Disney Trip 2013

Then and Now (and Then)

 

The first time my dear family of six went to Walt Disney World was in April of 1987.

Here's a photo of my four children back then. 

Clockwise starting with Mickey: Joe, Kevin, Katie, and Mandy.

 

Each of them has returned to WDW at least once since then.

In February of this year...for the first time in 26 years...all four of them were there again.

I have good kids...the four of them agreed to pose with Mickey once more.

 

 

Oh my goodness.....where has the time gone?   Such sweet memories!

 

 

 





Disney Trip 2013

Our Disney Trip was a lot of fun...including the "getting there" part of it. 

Here's a few scenes at the airport....sorry for the blurry photos!

 

This was Elijah's first trip to Disney...he was super excited!

Penelope was super excited too...she just isn't showing it right now. : )

Fourteen people travel with a lot of luggage.

Charlotte thought having Caleb on a leash was really funny. 
She and Elijah took turns taking him for a walk.

Yes...she's still super excited...but it's very early...she's also a little cranky.

Katie and Bill got to ride child free....Daddy & Nana sat with Charlotte.

Aunt Mandy got to sit with Caleb and his mommy.

I sat with Elijah and his daddy. Elijah thoroughly studied the safety guide. 

 

We're off!!!

Here we are at the Orlando airport...love that Mickey was there to welcome us!
As usual...I'm taking the photo!

Until next Wednesday........

Disney Trip 2013

The first week of February my entire family (plus Katie's mum-in-law) went to Florida to visit the Mouse.  We've been planning and saving for this trip for two years!  I took more than 3000 pictures...sadly they didn't turn out as well as I hoped.  But I still got some fun photos to share.  I'm going to take my time doing that though.  Since most of them feature the four shortest people in our group, I've decided to feature them on Wednesdays...my regular grandbaby day!  Here's a few to get us started.

 

 

Here' s the whole bunch of us, including Katie's "mum-in-law" from England.  We were so blessed to be able to enjoy six full days and two half days staying at Walt Disney World.  This photo was taken on our final full day.....and look! Most of us are still smiling!!  We all had a good time. 

Look at Caleb trying to get a peek at Mickey.

 

Penelope, Elijah, and Charlotte had a great time. I know all the adults in our group wish they had half the energy that "the littles" do....and many of us wished we had a stroller to relax in when we didn't want to walk anymore. I was very happy that we had four strollers to choose from when I needed something to hold me up at the end of each day!!

This little guy was really enjoying one of the Disney parades.  I wasn't sure how he would react to all the characters.  Up close....he wasn't too sure.  But from a distance....he was VERY excited!!

 

Okay...that was 3 of 3000. Guess I best get back to editing!
