Disney World (part 2)

On our first full day at Disney World (Tuesday) we decided to go to the Magic Kingdom. So, after we got done eating breakfast we headed out to catch the bus! We never had to wait too long, but the kids usually managed to entertain each other... or meet some new friends. Yet another picture in front of Cinderella's castle....


Grandma Piano on the magic carpet ride with Lola....they were in charge of the 'tilt' of our magic carpet... and Keaton and I were in the front controlling the height of our magic carpet... :)


The kids enjoyed playing on any 'playset' they could find...

The long awaited ride on the train around the Magic Kingdom....the kids couldn't wait to get on this.
One of the kids' favorite places was Mickey's Toontown...below are pictures of the kids at Mickey's house! They thought that was SOOOO cool....


After walking through Mickey's house, we got to go and meet Mickey! Keaton decided that he didn't want to meet Mickey or get his picture taken with him (he was too scared). Instead he was the photographer for Lola and me.... BUT.....

...after our pictures were taken, Micky went over and gave Keaton a high five and a hug...then SNAP! we got a great picture.... (funny, after that point, Keaton was very brave with all of the characters and LOLA turned into the one who was scared and didn't want to be around them!)

Grandpa Sheryl and Keaton walking...walking...walking....


And..... another pic in front of the castle....pretty much from this point on, every time we stopped to take a picture, we had to do a nice one AND a silly one (by request of the kids, of course).


Shortly after lunch we headed back to our motel on the bus to take a break! The kids got to swim every afternoon, and loved every minute of it. (There will be lots of pictures of swimming in the next post).
Below is a picture of Keaton explaining a map to Lola. He would look at the map ANY chance he got and he loved to help us find our way!

sunglasses....too cute.
Mini family picture by the water.... We were on the way to our dinner reservation for the evening at a seafood buffet!

I may have forgotten to mention this...but my grandpa and grandma Werges also came to Disney World for a part of our trip. We would usually see them when we went to PCB, but because we weren't visiting this year, they joined us at the motel at Disney so they could see the kids! They never went into the parks with us, but ate supper with us that night and watched us swim in the afternoons. It was great to see them again, and the kids always enjoy an audience while swimming! :)
I just wanted to include a quick picture of Lola in her 'ear muffs'. She wore these most of the trip...she was pretty much a scaredy cat and didn't want to go on many rides or go to many shows. :) (unbelievable, but true) We would put her ear muffs on so things weren't so loud and if she needed to she could just cover her eyes to block things out.
We ended the night at Epcot (because it was close to where we ate supper). We mostly just watched the fountains and just did a ride or two....long days call for early bedtimes!
