Em and Trev posing in the gallows. This was NOT a "mom prompted" pic...they asked me to snap it and are making their best "oh no we got caught" faces.
Funny thing...we thought that all the fancy Disney World-type rides were the big draw so we were going to skip the carousel. But as we walked by it, Carter insisted on riding and he had a blast!
Trevor made this collage after we rode (several times!) another of our favorites... Buzz Lightyear Astro Blasters! And that number was Trevor's awesome high score!
Carter attempting to pull out the Sword In The Stone...
And no trip to Disney is complete without a Mickey Mouse shaped ice cream...
One day we had giant turkey legs for lunch, and Joshua got all three of the kids these weird apple cider ice cream float drinks. Somehow Trevor ended up drinking all three of them...
This was the last monkey pic we took on the way out of MK on our last day, in front of a Mickey shaped topiary...
On our flight home, Carter also got to visit the cockpit and sit in the pilot's seat.
And did anyone doubt that Bunny came on our trip? Funny tidbit... We tried to convince Carter all week to let us buy him a Mickey Ears hat. You know, that classic hat that you see EVERYONE wearing? Nope, he didn't want any part of it for himself but he did say "apparently, Bunny would like a Mickey Ears hat." I thought that was going to be a far fetched item to find, but guess what I ran across in a tiny little odd shop towards the end of our trip?! So here we are, Bunny in her new hat, on the plane ride home...
Hope everyone enjoyed ALL these posts of our trip. I know it was alot to read through but I just couldn't help sharing so much because we had such a great time.
And honestly what made our trip awesome wasn't totally because it was "Disney." Don't get me wrong, we had a great time at Disney World, but our take-away opinion about DW is that we'd rather do DisneyLAND. DW is huge, takes alot to time to move from park to park (and cost for several days and several parks), we didn't love Hollywood Studios much, we thought that we could have just about as much fun at the Oklahoma City Zoo as we did at Animal Kingdom, Epcot was cool but more like a museum day than an amusement park, and we prefer the compact layout of Disneyland having all of our favorite rides in one park. So next time we plan an amusement park vacation, we are headed back to CA where we can also enjoy the West Coast beaches and see family.
What did put the icing on the cake of our trip was that all five of us really relaxed, disconnected from regular daily stuff like work and school (and electronics) and had fun doing something together...for five whole days! And we've decided to make it an annual thing to travel on Thanksgiving so we've already booked a trip for 2013. The five of us are going to take a cruise! We are headed to Florida again and will sail for four nights to the Bahamas. We've never gone on a cruise before, so it will be a new adventure...and hopefully just as relaxing!!
