First Day Highlights

We had fun yesterday at Animal Kingdom. The one mishap was that I ripped my pants while rushing through the park trying to get a Fast Pass for an upcoming ride. I ducked between some guy and a shrub, and the shrup won. It's not a problem... I have one more pair of clean jeans that I can wear for 6 days.

The highlight of the day, if it was not the Mt. Everest ride, was the Lego Store at Downtown Disney. The kids really loved that, and I have many pictures stored at this link. Caleb managed to spend all of his fortune on 4 Lego toys... Go figure... we come all the way to Orlando to buy stuff we could have bought at home or online. That's what he's into these days.

This day was Lori's 29th birthday. Diney gives you a $75 merchandise gift card so that was nice. Today is Caleb's b-day, so we will be going to Epcot and probably taking the other birthday option of getting 4 Super Fast Passes.

Having Luke along has been fun this time, though we have been reminded several times why he didn't come last time. Somehow, he is the catalyst for arguments with his older brothers! All in all, we're having FUN!

Our cabin is pretty nice. Not elegant or luxurious at all, but functional and homey. We have about figured out the Disney bus system here, and hopefully our average wait time will improve over time. I'll post some more pictures later.

Disney's Animal Kingdom

Today's visit was to Animal Kingdom. This is Mt. Everest, and was the favorite ride of everyone. We also liked the Dinosaur ride. Weather was nice - about 61 degrees.

On the way to Disney World... IN KID STYLE!!

Here we are on the way to Disney World. We left at 3:30am and so the kids and Lori slept for a good 4 hours. After that, we had the X-Box and videos and their Nintendo DS's. Tough life for kids these days.

Imperial Star Destroyer

1366 pieces and 2 days later, we finally completed Caleb's prime Santa gift.
