The dust is finally settling following our trip South, a big Atlantic snow storm and our Christmas with Cody's Mom and Sister's family. Oh, first things first, Happy New Year. Our house is a disaster and our tree is quickly becoming a tremendous fire hazard but I wanted to finally stop and prepare one of what will probably be several retrospectives from our trip.
Overall we had a great time. I think we all were a little disappointed that the kids were not that into Disney World. Things picked up when we visited Sea World and Epcot, still I think it would be safe to say, the pool at our condo was the trip favourite. Lesson learned.
A few of the sights from our first visit to the Magic Kingdom...
A very rare shot of the whole CAKE.
Got a spare $10 anyone? Poor Cody and Kate, Cody thought they were giving these away, he soon learned otherwise and we soon had the first tears of the trip.
The claw.
Our first character encounter.
Hanging out with, and in Elliott's case, licking, Zurg scum. This is moments after we had a few laughs and a few tears on the Buzz Lightyear ride.
A green Christmas.
I think Grandpa looks Mad enough to lead this tea party.
Care for tears in your teacup because we had them. We did have big smiles too.
Grandpa and Elliott sharing a quiet moment.
The quiet moment quickly turned into a sound sleep.
Boating.
Our princess encounter for the day. We were too impatient to line up so have to settle for a picture of someone else's children.
Kate's gesture, while watching the holiday parade, pretty much sums up our group's sentiments for the day: it's hard work having fun.
The kids' parade favourites.
The adults' parade favourites.
And Santa marked the end of the parade and our first day at the "happiest place on Earth."
Talk again soon.
CAKE + Grandma + Grandpa
