Mark and Andrew on the Carousel

Bethany and James riding Dumbo!

The Jungle Cruise

The whole gang (minus Creg the photographer)
As you may have noticed, Caleb did not make this trip with us. Back in August when I started planning for this trip, we were originally going to Disneyland. That is until my sister Amy called and told me of this great deal to Orlando through Southwest airlines. It was an offer we couldn't refuse. But because it was a short trip, with a long airplane ride, long busy days and sometimes more than one park a day, we decided not to take Caleb. He was safe at home and having a great time with the Carlston's. I did feel guilty about not taking him, but it was nice not having to worry about naps, strollers, rider exchanges, and in the end, I was happy he wasn't with us, but we did miss him.
-"Mom, why is Florlando so far away?"
-As soon as we took off in the airplane for the first time Andrew starts yelling excitedly at the top of his lungs "we're flying....we're actually flying..."
-We are on a fast rollercoaster ride and he asks me calmly," Mom are we going to fall off this thing?"

Other rides we went on: Pirates, Haunted Mansion, Teacups, Space Mountain, Country Bear Jamboree, Swiss Family Robinson Tree House, Big Thunder Mountain, Snow White, and Peter Pan!
The kids really enjoyed looking at all the animals

One of the Highlights of Animal Kingdom for me was the Lion King show!

Some of my favorite Andrew quotes of the trip:
-"Mom, why is Florlando so far away?"
-As soon as we took off in the airplane for the first time Andrew starts yelling excitedly at the top of his lungs "we're flying....we're actually flying..."
-We are on a fast rollercoaster ride and he asks me calmly," Mom are we going to fall off this thing?"
-One of his favorite sayings when he is really excited (which we heard a lot this trip), "Mom, this is the best day ever!"
