We're Going to Disney World!

I was thrilled when I heard my dad would be visiting for two weeks.  Of course, just getting out of the snow and cold is a giant plus when coming to Florida, but George and I always try to plan some fun events for him to participate in.  

First off--Disney World!

 

Kyle's family has season passes to Disney, so we loved having them come with us, too.

It was almost time for the parade to start when we first went in, so we all found a comfortable waiting spot.

It looks like this bird was waiting for the parade to begin, too.

With all the music, the fun characters, the dancing, well, it just makes you smile!

Next, we were off to the Haunted Mansion.  Carter and Jenna had never actually been there before.  Brady had no desire, so he and Kim went to do something a little less scary looking.

An old horse-drawn hearse.

It was definitely a "thumbs up" from Jenna and Carter for the Haunted Mansion.

On the opposite side of the coin was "It's a Small World," which Brady definitely loved. 

Actually, we all loved it!

I snapped a few pictures of my favorites:  A reminder of Venice.

Hawaii--one of our favorite places.

Koalas--a pleasant reminder of our time with The Wilde Family in Australia.

As we walked from one area to another, we saw this huge boarded area.  Evidently, a gigantic new land is being built.  I can't wait to see it finished.  About the only thing you could see is this huge castle--definitely different from Cinderella's.

Do you notice that Jenna likes to tease her grandpa?!

The kids, young and old, love the Buzz Lightyear Ride where you get to shoot laser beams at all kinds of objects and have a great competitive battle.  Look at the intensity as father and son compete with each other.



Mother and son.

Grandpa and Granddaughter.  (Is he in shock?)

All the guys take a little rest.

 

Cinderella castle at night is always a thrill to see.

After a perfect day, we were able to see the electrical parade.  As we were watching it, I was thinking how wonderful it is to we with family in such a fun place.  We all agreed that it was just the best!

We were all pretty hungry, so we stopped at a Mexican restaurant on the way home, then went back to Kyle and Kim's to stay.

Brady absolutely loves to play basketball, so the next morning before George, my dad, and I left for Miami for a church assignment, we went across the street to a little park to watch him practice. 

He is really getting good!

Way to go, Brady!  Just keep it up!
