Even more vacation pictures.......

Now you know we take WAY too many pictures and it's hard for me to narrow them down......

Hollywood Studios

I was so excited to see Handy Manny.  I made the kids stand in line to have their picture taken with him.

Ansley dancing in the High School Musical production at Hollywood Studios

Ansley and Elisabeth's face on a Star Wars poster.  Now that is hilarious!

Our table at the Sci-Fi Diner.   It was like you were at a drive in theater.  We watched 50's Sci Fi trailers while we ate.  It was great!

Parade Time!  I love a good Disney parade!

Finally!  I had been waiting all day to see Mr. Potato Head.  Seriously.  The only thing better would have been to have my picture taken with him.   I think I was more excited about this parade than the kids!

Ansley and Elisabeth dancing with the parade people

The green army men.....they were so cool!  Elisabeth wouldn't get near them because their face was covered and she thought that was very creepy.

For those who have watched the Hannah Montana movie you'll know what this is.  I thought Ansley was going to have a cow when she saw this.

Now that's a scary thought.......Elisabeth in the driver's seat.

Disney - Part 2

The river rapid ride at Animal Kingdom.  Elisabeth and Ansley loved it.  They weren't wet......they were SOAKED.  I am so glad I didn't ride this one.

Jan got volunteered (by Ron) to be a part of the dance.  She's in the orange shirt and tan shorts.  ;-)

Mount Everest Ride.  I was definitely too scared to ride it.  I couldn't even handle Thunder Mountain so I knew this ride wasn't for me.  John and Scott rode it instead. 

Family picture at Epcot.

Now this is the way to travel

Cooling off in the fountain

Decorating their KidCot masks at Epcot

 

Being Vikings in Norway at Epcot

China

A Fu dog just the right size for Elisabeth

Chinese Acrobats --- Epcot

Their finished masks.  Elisabeth made me put the Musketeer slogan on the top of hers.  All for one and one for all!!

Dressing up in Japan --- Epcot

Disney

The Magic Kingdom.  This is in the morning when we were fresh.  We should have taken a picture of us at the end of the day when we had been in this park for 12 hours straight in 90 degree heat.  It wasn't pretty I can assure you.

Elisabeth thought Cinderella's castle was great!  She had been wanting to see this for a long time!

Riding "It's a Small World".   She loved this ride!

It's a Small World

Aaahh.....the teacups.   We didn't twirl fast.  Ron and I would have definitely turned green.

This teacup on the other hand was spinning fast.  Scott likes to get it going fast!

Elisabeth was scared of the Rabbit.   I had to stand with her in this picture because she wouldn't get in it otherwise.

Elisabeth is driving!  She thought that was very cool.

Something funky was going on with my camera.  Everyone looks red.

The day was complete.......we met Cinderella.  It's the one princess that Elisabeth kept begging to meet.

I have no comment for this one.

Fireworks around the castle

We stayed for the Electrical Parade that night. It was good but boy was I tired by then!

Mary Poppins

Elisabeth and Tinker Bell.  I was kinda glad to meet her too.  I had never met her before.  Hmmm.....Who was this vacation for?.....me or the kids?!

Family picture at Animal Kingdom (day #2 of 5)

 

A 15 week old baby gorilla.  I could have sat there for hours watching her.  I have never seen a gorilla this small.  It was truly fascinating.
