Disney World Highlights

Preston finished up his semester and had a week off last week, so we spent a few days in Orlando. It was tons of fun! Our good friends, the Durtschi's, came with us and it worked great! Between fast passes and kid swaps, we were able to do all the "big rides" and the kid rides that we wanted. The longest line we waited in was no more than 20 minutes!

Brayden also hit a milestone of riding the carousel all by himself! He rode with Daddy once, we stood next to him once and then we let him sit on his own while we were on our own horses too. He felt so big :D He also loved the teacups, which we didn't do last time we went. He was screaming and smiling the whole time.









See how wet he is? But we didn't change him because
 it was so hot out! I wished I got soaked :D

Waiting for the car stunt show. I thought Brayden would love it, but I think he got scared a couple of times.

During one of the stunt scenes. Judging from my face, it was a pretty good one :)
I tried to pretend that it was extra cool so that Brayden wouldn't be afraid.
But, he still had his whiney face on.

Brayden found this at a gift shop and started carrying it away.
 He loves stuffed animals and the bigger the better.

The backstage ride. Soon there were flames and a whole wall of water and
Brayden didn't want to be by the edge any more so he came over to sit by me.

The Durtschi's. The boys love Star Wars!

Tyler got to do Jedi training!

Ready for the Toy Story ride!

My boys.

Big Kids :D

First carousel ride. I guess my belly must be getting bigger because Brayden decided he'd rather ride on Daddy's lap!


Teacups!

My favorite part was when Preston put his hands in the air and then Brayden did it at the end. Something about those little arms that barely reach above his head when they're stretched out just couldn't be cuter! Especially when he's got a big grin on his face. When it stopped, he tried to turn the wheel to make it go.

Last carousel ride. It was the end of the day and we had just pulled out binky and blanky, but he still looked proud to be a big boy on his own horse when he was riding!

Brayden loved the pool! He kept walking until the water was up to his chin and then he still didn't want to be held.

He also found a new love of climbing out of the pool and then coming back in. He loved "jumping" from the edge if we were holding his hands.

Great times! Too early for memories for Brayden yet; but way to take advantage of living in Florida :)

I can hardly wait to be there with you guys. Just a few more weeks :D
