Disney World 2007

We just returned from a week at Disney World...and it truly is a magical place. With the exceptions of a few meltdowns ( Whiny World big time!), we had a great time. Who can blame the kids though when we just "Go...Go...Go..." all the time. Most days we managed to get back to our resort and take small naps in the afternoon and then go swimming. We met so many different characters this time, and overall, Riley wasn't too scared of them. We went to the Magic Kingdom 2 1/2 days, MGM, Epcot, and Animal Kingdom....and we still didn't see everything! We stayed at Old Key West Vacation Resort and had a nice 2 bedroom, since Paul's mom, Anna, went with us. We had breakfast at Cinderella's Castle and met her and many other princesses...the highlight for Reagan. And Ryan loved meeting Lightening McQueen and Mater and we rode Pirates of the Caribbean twice for him. As for Riley, well, she might have some nightmares from all the dark rides we took her on and all the 3D shows. She did come to love Pluto and Mickey by the end of the week, giving both of them kisses when we met them. I posted lots of pictures, but have almost 250. I hope you enjoy the ones I included here.....

OK...so nothing real exciting has happened around the house this month. We did have Grammer out from Texas for a visit, thus explaining the pirate costume for Ryan and pretty dress for Riley. We had a nice visit while Daddy went to China for a few days for business. We have been busy with soccer every Saturday and just getting into the swing of things with our school year. Reagan is doing really well in school, reading well, and enjoying doing science and math....guess she gets that from her Daddy! Ryan has really enjoyed school so far also. We stay busy with going to the YMCA three days a week and Bible study for Mommy on Tuesday mornings. That has been WONDERFUL for Mommy!!

We'll update more later because......WE ARE OFF TO DISNEY WORLD next week for 6 days!!!! We are all very excited. Grammie (Paul's Mom) is coming with us and the kids are very excited. This will be our first time going since we became Disney Vacation Club members and we are so excited! We will be staying in a 2 bedroom resort hotel room at Old Key West on Disney property. I'll take lots of pictures!!!
