Disney January 2010 - Epcot!

We found Stitch (Seth was almost as tall as he was!)



Daisy was there, too!



Luke gave her a kiss.



Mesmerized by the fountains...









Mary Poppins! I was amazed at how super white her dress was. It was almost fluorescent!



Luke wanted to hold her parasol.



She obliged, but that was a fake smile. I knew she was secretly hoping he wouldn't get it dirty. Spit Spot!



Kidcot Stop!



Japan!







I think this was in Morocco...check out the mighty warriors!





America! The poor kids needed shades in this picture. I have no idea what Luke was doing!



This picture was taken by a 6 year old. He did an excellent job!



Meeting Mulan in China...





Norwegian Vikings!



Luke tried on several helmets from the bin. He couldn't figure out why this one made us laugh.



Using a walking cane as a weapon in Mexico... Jesse was quite shocked!



Is this a harmonica or a flute?



Jesse was attempting to time travel when this picture was taken (notice part of his head was vanishing!).



We got him back! Whew!

Disney January 2010 - Animal Kingdom Resort!

Hanging out with some giraffes near the Jambo House...



Seth posing with some fern-like plants...



Luke posing on the pool deck...



Arcade!



I can't believe we don't have any pictures from our room! The boys had bunk beds and we could see giraffes and ostriches from our deck. I can't find any pictures from the night we ate at Boma, either. We need to be better about taking pictures next time!

Jesse and the boys...



Waiting for Mommy to come back from Expedition Everest...



The Tree of Life...



Racing in my sturdy jeep
On safari! Beep! Beep! Beep!



Find a clearing, pitch a tent,
Assisted by an elephant!



Luke really liked this cool Mickey phone we found in Guest Relations on our way out of the park. My 3rd grade BFF had a phone like this!

Disney January 2010 - Dinner at Chef Mickey's

Waiting for Mickey and friends... who do you think was most excited?





Its Minnie!



Donald!



Mickey!





Pluto!



Playing Hide-and-Seek with Goofy...

Christmas 2009

I can't find any pictures between mid October and Christmas, so I'm going to have to hunt for them and blog about the rest of October and November when I find them.

In an attempt to catch up on all the blogging I haven't done, I'll try to keep this post short.

The boys put together their annual gingerbread house.



They also had fun hiding behind the Christmas tree.



And Seth got to be in the Christmas play this year.











Luke got to wear his Daddy's hat.



And my Christmas blog is done!

A new blog post...

buried in the past! I found a draft of a blog that I was working on. I just published it with its original date. It was June 26, 2009 "Lunch Time Fun With Luke." You'll have to search for it if you want to see it!

Noah's Landing-October 2009

I'm going to attempt to catch up on my blogging, since its been almost a YEAR since my last post. Here goes!

We took a field trip to Noah's Landing last October with some homeschool friends and got to see lots of neat animals that we've never seen before. We all really enjoyed it, but it was an all day event, and I was really tired by the time we got home. The lady that owns and runs the rehabilitation center did a thorough job of showing us all the animals they have. My brain was on overload with all the knowledge we gained about each of the the animals!

Here's a pic of Luke and friends (and the back of Seth's head) with a hedgehog. He felt really bumpy!



Seth got to hold this reptile and the other kids got to come up and pet it.



This cute possum had been hit by a car as an infant, and is now cross-eyed. They take care of lots of injured animals at Noah's Landing!



Here's a baby alligator that the kids got to pet!



This little animal was a little timid and liked to hide in its house. (I can't believe how much Luke has grown since last year!)



Seth was picked to hold this little thing (I can't remember what it was called) so that the other kids could pet it.



Llamas!



Zebras! (We got to feed carrots to the zebras and llamas. They drool. They were a HUGE hit with the kids!)

We had a great time at Noah's Landing!
