DISNEY WORLD!!!

Yes, we have been back from Disney World for almost 3 weeks and I have just now had the time to sit down and share this extra long post.... there will be LOTS of pictures!!!! We had a MAGICAL time with 10 of our closest family members. 14 people is a very group to travel 12 hours with but it really was wonderful. Trying to find time to post these days are few and far between... normally the only time I can find to post is during a slow day at work (dont tell my boss!!), which is usually about once a month..... although I did skip September!!!
For those of you that don't know the whole story, we did not tell our kids we were leaving for vacation much less to Disney World until about 30 min before we left the house. Keeping this secret for 6 months was EXTREMELY difficult but was well worth the wait when we got to see their faces!!!

 Before the news.......

 and after the news......

 My mom got them all Mickey Mouse suitcases for the trip.

Packed like sardines and ready to go!!!! We drove from 10:30 p.m. till 9:00 a.m.

Casey and Roy were struggling by 7:00 a.m..... Me and Lacy drove the final 2 hours (fair I think??)

 Our first "Disney" day was a relaxing day by the pool!!

 Let the park hopping begin!!! Here are all 7 kids!!!

 On the monorail

 Character Breakfast

My mom and Pat with Mickey!

 Best part of the trip were the strollers!!!

 Sci-Fi Restaurant - you eat in old cars!!

 Anna was so excited she conquered the "Expedition Everest"

In order from left to right.... Cayson, Blake, Cruz, Lane, Bryce, Jax, and Anna

 Digging up dinosaur bones was definitely a hit!!

 We took a family outing (just us 4) one night and went to play goofy golf at the Christmas Winter Wonderland Course... It was definitely not winter temperatures though!!!

and yes if you are wondering, it was a bad hair day EVERYday we were there... HOT and HUMID!!!

 Test Track!! :)

It was a vacation with LOTS of memories!! It was hard to pick from 950 pictures but I am sure you can tell that everybody had a great time (even the adults). We hope to do this again in about 5 more years!!!

Have a great day and I am going to try and post later this week!!! We are having a small slumber party for my sweet Anna Friday night for her birthday so I am sure there will be several interesting pics!!
