Last Day :(

We each picked our favorite rides and spent our last day at the Magic Kingdom before leaving the happiest place on earth.

Obama was onsite today lecturing at a conference, and we actually saw the motorcade--kinda cool.

We still had the same favorites ... Space Mountain, Jungle Cruise...can't wait to visit again.

Hoop-di-do-Revue!

We had to leave Animal Kingdom a little early to get to our dinner show on time. Both Shelly and Michelle raved about the Hoop-di, so we were all in. It was FANTASTIC! I don't think I've ever heard Tanner laugh so hard, but all the kids loved the singing and the joking. They've been singing those old country show tunes ever since. Perfect for our last night at the Happiest Place on Earth.

Animal Kingdom

It's a close call to know if The Magic Kingdom or Animal Kingdom is my favorite. I was actually surprised by Animal Kingdom. I thought it would be just another zoo, but the Save the Earth mentality (down to the paper straws) overwhelmed me! LOVED the Birds of Prey show, and I'm not even a big fan of birds! The Dinosaur ride was awesome, and the Safari bus ride was breathtaking. They really have the African savannah tucked away back there! We finished with our favorite Bug's Life show--we had seen it at Disneyland, and left with a final shot of the Tree of Life. Love

Hollywood Studios

Very busy day at the Studios. First thing we got the kids signed up for Jedi Training-video of that coming as soon as I figure out how to upload. Other fun: Tower of Terror, Rocking Roller Coaster (the others, not me), crazy cool stunts, Toy Story Mania, and ended with a real casting calm of American Idol. The rain tried to spoil our day, but we powered through another 12 hours of fun. There is so much to do and see here! I'm beginning to understand why people come back over and over !

Epcot

Day 2

We were all exhausted but powered through the Todd plan to see most of Epcot. The boys loved all the futuristic rides and couldn't stop talking about the huge golf ball. We raced though the entire world and headed back to the awesome hotel pool to try and relax. Big day tomorrow...Hollywood Studios!!

I'm Starving!!!!

That's all we've heard from Grady all week! Problem is if we feed him he has to poop. Vicious cycle.

Happy Birthday Madison!

She knew she was getting a phone, but we surprised her on this trip by calling and waking her up with it by her side. How can she already be 11 years old??? It wasn't that long ago we were decorating her room with Classic Pooh.
