Day 5, Sea World

After our 4 days at the various Disney Parks, we spent the next day at Sea World. I love Sea World, I could spend days there. The dolphins are my favorite. I am always amazed at how beautiful they are and how graceful they can swim, especially to be the size they are. We were a little disappointed in the show by the killer whales, but they are still amazing mammals.

We got to feed the dolphins. One of my most favorite things of all times!
Notice how he/she closes its eye when being touched, I love it.

I know the picture is a little blurry, but I was so proud of Cutter for feeding them.
The newest addition to the Shamu family, so sweet!

They are feeding the sharks. Tucker was a little disappointed that he couldn't get closer to feed them, I see a future in the marine sciences.

Day 4, Animal Kingdom

On Wednesday of last week we spent a good bit of the day at Animal Kingdom. We got to see the Lion King, go on an African safari, visit a petting zoo, ride a few rides and watch a short film.

We got to watch this giraffe using the tree to scratch his back, or neck, whichever it is.
I thought this was the sweetest thing, a baby elephant having a snack.

Day 3, Hollywood Studios

Hollywood Studios is where we thought Cutter would be most excited to go, most of the Pixar characters can be found there, and he absolutely LOVES Toy Story. The kids enjoyed getting to see some of the costumes and props from movies and getting an idea how some of the stunts are put together.

Mom and I enjoyed Beauty and the Beast while Hank, Dad and the kids rode a few rides.

Big, green, Army man. Cutter was unsure what to think.
Woody decided that Buzz needed to try on Tuckers hat.
Cutter was a little scared of them, I think due to their size, but still got his picture taken as long as someone held him.
High five for Buzz.

Day 2, Epcot

I wasn't sure how the kids would enjoy Epcot but Tucker loved it. He especially loved the space themed rides and visiting the different countries.
During our "trip" to Great Britain, we got to go to a Beatles concert.
Princess ears for the princess, there was no question of what she wanted.
Cutter chose the pirate ears, while yelling "aargh".

Time for the tooth fairy

Sailor lost her first tooth! She has been slowly working it loose and this afternoon she finally got it loose enough to get it out. She is quite excited about the tooth fairly coming tonight to make a visit.

Magic Kingdom

We just got back from a week long vacation to Orlando. In order to try and get in everything we had hoped to see, it made for some very long and busy days. The kids did a great job and I can only hope the trip was as memorable for them as it was for us. Disney truly is a magical place!

The park was all decorated for Christmas, it was beautiful.

One of the things Hank was most looking forward to, turkey legs!

Trick or Treat

Trick or treating turned out to be such a fun event this year. Last year we were a little disappointed with how few houses around us celebrated but this year was a whole different story. We took the kids down our street and the next street over and by the time we got back not only were the kids buckets completely full but Hank had give out of candy as well. We had our neighbors over as well as the Marquis family and not only did the kids seem to have a good time, but the big boys left to hand out candy seemed to have a lot of fun.
