Disney World Vacation!

We took the kids to Disney World this past week and had a great time! We met Lance and Steph and their five kids there. It was so much fun to see them and hang out with them all week. We miss them already! Here is a little photo recap of our vacation...proceed with caution--there are many photo's ahead!


Scott and Caleb at the Wilderness Lodge waiting for the bus to Epcot.


Pirate Chase, Crazy man Ethan, Wyatt, Madi (after being drenched on Splash Mountain ride) and Ireland.


At the entrance of Magic Kingdom. Ireland, Ethan, Ryan, Megan, Scott and Caleb.


I love this picture! Ryan is about to fall off the balcony (not really), Ireland is loving life, Ethan is imagining he's an action figure, Caleb is so tired and is about to pass out, and Scott is just wondering how we got all these kids.



The view from the Contemporary Resort hotel overlooking Magic Kingdom. We ate at this scrumptious restaurant on the 15th floor called the California Grill. Everyone watched the fireworks on this balcony after dinner except Scott, me, Ryan and Caleb. We got to watch them from the boat ride back to our hotel (Ryan and Caleb were tired!). It was so great!


Steph and Wyatt. Isn't Stephanie such a fashion plate? I wore a t-shirt and shorts everyday and Steph had a whole ensemble going on each day...this was her zebra outfit (according to Ireland).


The girls...Lauren, Ireland, Madi, and Lance


Ethan, Lauren, and Ireland...aren't they cute!


Some of our favorite rides...


Dinosaur. This was by far the scariest! Click on the picture to check out Ireland and Conor up close. Lance thinks he's so tough! Scott was too scared to come on this ride. (JK).


Pirates of the Caribbean. The pirate Ethan, Lauren, Ireland, Chase, Conor, and Madi


Splash Mountain. I waited with the baby while everyone else went on this ride. I noticed while I waited that those coming off the ride were soaked! Not a little wet...soaked! And yes, everyone from our party came off the ride completely drenched! I opted not to ride that one.


Everest Expedition. This was the funnest ride! Ireland loved it...Ethan was a little emotionally scarred after this one--he'll recover.

The boys at Animal Kingdom


Ethan, Ryan, Cale and big Daddy!

The Safari at Animal Kingdom!


I loved the Safari! A nice relaxing ride right next to wild animals (Lance and Steph!). Caleb was a little tired here...can you tell?

Ready for Disney World!


When we left for Disney World it was 9 degrees in NY. So happy to be going to warmer weather!!
