Disney World Day 5 - Wednesday, April 30

 We spent Wednesday back at the Magic Kingdom.  
At some point, we were even able to get a family picture!

Riding the ferry over to start the day.  Nate is all set with his coffee, too.


We had a few minutes to investigate the new Fantasyland, which was pretty cool.  Mimi Erin and Henry took some great pictures inside Gaston's but I can't post them.  

 Grandma and Henry by Gaston's fountain.

View of the new 7 Dwarfs Mine Ride from the backside.
We weren't very impressed with the Ariel's Grotto ride but kept on moving and ended up at the Barnstormer.  Henry loved it but Walter didn't like it...which is funny because Walter loved Thunder Mountain!
 Getting ready for the Barnstormer...

 The first drop!

This was the second round.  Poor Mimi Erin got stuck with me the first grabbing on to her arm the first time we went through but she managed a seat with Walter this time. 
You can see Mimi Erin waving and Henry is the seat in front of her.

Let's go again!  

 Dumbo was next up!  The improved the waiting system so much that we barely had time to take a picture together.








Gramps and Grandma enjoying the ride.

Tea Cups - a few brave souls!

 It was pretty tight in our tea cup with 4 people, 
so I didn't get the best pictures...but you can see we're having fun.

 Nate letting loose!

 Some of us rode Thunder Mountain again and some went to the Country Bear Jamboree and then we met up at this Frontierland establishment.  The bird stole a hamburger off of someone's plate and proceeded to eat it...

Starting to get worn down but Nate is able to 
manage a look of awe as he takes in Frontierland in all it's glory!
Henry calls it Texas.  

 Cooling off in It's a Small World.

One more ride on the People Mover for Henry (soooo much like his mother!).

We were pretty tired and decided it was time to go back to the condo.  Nate and I went to Miller's Orlando Ale House for a steak and lobster anniversary dinner (10 years - can't believe it!)...and then we stopped at Target and got some toilet paper for the condo. :)  We were thankful to be celebrating at Disney World instead of celebrating in the hospital, like we did the year before!

Disney World Day 4 - Tuesday, April 29

After our late night at Hollywood Studios, we slept in a little it on Tuesday before heading to Animal Kingdom.  Henry went ahead with the Mimis, Grandpa, and Grandma to catch the Safari ride while Nate and I made a quick stop with Walter.  We caught up with them after our safari adventure.  Then, Henry and I set off together while the others went on the Safari ride with Walter - again.  A few animals the boys liked:







Can you spot the sleeping lion?


 Henry trying out some drums.

Henry wanted to go do Dinoland U.S.A. and go on a few rides.
I can feel the heat and humidity when I see these pictures.  He's looking so grown up!



 Finally spinning on TriceraTop Spin!

 And...we may have stopped to get a snack.

We met up with the rest of the gang at The Boneyard.  
I'm not quite ready to see him behind the wheel yet!


Time to eat some lunch and take a cool-down-break. What service!

 We barely held it together for "Expedition Everest," "It's Tough to be a Bug," and "Kali River Rapid" but Mimi Megan pulled through with frozen lemonades to save the afternoon and make the walk to the car bearable for Henry and Walter - and as a result, it was more bearable for the rest of us, too!  
 Heading back to the condo.

  Some poolside relaxation...they look like they know how to do this!

Ending the day with charades and a lot of laughs...



...and maybe tiny bit of frustration...
