Then and Now

One of the things that we wanted a picture of was Patrick with Goofy. He did not enjoy it very much the first time around.

Patrick was supposed to pretend to cry and be scared, he was laughing too hard to recreate the picture.

Walt Disney World

This year we were lucky enough to travel to Orlando for Craig's Work Family Meeting. We got to meet up with the other families and spend time at Disneyworld. We spent 5 days exploring Downtown Disney and all 4 of the Disney Parks. It was hot, but we had tons of fun. The kids were exhausted at the end of each day, so were Craig and I, but I can honestly say we made many happy memories.

A beautiful sunrise to see us off.

 The kids tried to talk us into renting the green Mustang convertible.

 Our hotel was very nice, we had a suite with a kitchen and a great pool to cool off in after the park each evening.

ON Thursday night we all met in Downtown Disney at the T-Rex Cafe. It was great to see all of the kids and the families. I was amazed at how quickly the kids fell into giggles and conversations.

 There were all kinds of neat things at the Lego Store.

 Big Alison and Patrick were just as goofy as ever.

 Our first ride at Disney World.

 Ice cream at Disney, can it get any better than this?

 Alison chose a Lanyard and Pins as her souvenir. She was really into trading pins. We do not have any of the original pins that she bought.

 Alison got to help during the Scuba demonstration.

 More fun than a barrel of monkeys!

 Alison is a huge roller coaster fan, the faster the better.

 Exhausted and ready to go home.

 We started our trip with a golden sunrise and ended it with a rainbow. Not too shabby.

 Alison started notes for her blog on the plane.

I did not want to lug around my big camera for the trip. I figured that it would be a hassle in the park. My phone did a pretty good job though.
