I don't think she will ride it again anytime soon). All Emma wanted to do was to meet the Princesses. She was able to see the Beauty and the Beast Musical, the Little Mermaid show, she had storytime with Belle, she met two of the Little Einsteins, she was picked to have a hoedown with Woody, Jessie and Bullseye (we had a hard time getting her to do it, she is so shy) , and last but not least she met Cinderella, Belle, Sleeping Beauty and Minnie and Mickey Mouse. She was so excited and she still talks about it.

The boys really didn't care about the princesses so Dad took them on rides that Emma really didn't care about. They were able to meet Mickey Mouse and while Emma and I were on our way back to the boys, from meeting the Princesses, Ryan was picked by Jack Sparrow to duel with him. He is now a pirate with Jack Sparrow's crew. I hope the boys had fun. I enjoyed myself.

I hope everything is going well with you, we love and miss you.
