Disney World...

8 days was a little much for me, but at the same time, it was a great trip! We had allot of fun accept for the weather. We thought it would be a nice time of year to go but it turned out to be so HOT and Humid!!! I can handle hot, after all, I grew up in Arizona. But when you add 90% Humidity to 90+ degree heat (maybe slightly exaggerated) that is when it kills me! I was DONE with the heat and humidity by day 3. Poor Katie was about to have a heat stroke on day 1 (at the park) after we had been there an hour. We stripped off her clothes and bought one of those over priced fans that has a water bottle attached. It was worth the $17 and two new AA batteries every day to cool her down and to keep her from over heating the rest of the trip. She was such an angel the whole trip. She never fussed accept when hungry and slept so good at night (considering we were all sleeping in the same room). We spent 6 days at Disney World + one day driving there and one day driving home. It is an 8 hour drive with kids(6 hours if you drive straight through.) But it wasn't a bad drive. :o) Of course we have a TON of pictures! I will spare you and not post all of them on here. Just the highlights....

DAY 1: We celebrated the girls birthday the first night we got there so they would have their new cameras to take pictures through out the trip...

Day 2: Magic Kingdom

Day 3: Holywood Studios

Katie chillin' with the fan blowing on her to cool her down...

Day 4: The kids outside the dinosaur ride at Animal Kingdom. We went with the Petersons...

They had it all decked out for Halloween

Day 7: Animal Kingdom for the 2nd time and Katrina's 4th Birthday. Since Kenna and Katrina's birthday are back to back we celebrate them together when we can. Especially since this was our last day at DW. We had to make them both feel special. First thing we did when we woke up was give them their presents...The both really wanted baloons that they have in the parks and minnie mouse shirts so insted of paying the high price at DW, Tim went to Wal-Mart and bought them. They were so excited!!!


The Petersons bought the girls necklases. They loved them!!! They are still wearing them almost week later! Kenna's was Belle (She loves Belle from beauty and the beast) and Katrina's was Tinker Bell (she loves tinker bell)


Before we got on the bus to take us to the park, Tim went to the front desk at the Resort to get "It's my birthday" pins from them. The guy was so nice, he gave the girls each their own card and a Minnie Mouse plush toy. They were thrilled!!!


Our Family at Animal Kingdom

Katrina was so sweet and shared her Minnie Mouse with Katie.

Day 8: Kenna's 7th Birthday. Going home. In the morning at breakfast there was a clown there making baloon's. Kenna was sure to let the clown know it was her birthday. He made her a baloon flower and then she wanted Katrina to feel special so she told the clown it was Katrina's birthday yesterday so he made one for Katrina too.


And the boys got sowards of course!

On our 8 hour treck home we stopped for dinner at Outback to make it a special day for Kenna. They brought out a treat and sang happy birthday to her and of course Katrina too.
