Disney World Day 7: Friday, May 2 (2014)

It looked like it was going to be a rainy day and we all needed some rest, so we took Friday off and stayed at the condo.

Henry and Walter spent quite awhile at the pool.

While it rained, we watched a few episodes of "Dirty Jobs"...

 ...took a few naps...

...and the boys made Krispy Kreme run with Mimi Erin!

We finished the day off with watching "The Princess Bride" before heading to bed.

Disney World: May 1, 2014 - Visitors

After we got a little rest, we had some visitors.  Our cousin, Sharon, and her family happened to be spending a few days at Disney World at the same time.  We ate some pizza and enjoyed the chance to catch up in person.  Henry and Walter had tons of fun getting to know their cousins and have mentioned several times since then that they wish we got got to see B & L more often.

Fun building a fort with the couch cushions.

Catching up:  Erin, Sharon, Mom, Megan, Liz

 Could these four get any sweeter? 

Walter, B, Henry, L

Disney World Day 6- Thursday, May 1

Epcot was our next destination. 

Waiting under the "golf ball" for Epcot to open.  Henry is giving Water a little kiss to start the morning.  Actually, it seemed liked the heat accentuated the fact that these two guys were pretty tired...I think there was a little bickering going on.  

We made a beeline for Test Track first.  Henry and Walter loved taking designing their cars. 

 Here was proud of his design.

 Visiting the Living Seas.  

Thankfully, Grandpa was able to rescue Walter from the jaws of Bruce.

Mimi Megan making her appearance. 

Before lunch, we made sure to try out Spaceship Earth, Turtle Talk, and Soarin'.  At that point the A-Team started to falter the whole group went in search of lunch in the World Showcase area.   

Taking a water break while patiently waiting for lunch.

Watching the ducks -  a persistent family of ducks lingered around the benches while we ate, trying to grab our lunches.  Henry and Walter followed them as they waddled away for a swim in the lagoon.  

I had come down with a cold and wasn't feeling well and the the guys were exhausted, so the four of us drove back to the condo.  Megan and Erin ended up staying for the rest of the afternoon to enjoy Epcot.  I think we did some napping and swimming at the pool. Maybe we'll be ready to conquer Epcot next time!  

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!
