Our sleepy little boy.

Animal Kingdom

On Monday of our Disney trip, Ian took all three kids to Animal Kingdom - by himself! I spent the whole day in bed, trying to recover from my day of dizziness (the day before) and being sick all night. I was sad I missed Animal Kingdom, but I'm glad the kids and Ian still got to have fun that day - and they got some good pics. Ian deserves an award!! The kids enjoyed seeing the animals and riding in the open air truck on the safari. They got to meet Timon and some other characters, and they enjoyed seeing the dinosaur bones.

Epcot!

On Sunday of our Disney trip, we went to Epcot. I wasn't sure the kids would like it as much as the other parks, but we had a really great time! They loved the Nemo ride in clam shells, and the girls got to ride on "Soarin'" with Ian while Nicholas played in the fountains. Then we got to have lunch with the princesses in a small castle in "Norway." So fun!!!

Magic Kingdom!!

On our 2nd full day at Disney, we went to the Magic Kingdom. The kids were soooo excited to see Cinderella's castle! As soon as we got there, we saw a show in front of the castle - complete with princesses, princes, Mickey, Minnie, Malificent, and other characters.

After the show, we headed to Dumbo's ride, It's a Small World, and other rides. We also got to meet Peter Pan and talk to Tinkerbell in Pixie Hollow. Alina was especially excited!!

We had fun touring Minnie's and Mickey's houses. The night-time parade and fireworks were fantastic, and Tinkerbell flew down from the castle! Then the Fairy Godmother magically decorated the castle in ice crystals for Christmas! Nicholas fell asleep on the bus ride back to the hotel and didn't wake up again until the next morning!
