One Sweet World: Disney Trip

I just returned home after dropping off my mom, dad, and sister at the airport. I love having them come to visit and cherish the time we get to spend together, but I'm always sad when it comes to an end. :( BUT...we had such fun times and made great memories. It's 8:30, and I'm just now sitting down to eat dinner while blogging. I'm going to mainly just post pictures because I'm tired!

We went to Disney World for the weekend the day after they got here. OHHHHHH, how I love Disney. I've missed it so much! It had been several months since my last visit, and it was fantastic to be back! Can't wait until we can renew our passes (although I'm not sure Colin and I are on the same page on that topic :)... ) I had planned an "express" trip to each of the four parks, going on only a few rides at each one. We didn't get to do everything I had planned, but most of it.

Waiting on The Lion King show to start. I think this was definitely Grace's favorite part of the day. She squealed and kicked the whole time. Jack was very attentive, but didn't show excitement. He sat completely still for the entire half hour though, so I'm thinking he must've enjoyed it.

Taking a break in the Baby Care Center

Jack would've loved the safari at Animal Kingdom, but he fell asleep in line and didn't wake up until the end.

She never got upset once the entire day. Here she is taking a nap in her stroller.

Jack's first ride on Dumbo. I think this was my favorite part of the day. He was loving it. It was so cold that as we went around, he was waving and his little chin was shivering.

The babies were great despite the chilly weather. And I must admit, as much as I would love to move back to the midwest, I think I can say that I officially am not a fan of the cold!

Getting on the monorail to go back to our car after a long day at the parks. Still smilin'.

We stayed at the Fort Wilderness cabins, and I was so looking forward to taking Jack to the campfire party. It started at 7:30, which is right at his bed time. After our cookout, Colin, Courtney, Jack, and I took the golf cart down to where they had the fire. Jack dozed off on Colin right when we got there, so we just left. We got back to the cabin and Gracie was watching Baby Einstein on the iPhone.

Having a fun time camping.

Riding on my daddy's shoulders and looking at the horseys

This one looks like a senior picture.

He FINALLY got the courage to sit on the horse! After many times of him telling us he wants to...only to chicken out when we got up to the horse, he did it!

Family portrait by the playground that was at Fort Wilderness

Another family portrait. This time we were posing on the golf cart that got us from place to place on the campgrounds.

and another...

Jack had so much fun playing and running around at the playground!

Colin was "babywearing" trying to keep Gracie warm!

"This playground is just as fun as the Disney parks!"

This was when we first got to the campfire party. They were watching a guy play the guitar while Chip and Dale danced.

Still there

Ten minutes later, when we got back to the cabin

Love my auntie Court

and my Papa

We went to the Outlet mall twice. Shopping with Courtney makes me feel like I need to step out of my "plain Jane" ways and get a stylish outfit or two. Somebody help!

Shopping girl

We didn't have room for the double stroller in the car with all of their luggage, so more "babywearing". She was squealing and loving being in the Baby Bjorn.

Colin, Courtney, and I got away for a movie night, one of my most favorite things to do. We never get to go to the theater to see movies, so it's always a special treat to go do that. We saw "Due Date' which kept us all laughing!
