John as a pirate after going to "The Pirate League" in Magic Kingdom. His pirate name was Davey Whalebones. He was a little unsure of it all but in the end was a real trooper. Still today he will put on the earring that he got and call himself a pirate.
Kristina after going to the Bibbidi Bobbidi Boutique in Magic Kingdom to turn her into a princess. We already think she is a princess but this way everybody knew she was. She had a blast and since we have been home she has wanted to put the makeup on over and over again.
Lunch at the Crystal Palace in Magic Kingdom on 06/13/2010. This is our favorite place to eat and see the characters. Piglet just so happens to be Keegan's favorite.
Kenny and Goofy in the Magic Kingdom on 06/18/2010. Goofy just so happens to be Kenny's favorite. A lot of people have been asking which one is goofier? I will leave that up to you!
As you can see from the pictures above we went to Disney World for vacation. We waited for school to be out for all three of our kids. Keegan made the honor roll again. Way to go Keegan! Kristina was promoted to the second grade. Way to go Kristina! We took off in our motor home on 06/11/2010. We arrived safely in Disney on 06/12. Kenny did all of the driving and did a great job. We stopped Friday night just outside of Chattanooga Tennessee so he could rest up. We got up bright and early and continued on our way. We arrived at the Fort Wilderness Campground safe and sound and got all set up and then went to get our tickets from the Shades of Green (Military Hotel). We were unable to get a room there because they were full but we were able to use Kenny's military discount to get a great deal on tickets.
We went to all four parks and both of the water parks. The kids had a blast and were real troopers. The kids tried all the rides that they could - John could not ride the Rock N Roller Coaster at Hollywood Studios but they rode everything else. The big boys did Mission Space, the adults and the little ones sat out on that one. The kids, Kenny and I were in line for Test Track at Epcot but got rained out instead. There were a few moments on some of the rides that the kids did not like but they never said no they would not go on another ride. The kids favorite ride is Haunted Mansion. A close second is Splash Mountain. They loved the wave pool at Typhoon Lagoon and didn't want to leave when it started to rain. The parks were open late on certain nights and we stayed as long as we could - some nights until after midnight. As a matter of fact, our last night there (06/18) Magic Kingdom was open until 3AM and we stayed until 2:30AM. The kids didn't want to leave - not just the little ones but the big kids too.
Since we have been home............
