Fantasyland

After breakfast we headed back to Fantasyland. We figured the carousel would be a good warm up ride for the kids.

That is my Aunt Earlene next to Joseph. I stood next to Guinevere once the ride started, I just stepped back for the picture.


Next we moved on to Dumbo. The line was surprisingly short. Good thing to because my kids were super impatient about waiting in line. They kept trying to cut in front of people to get to the front of the line.

I was sitting right in front of Barbara, Jalynn, and London so I got some great action shots of them up in the air.


Here is me, Joseph, and Guinevere waiting for the ride to get started. I am pretty sure this was Josephs favorite ride.


My Dad and Jacob were a little too far away to get a great picture of them.


Next we headed over to the Casey Jr Circus Train ride. (Don't worry I don't plan to give a play by play of the whole day.)



This is a great picture of London on the Snow White ride. It is a mixture of excitement and fright. London and Jacob both did great at going on all the rides, even Big Thunder Mtn, and Space Mtn. After the Snow White ride and Mr. Toads Wild Ride Joseph would not go on the Pinocchio ride. After siting out that one ride he went on everything else. Surprisingly he loved all the rollercoasters. When given the choice to go on the rollercoaster in Toontown a second time he chose to go.


Unlike Guinevere, Jalynn was very content to be passed around, and everyone got a chance to hold her. Here's her and Papa in line for the storybook boats.


All three kids loved the tea cups. Barbara took both boys with her,


and London and I had a pink cup all to ourselves.


We did go on It's a Small World later that evening, but I don't have any pictures from that. Tomorrow, if I have time, I will post more pictures of our wonderful adventure at Disneyland.

Disney Breakfast.

To start our Disneyland trip off right my Dad took us to a character breakfast. The food was great, and the kids absolutely loved seeing all the characters that were there.

Joseph sleeps with a small Winni the Pooh and Tigger, so I really tried to prepare him that the ones we would be seeing were going to be a lot bigger. He had no problem loving on all the giant Pooh characters.

Jacob and Joseph with Eeyore. I just love how Joseph is too engrossed in cuddling up to Eeyore to even look at the camera.

I think the cheesy grin on my face might just be as big as Hooks.

This is not the best picture, but it is the only one I have with all 4 of the kids.

This is my sister Barbara with her daughter Jalynn, Me holding Guinevere, and the lady in red is our breakfast hostess Minni Mouse.

London was so excited to show Minni that she had a picture of her on her shirt.


Guinevere loved Pooh. She kept grabbing his nose, and petting his soft fur.


Minni got right down and was playing peek-a-boo with Jalynn.


Here are the other three with Pooh. He was the first character that we saw when we got into breakfast. Each of the characters came around multiple times, so the kids really had a chance to warm up to them.



We all had a really great time. I hope the kids remember this experience for a long time. Thanks Dad.

Jalynn's Blessing

A few weeks ago my niece Jalynn was blessed. Rob preformed the blessing and it was beautiful. We are hoping since my mom takes her to church every Sunday that she will be a spiritual guide in her families life.

I had hoped to get more pictures, but it was starting to rain, so we had to make do with just one group shot minus Rob (he was behind the camera)



For those of you patiently waiting, I am working on our pictures from Disneyland, and will have them up as soon as time permits.
