Warning - lots of pictures ahead!
Ben woke up the next morning with a Disney addition of the tooth fairy! He got a rice krispy mickey treat along with his change from the tooth fairy. It was a fun way to wake up!
Our stop for the day was Epcot.
We got there before the park opened because we had breakfast reservations at a castle with the princesses.
This was only day 2 so at this point Jackson wanted nothing to do with any characters. The three big kids did all the posing.
Aurora
Jackson was willing to show off his muscles, though. Is that the most hysterical face? I could watch him do that all day!
At one point they invited all of the kids to parade around the room together.
Ariel
Elizabeth loved chatting with all the princesses.
Snow white
She must be telling on the boys :)
Outside of the restaurant it felt like we were in Europe (which we kind of were - we ate in Norway) so we got a couple of pictures.
There's that face again!
Our big group
Ben and Cooper are inseparable!
Most of the park still wasn't open yet so the kids had a great time just running around like crazy.
Our Family - 2013
It was so gorgeous everywhere - we were in the tropics!
We got a good one in front of the ball - it took quite a bit of crazy shots though!
A little bit distracted :)
We were in awe of the beautiful fountain.
We went inside the Nemo area and watched the manatees - they were so close!
The dolphins were so fun to watch - they were swimming all over the place.
Dang - the kids got eaten!!
Saying hello to the shark.
We tried a new game - we played games to save money for our piggy bank.
We walked by England - we had to get pictures in the red phone booth!
Get us out!!!
I'm not even sure who this guy is - maybe an aristocat?
Ryan and I took Ben and Cooper on the "slow" Mission Space - Tom, Jessica, Elizabeth and my dad all went on the fast one.
I'm not even sure what this ride is - I'm sure Tom and Elizabeth went to ride something fast and scary and we took the boys to this ride. The three big kids loved to do all the fast rides - the boys were just a little too short for some of them.
And last, we had to get a picture in front of the Mickey head.
Of course it took quite a few tries to get it right!
We went back to our hotel to try to go to bed at a decent time - we had to be ready for a full day the next day!
